At world's end is a game based on the second and third pirates of the caribean movies. While the game has some interesting moments, the core gameplay tends to be bad enough to make it only worth a look for those really into pirates of the caribean. During most of the game you play as Jack Sparrow, but you will also occasionally get to play as Elizabeth and Will as well. It doesn't really matter who you play as because they all play exactly the same way. Through most of the game all you really do is run through the different levels while hitting the a button to kill stuff. Litterally all you have do is kill enemies is hit the A button three times, then hit it one more time to finish them off. Enemies that are not armed with a sword can be killed in a single hit, which makes the game feel even easier. The fighting tends to get boring and repetative after only about one or two levels, because you do exactly the same thing in pretty much every level. Occasionally you will have to kill certain enemies that can not be killed by regular attacks, and you will have to build up your special move meter, to kill them with a finishing move. This aspect of the game is definetly a little more fun, because you have to time the hits just perfect to kill the enemy. Another somewhat enjoyable feature of the game is when you have a duel against an oponent. During duels you move the joystick up, down, or straight to both attack and defend. The duels can be pretty fun because you can do some couter attacks, special moves, and it requires more timing than the usual fights, but it is by no means a challenge. In fact it is possible to beat most of the levels without ever being hit. The game is so easy that you can probably get something to drink, and at the same time eliminate enemies without much trouble. The game also has other flaws outside of boring, and easy action. The platforming moments attempt to brake up the gameplay a little bit, but end up feeling tacked on and in general feel pretty boring. The moments in the game that are generally the worst is when you have to take control of two or three characters, because the characters that you aren't controlling die rather quickly, and are of no help to you. These moments tend to be more challenging, but only because you have to constantly switch between characters to find health to keep everyone alive, which becomes extremlly frusterating. Overall 5.5/10 At world's end is at best, an okay game that won't appeal to anyone unless they are extremlly into the source material. And even if they are the game isn't worth more than a rent, because it is also a short game with very little replay value.

This game is repeat and repeat and repeat in SO many ways. The sword fighting is as dull as it gets and the controls are chunky. The sword fighting is slow, and you kinda "fence" until you enemy gets stunned and then... Read Full Review
