Annoying repetitive swordfighting, boring adventure and waste of time.
The sword fighting is slow, and you kinda "fence" until you enemy gets stunned and then do the killing slash, and in later battles that takes a while. So in those later levels you pretty-much have to punch-strike is all you can do. And both ways are dull.
Really the only pros to this is the finishing moves are neat and the boss and multiplayer fights are a new idea(I think). In fights mentioned you use the left stick on the controller to block and when it's your turn(yes you kinda take turn striking and blockin') you attack until you hit, and when you hit 3 times you get to have a "power move" which it very hard to block and it does double damage.
Graphics are OK but they could and should have been better. The Sound isn't bad actually is good but not great. The characters mouths move like their speaking a different language, compared to the characters words.The voice acting can have some credit though, as Jack does sound like Jack and Will does sound like Will.
In this it not all fighting tho, it involves a lot of climbing, balancing on logs, pillars, etc. You'll find yourself scaling cliffs and balancing over cliffs and a couple other things too.
Pirates of the Caribbean fans MAY enjoy it, but for the average gamer, go get something else. seriously. Also this game has NO replay value and the hidden items are stupidly unseen places. It MIGHT be worth a rent though, but I would'nt buy it for even $15. This game is VERY disappointing. But overall not a good game, more like boring, repetitive and waste of money *yawn*.
