Age of Booty Hands-on
It's multiplayer madness with Capcom's new pirate-themed XBLA strategy game.
Developed by Certain Affinity, Age of Booty puts you in command of a single pirate ship on a map made of hexagonal tiles, and your goal is to capture towns along the water. And as strategy games go, the controls could hardly be simpler. On the Xbox 360 version we played, we moved our ship with the left analog stick and chose our destination tile with the A button. Then we sat back and watched our vessel head for open water. When you come into contact with an enemy ship, merchant ship, town or native village, just head to an adjacent tile, press the A button on your target, and your ship will automatically unleash a cannon barrage.
Gathering resources in Age of Booty is simple, too. There are three resource types in the game: gold, wood and rum. Rum upgrades your ship, gold upgrades towns and wood is used for both. Simply navigate to a floating crate to gather resources, or capture a town for maximum effect. Towns generate different resource mixes, displayed over their image on the map, so you'll want to target specific towns in accordance with your strategy. Each player has a base which provides healing, acts as a spawn point and allows you to upgrade your ship. There are three ship upgrade trees -- cannon, speed and armor -- and your ship will change in appearance as you move up the ladder. Towns are easier to upgrade; just highlight the town from anywhere on the map and press the X button once you have the necessary resources.

There are also hapless merchant ships plying the waters of Age of Booty, and although they're lightly armed they usually go down without too much of a fight. Take them out and they'll reward you with Curse Cards, which give you extra powers (like bombs and whirlpools) that can really cause trouble for your opponents.

Although there's a huge amount of customization in Age of Booty online, there's only one basic game type: Capture as many towns as possible. Up to eight players can take to the high seas at once, and up to eight teams can be formed, either locally, over Live or a combination of both. That means you and up to three friends can hook four controllers up to one machine, party up and take your group online.
