    Age of Booty is more than just a very simple real-time strategy game, it's also an addictive multiplayer game that will keep you (and your friends) busy for months to come. The game could have used a little more variety, but this $10 game proves to be yet another great game from Capcom! Read more

    Simple as it is, Age of Booty is a great way for all kinds of gamers to learn the basics of RTS gameplay. Not only because of its content and its rating (E for Everyone), but because of it's price. At $10, it's likely to be the most accessible real time strategy game out there. Read more

  3. Mad Tracks Hands-On Preview

    Reviewer: IGN Entertainment

    This level also shows off the slick physics engine, as the drink glasses have flat edges that make them harder to roll. On the other hand, the odd-shaped bottle (think something like a Perrier bottle) wants to roll in a circle rather than straight, so you have to hit it off-center to get it to go where you want. As I said, the initial game will offer 15 tracks. What we haven’t been told is what subsequent packs will offer, though we are told that additional downloads... Read more

    If it weren't for the online multiplayer and map editor modes, there wouldn't be much to say about Age of Booty. But this game wasn't designed to be played as a single player game so a lot can be forgiven. This is a heavily multiplayer oriented game and although it could've been improved with a little more variety, i.e. something other than capturing towns, it's still pretty fun. Therefore, if you plan on getting Age of Booty, do yourself a favor: forget the single... Read more

    Age of Booty can be fun to play, and more so against other games, but it has a fundamental problem in that cities are too easy to capture, even after they've been fully upgraded. You'll often feel like you're spinning your wheels as you get caught in an endless dance of capturing enemy cities while losing yours. It's not uncommon for a single game to last a half hour even though all that is required to end the game is the capture of three cites on a small map. Another... Read more

    A friend had told me about this new game coming out called Age of Booty. The name is what caught my attention. So the day it came out i tried the demo, and fell in love. later that night i bought the full version, completed the achievements and was instantly hooked. The multiplayer was my next stop after completing the campaign, newly versed in the open seas pirate warfare. i suddenly devised strategies, and met new friends. I instantly formed a band of pirates as we... Read more

    I bought Age of Booty when it was half off and its totally worth 400 points/5 dollars. The graphics are clean and the controls are decent but I didn't like that you couldn't change the camera angle. This game is a simple RTS based adventure and if you got your hands on it for only 400 points/5 dollars you will be very happy. You get a map editor so you can design your own maps. If your looking for a simple fun game to play to past time I say try out this game before you... Read more
