Additional multi-player maps, some of them much larger than those seen on Xbox, have also been added. Treasure Hunt - All new treasure hunting not seen in any previous version. There are more than 20 unique locations that the player will have to navigate around to collect pirate treasure, find lost relatives, and Incan cities. Accessible User Interface - The menus and user interface are optimized for use on a portable device. The Widescreen display is fully utilized and the controls available on the unit are used to their maximum potential. Navigating is smooth; the player won't miss their mouse at all! Minimal Load Times/Breaks of Play - There are minimal load times and breaks of play when switching game modes. The player will be able to navigate between the 3 major game modes - sailing, ship to ship battles and entering a port - with only minor transition times. Stealth/Sneaking - Using a 3D tile-based environment, players move one square at a time around a large grid of buildings to hide for cover and fight with guards in the town. Land and Sea Battles - The player fights in the same grid/turn based fashion as the PC/Xbox. Engage in fierce naval battles, against both single vessels and multi-ship convoys. Harrowing action sequences on ship decks include swinging from yard arms, slashing down sails, and clobbering enemy crew as players make their way to the enemy captain.
