If you are playing on an older machine- go PR2. Both are worth owning- but again, those with higher specced machines need to decide whether they sacrifice a little bit of control for a much better looking game, or go over to PR2 which is has updated controls but looks bad on a 1600x1200 system (as its locked at 1024x768). PR2 is perhaps a little easier to play as controls/keyboard shortcuts have been improved somewhat.
PR1 takes advantage of this and looks A LOT better than PR2 (which doesnt have anywhere near as much customising in display settings and is actually locked at a lower resolution than this and is unable to be changed). I have a 21" monitor and native setting is 1600x1200. PR1 has a graphics control menu that is far more customiseable than PR2, and anyone interested in puchasing either game needs to consider the obvious graphics quality difference in the two titles if youre a running a relatively modern computer. Whilst PR2 has much better control mechanisims and overall a much more fluid and easier to control game, PR1 looks better graphics wise as it is able to be run at a higher graphics setting within the game.
Sure, you can make easy cash by attacking anything near you on the high seas and then selling off the boats you capture, but making your own pirate hideout/town is so much more satisfying! Setting trade routes and making products to sell is where this game excels. Think Sid Miers Pirates!, but less swords and more economy and trading. In owning Port Royale and enjoying it a lot, I decided to buy Port Royale 2.
