The backdrops and the nationalities of the ships you're blasting are the only tangible differences between the levels. Okay, multiplayer free-for-alls add a little spice to the formula, but overall this is a yo-ho-no. More Cutthroat Island than Master and Commander, this seafaring shooter misfires with its repetitive gameplay and ships that handle like ice skaters.
You'll love:
- Fun for the first level
- Simple to pick up
- Multiplayer free-for-alls
You'll hate:
- Little variety on offer
- Ships slide all over
- Story recycled for billionth time
