Finally Sid Meier's Pirates doesn't look too far off the horizon...

Originally released back in 1987 on a range of formats, Sid Meierâ??s Pirates quickly became one of the most popular and passionately supported titles in gaming series, whilst picking up a host of awards at the same time for its innovative design.

Setting a standard for its unique blend of open-ended role-playing, real-time adventures and thrilling action sequences; when Firaxis confirmed that a follow-up was in development back in 2003, itâ??s fair to say that quite a few older gamers began to get very excited at the thought of the return of more swashbuckling action.

Thankfully Firaxis today put everybody out of their misery, with the release of the first official trailer from the game. Sid Meier and his team have paid great attention to ensure the follow-up retains the qualities of the much-loved original, whilst at the same time expanding on the cinematic nature of the overall game.

Scheduled for release in Autumn 2004; weâ??ll have a closer look at Sid Meierâ??s Pirates soon, but until then make sure to check out the trailer in action.

great open play giving lots of choice on what to do next, the non linear approach makes this a true pleasure to play Maybe a bit difficult having so much choice for the muppet above
