The “adventurer” (or aggression) option is still fun, but a little shallow when you consider there are games like XCOM out there for a military strategy fix. And for that the “trader” version of the game is a little more fitting with the theme. In other words, there’s a lot of spreadsheets running in the background of this game. There’s a political environment at play between four different nations to deal with, and each town also has a popularity rating that shifts depending on whether you do it favours, or exploit its people. Both play styles are slightly different, but either way the game features a reasonably deep level of strategic depth you’ll need to build up towns to provide resources, fend of aggression from pirates and enemy factions, and expand your own empire by taking over towns, whether through smart economics or military dominance. There are two ways to play Port Royale 3 – either by aggression (buying up battleships and exerting military force on the 50 or so towns and cities around the Caribbean), or by trade (buying up resources from towns with plenty, and trading them to towns with shortages for profit). It is so different to the modern games that focus on instant gratification that it must have been a real risk to release it on consoles, and if there’s any justice in the world this risk will pay off, because while Port Royale 3 is not an excessively complicated strategy game, but it is a slow burning simulation that is so very rewarding over long play sessions. so it must be good yes!?! One of the best strategy games akin to Civs Revolution.Port Royale 3 made me glad that I still play games. I've experienced sleepless nights and been late for work. I bought the "Gold" bug free addition for $8 used and it was well worth it. The Kalypso site for the game is more interested in a flashy webpage that locks your computer up.no manual or any info on the game, just adds to sell expansions that in reality were probably patches to fix the bugs.

Basically you are on your own with no manual. I've accidentally found a lot of information by just randomly pushing every button.so there is information hidden within information hidden within information.as obscure as holding the L-stick down at certain times or hitting the D-pad inside a menu that was already hidden inside of two other menus. Unfortunately the controls are not laid out well, and there is no user manual or "comprehensive" tutorial. In the strategy resource managing area it is a 10. In the strategy resource managing I started out giving it a 10 for being one of only a few PC style strategy games ported to the consoles.
