Pros

Gameplay
Simple, yet diverse and addictive. Retains all the good of the original, drops the bad stuff.

Intuitive
One of the easiest games in the world to pick up, one of the hardest to put down.

Many game modes
It's not just sailing around and shooting things, it's about trading, swordfighting, and yes, even dancing.

Cons

Not as deep as it could be
The game is simpler than it needs to be. It could stand to have a bit more complexity and depth, while retaining ease-of-use.

Annoying bugs
Though few, they're consistent. Disappearing pirate treasure maps and frozen mouse cursors are relatively frequent in our sessions.
