Captain Blood is like God of War but with pirates
Really, the title of this post is the best way to describe Captain Blood. Not to say the game is anywhere near as good as the God of War series, but the mechanics are along the same lines. You'll be playing as a pirate who uses swords, guns and brutal finishing moves to take on the Spanish Main during the 17th century. New abilities and weapons are unlocked with the more gold you get and the only way to get more gold is by blindly killing everything in your way. I played through the first ten-minutes of Captain Blood and the game is fun to say the least. I like the visual presentation and the pirate setting is refreshing. Enemy AI was lacking, but that may just be because the enemies are always stupid easy on the first level. Captain Blood will be out later this year on the PC and Xbox 360. Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)There was an interesting game called Captain Blood once: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Blood_%28video_game%29 LOL @ all you guys making fun of the name. It's named after the awesome pirate book, Captain Blood, by Rafael Sabatini, published in 1922. If you like Treasure Island, you will like this (book at least). The game looks OK, but I want more adventure rather than button-mashing. Sadly I don't think I will get it here. wat a generic name for an action hero, y not undefeadable undead, or the almighty death, or jesus.... wait thats taken Looks pretty good. Definitely looks like it will have more variety than the GOW games especially the combat. The chosen still for the video just screams God of War (intentional?). He's got a white shirt, red sash, and then there's that blade..
Just sayin'. Definitely going to look out for this game, dunno if I'll pick it up release yet, but it looks like fun. every game that comes out with similarities to gow isn't a gow ripoff! btw- gow totally 'ripped off' devil may cry if we're gunna be all judgie and shit.. I too remember the old Space Trading game by the name of Captain Blood. I think Jean Michelle Jarre did the music for it. @ChaosTeaCup It wasn't a trading game, it was a travel-across-space-blowing-up-planets-and-talk-to-aliens-using-weird-symbols game. JMJ did the music but the game was fairly tedious, it was very easy to get stuck on a puzzle and have no way to progress, or to write down the wrong coordinates and end up at the wrong planet with no way to work out where you were supposed to be. I love GOW and I really like the Fable-ish characters and set pieces (OMG it has colors!), and the pirate theme is a plus... as long as it isn't fundamentally broken as a game, it's worth a try for me.
