In case you missed it, Pirates! is an action/adventure game where you take the role of a (drum roll...) pirate captain, looting, pillaging and yaar'ing your way to pirate fame and fortune.
PC Zone quite liked it, giving it a score of 88 and calling it a game that "effortlessly takes the best of every style of gaming and mixes it into a consistent and enduringly charming whole."
The PSP version will apparently feature additional features such as wireless Ad-Hoc multiplayer for up to four players, widescreen graphics, new treasure hunts and more.
"We love the new possibilities from handheld systems like the PSP system," said Mr. Meier in the press release. "Pirates! for the PSP system allows players to shape the heroic life of a pirate while embracing the pirate's way of life - always on the go!"
Sid Meier's Pirates! PSP is expected in shops on Febuary 23, 2007.
