About this product
Product Information
More an action-adventure game than a straight naval sim, Pirates: The Legend of Black Kat is designed to offer PS2 and Xbox gamers the chance to live the free but dangerous life of a true pirate. Players will explore five strange new lands that hold unimagined treasures for those brave and skilled enough to claim them. Battle and conquest are also important ingredients in a pirate's lifestyle and combat takes place both on land and on the high seas. The player's character is quick with a sword and can increase her swashbuckling skills with experience. <br><br>Similarly, wealth gained from adventure and victory allows the pirate to upgrade to larger ships with more deadly weaponry. A dozen unique fighting vessels will become available to skilled captains, along with special accoutrements that afford the ships extra powers. Sea battles involve a realistic combination of positioning and timing, as tall ships align themselves to fire on enemy vessels from port- and starboard-mounted weapons and time must be spent reloading the powerful cannons and guns after each shot. The ability to repair damage on the fly is also an important strategic consideration in ship-to-ship fights.<br><br>Though the gameplay of this 3D adventure is oriented towards fast action, several elements of role-playing are also incorporated, to move the story along and involve the player more deeply. The lead character Katarina de Leon plots a thoughtful course for her career on the open seas. The "Black Kat" sets sail to uncover mysteries and position herself in circumstances that will increase her overall status among other pirates, securing a position of power. In addition to Katarina's well-developed storyline, the game's "Captain vs. Captain" battle mode allows a more combat-intensive, freeform style of play.Product Identifiers

The most engaging, interesting & varied adventure game I've played. Excellent!
This game is unique in two ways: 1) It uses a woman as the player's character - a heroine named Katarina - "Kat" for short, hence the title "Legend of the Black Kat". "Black" in this case, refers to her clothing and pirate flag. Kat herself is Spanish. 2) It has two modes of play: land-based with Kat, and sea-based, in which you control Kat's ship. Both modes are very well done. Control schemes are well thought out and easy to use. Responsiveness is accurate, prompt & natural. There are many different characters in this game, and get this: they were voiced by real human actors. See the writeup in "imdb" for details. Really adds a lot of richness to the game! This is a mostly "open world" game. You are not locked into a linear progression. You can go back and forth among the game's many settings as you wish. The theme is that one mean, powerful character kills Kat's kindly father and, with his many "minions", takes control and oppresses the people of the islands. Kat sets out to free the people by progressively defeating the minions, building up her resources, weapons, ship, capabilities and ... information. Various well done cutscenes expand the story and reveal secrets Kat needs and can use. The ultimate goal, of course, is to defeat the big boss himself. Through the course of the game, you develop your skills and learn various strategies you will need later on. As with any good adventure game, you explore, collecting money (gold coins & jewels) which you use to upgrade your ship (even buy bigger ships), buy ammunition, health boosts, etc. The game features many islands you must visit. BUT... you need maps to get to them, and you must find those in the course of gameplay. Each new map piece gives you access to yet another island. The map pieces are placed to lead you to progressively more challenging islands. Each island is unique, with it's own climate, theme, treasures, enemies & challenges. They get more challenging as you progress. Each includes some kind of Boss battle. This is one of the most intrigueing, varied, engaging and enjoyable adventure games I have ever found. Many hours of fun, discovery and adventure. The developers did an outstanding job with this.
