Anyone else got this game?

I'm having great fun plundering my way through the Spanish main and wooing every woman in every port.

Ah the memories that game brings back. [img]smile.gif[/img]

PS. I'm talking about the new Sid Meier's Pirates! remake of the old game of course.

lol, there is already a thread on this game.
But I am looking for more opinions on this game, as it looks like a good buy.
How close is it to the original???

It's pretty close to the original, but it looks much much better of course.
The pirating and fighting and looting and stuff is just as fun, and I'm finally capeable of making ground attacks on towns (I never figured out how to win ground battle in the original).
