Sid Meier's Pirates! Live the Life - Sony PSP

I was a bit worried about buying a used game, but this copy of Sid Meier's Pirates! loads perfectly and plays smoothly on my PSP. The thrill of chasing down treasure fleets and plundering ports hasn't aged a day. It's a fantastic little adventure I can take anywhere.

It's genuinely refreshing to pop a classic like this into the PSP and have it run smoothly right out of the case, no hiccups on the loading screen. The fact that it's been cleaned and tested means I could jump straight into chasing down galleons without worrying about a scratched disc.

The sailing and ship combat are surprisingly deep for a portable game—I've spent hours just hunting treasure fleets.
