Now obviously when you put this game on you know you are playing a pirate game. Not only are you playing a pirate game you are playing a game based on a famous movie. Normally these types of games rarely live up to the hype. This game is based on the pirates of the carribbean franchise. If you have not seen the movie then all of this is new to you as will the game be new to you. If you have seen the movies then you know the characters and everything else. Throughout the game you normally play as jack sparrow but you get to also play as the other characters from the movie. Basically it starts from around the middle of the second movie and goes all the way to the end of the third movie. Lets get to the actual game play. To say that controlling your character is stiff would be an understatement. For a game the requires a lot of running and jumping its pretty hard to control at times. Fighting becoming boring after awhile because its basically press a button a few times then the fight is over. Not much strategy involved except for every once in awhile they throw a "boss" character at you. You can also have a sword duel throughout the game. Actually that is where some of the challenge in the game comes from. The duels can be rather difficult and tedious. The graphics in the game are actually pretty good and the movie is straight from the movies. I really think they had a lot to work with and they just stuck with the movie. They could have made this a free roaming game which would have really been good. Instead they went with a linear board after board game. The game is not really very difficult and replay-ability is really non-existent. I would only suggest this game if it is cheap and you are board. If not skip it and watch the movies.
