There is a huge difference between graphics in the two games, but neither are really better differencces. In POTBS the sea seems more realistic, and lighting, too, but in pirates, human detail is much better and scenery is also focused on.

The art in both games are different, and saying one is better than another is a bit unfair. They're just different, although the downgrades in POTCO annoy me, and there should be more plans to upgrade than the other way around.

Gameplay? Eh... POTBS and POTCO seem very similar in ground combat, although POTCO seems to want to focus on cool new gaming elements and weapons now than POTBS. Enemies? Eh, same almost. They both have ghosts.

Ship combat? Huge difference. At first, the combat in POTBS is very complicated, and takes some getting used to. Even once you're used to it, it doesn't seem like an in your face sort of battle. While I think ship combat in POTCO could be better, it's pretty straight forward, easy to understand, and fun.

The games are different. That's about it. Pick the one you prefer and that's it.
