I had "Pirates of the Caribbean" on Xbox and found it janky but fun - like a considerably-worse "pirate Morrowind" I used to call it at the time. And without at all knowing its original background as Sea Dogs 2, I remember finding it quite refreshing that it wasn't just a retelling of the movie but felt like a side-story set in same universe.
One thing that really stood out was how the dialogue-text would be quite erudite in parts, and then whole lines elsewhere seemed to have been translated by a B-team with barely-passable ESL, such as [in prelude to an escort mission] "I need some job. Do you know rich boy who's scared to go alone?"
Throwing my hat in the ring for "Hoops" — I hope they get to that one eventually! (Although I do with these were all together in a single Jaleco Sports collection)
Mega excited to try this port ASAP! LifeForce was an all-time co-op fave of so many friends and I. (I wonder if the mistranslated "Road British" ship has been correctly renamed "Lord British", as always-intended as a tribute to Richard Garriott!)
