Having survived a shipwreck, our hero, a young pirate, turns on the mysterious island ... According to rumors, then ruled by an evil goddess, lured sailors to "visit paradise" and try to find buried in the subsoil treasure. Finding himself ashore hero immediately finds ancient amulet capable transform its owner in Black corsair, terrible (on idea) demon. Island inhabited monkeys and other "spiteful" adversaries. Us be survive detect ship parts, scattered island, and gathering vessel leave cursed place.
 | |  | Console target on the PC in the game is sheer torment: to capture only the closest target, the safeguards that will enter - no. | | Meet on clothes. The first battle with the monkeys - and the idea of the game already happened. |
The hero's name is simply - Francis Blade, and let outside, he resembles a dancer Nikolai Tsiskaridze, not Johnny Depp, his weapons - the sword and pistol, not a bewitching charm of Captain Jack Sparrow, yet he longs for adventure, like many gamers, fans of marine Thieves ... He is brave, resourceful and cunning. List of advantages goes on for a long time, but essentially Blade - a classic pirate type. No and no again, he did not like the hero of Depp. But as the game goes in the summer, everything about him involuntarily recall. Even if the protagonist was Dr. Livesey, Pirates: Legend of the Black Buccaneer still be compared to the hit film "Pirates of the Caribbean. Dead Man's Chest. " To release a game about pirates right after the premiere - a risky move. But at Widescreen Games cheat. Protagonist taught neat trick of Prince of Persia, and now nobody can say that the Black Buccaneer Disney's request. The more so based on the movie has an official game. Pirates: Legend of the Black Buccaneer - an interesting fusion of "Prince of Persia" and "Pirates of the Caribbean".
The game does not suffer from typical "Prince" maximalism. In it there is some mild innuendo, which, on the one hand, indicates that many of the creators of the ideas thrown on the Midway, and on the other - distinguishes a game from the acrobatic oversaturated Warrior Within and Two Thrones. If the blade swings on the crossbar, then makes it not so expertly, as Prince, not so spectacular and graceful. His movements are clumsy, he can literally get stuck on level ground. But it is from this awkwardness there is a desire more often follow the development of the plot or with great pleasure to solve a puzzle, which, although not curled, but naively sweet and simple.
 | |  | Any puzzle in Black Buccaneer can replay - just click on the special lever. | | Black Corsair own persona. |
Black Buccaneer otschipnula piece from "The Prince", a bit - from "Le Corsaire" (present in the game and the ship's theme) - and got totally frivolous, some children, a good action game. Free marquees. Blood is replaced by bright flashes, and the monsters are not so terrible that night to play the Black Buccaneer with lights on. Collected souls of dead enemies you can barter for something useful. Or buy yourself a killer combo. Twice "LMB" three times "PTP" (here - "the right mouse button) - and straight from the shoulder blade easily cuts out of nowhere appears a monkey.
Severed limbs, bloody "mochilovo" and all the rest totally alien to the Black Buccaneer. This lightweight version of "The Prince", the present-day piracy on the trendy subject, which is most frightening about the transformation of Blade in Togo, the Black Corsair: instead of the hero's head - the skull, instead of the freedom-loving soul swashbuckling sailor - ego grinning ghost island. Even if you make a mistake in any puzzle, it can always be beat. Press a lever to salvation - and boxes (and in the Black Buccaneer is the pieces of the puzzle - this is exactly the movement of boxes) are returned to their original places. Another option replay - a simple save. Seiv-points at the levels of plenty to feel confident in the next step. The game is for children and runs her child should have a concrete assurance that a second Sky Black Buccaneer does not come down on the hero's anvil.
Insurance is most important. In Widescreen Games is not afraid to fasten together the two have become similar after the air frills Depp theme (adventure in the Caribbean, plus exciting printsevskoe jumping traps), but it's not too skillfully. To Black Buccaneer already become a hit game, the creators had to spend more time on the picture (an artificial waterfall, a screen through which it is impossible to go through - it's still five years old technology), combat system and a motion tween blade - make the game more mature, more serious. Unnatural emerald foliage, overly simple battle with opponents and ridiculous tightness of the hero - all it separates from the title of a good game. So far, she's just bad - bad as all that is created from others' ideas, but frankly and sincerely. Chance to break out in people Widescreen Games has established herself, she herself did not use it. Although a year later, when the advertising campaign will "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", the studio will be a great opportunity to finish the same begun.
 | Yo-ho-ho, all is well! |
We do not know why it happened, but the "pirate" games lately brought developers a lot more frustrating than joy. Even more offensive is that often the "pirate" career stumbled our company. "Corsairs 3" cool stained the reputation of Russian Studies, and all these games at all. Black sheep on this dark background looks reprinted in 2004, Sid Meier's Pirates!, Which has successfully returned the players' interest to romantic sea adventure.
Next came a short lull, after which there was plain and Black Buccaneer. The game continued the case of Meyer, and now the "pirate" action is in anticipation of his two saviors - Swashbucklers: Blue & Grey, and Odyssey of Captain Blood. " If Akella suddenly will not survive the release of these two games next summer and if they do not prove a terrible hack, Fall 2006 must pass under the sign of Jolly Roger.
