Depp's "yarrr"s to be in Pirates game

By Tim Surette, GameSpotPosted Jun 23, 2006 1:25 pm PT

Oscar-nominated actor lends voice to Pirates of the Caribbean: The Legend of Jack Sparrow; game hits PCs, PS2s next week.

When Captain Jack Sparrow of Pirates of the Caribbean fame was revealed to be featured in the PlayStation 2 game Kingdom Hearts II, many fans were crushed to learn that heartthrob Johnny Depp would not voice the game adaptation of his film character.

That won't be the case with Pirates of the Caribbean: The Legend of Jack Sparrow, a PC and PlayStation 2 game from Bethesda Softworks. Depp will reprise his role as Sparrow, the suave buccaneer from 2004's Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl (for which Depp was nominated for a Best Actor Oscar) and the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.

Gamers will control both Sparrow and Will Turner (played by Orlando Bloom in the films) as they explore environments based on the movie franchise. Action will take place both on land and sea, with players swashbuckling through levels and learning new moves and attacks along the way.

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Legend of Jack Sparrow is being developed by Seven Studios and Bethesda, and will be released on June 27. For more on the game, check out GameSpot's previous coverage.

    oooh look, hollywood jerks making millions more money from the pockets of gamers just by appearing in sub-standard movie tie-in. shove this game and the "movie" with it.

    It will be great that the game will feature the Depp's voice. I also hope that the game is really good. That way it could sell even more. As for the movie, I really liked the first one and I'm looking forward to see this one.

    I was never excited about hearing about movie game adaptations. There are too many movie game adaptations that are bad that this game is not even worth a try. Im still excited to watch the film though

    i agree with Azodir. games based on movies have never been critically acclaimed. probably the best one out of the latest releases has to be king kong.

    The game will just be like any other game based on a movie. It will be fun for about 2-4 hours. Then it will just be a waste of money.
    But the movie that's another story.
