I love this game. It is the third in the series. Ahoy.

I purchased this game for my son, They say Xbox games targeted at children are either loved or hated by parents but this game we both loved. It tought my son the principles of business, the buying and selling of commodities, he has since become or at least started to portray some entrepreneurial traits, he tried to sell me the very sweets I bought him for scoring a goal for his under nines football team. I put this down to Port Royale 3. The games graphics could do with a little enhancement, but all in all a very enjoyable and educational game. I was surprised that he plays the Merchant and not the Pirate. They say if you make education fun, then they learn a lot faster, this game has certainly done that.

Port Royale 3: Pirates and Merchants is a proper strategy game. There are two campaigns to try, one which focuses on the trading/economic side of things and the other shifts emphasis to ship-to-ship combat. However you can mix those game styles yourself too. There are better strategy games, but if you want something different that you can play at your own pace then this may be for you.

Port Royale 3: Pirates and Merchants is a great trading game. I'd recommend this to anyone who enjoys trading games.
