It was not available in this early version of the game, but the finished version will allow you to challenge other players online for control of the high seas. If you find beating the French, Spanish, and British too easy with your pirate fleet, you can battle a wide variety of online captains. You can read about the different multiplayer options in our BB Sea Dogs FirstLook . I love the graphics on this game. The faces on the townspeople look real, the sky changes from sunny to stormy, and the ship bobs on the waves.
Every surface is richly textured, and the ships appear shiplike, instead of like floating boxes.
I loved the ability at sea to zoom in and out as well as fully rotating around the ship. You can even watch the flag flying free above your ship, and hear the planks creak as you turn. If a ship fires, you see a row of explosions, complete with smoke and fire. It was very realistic and well done. When sailing into port, each has its own music.
