User Rating: 6.4 | Disney Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End DS
I was looking to get this game once I saw the movie, I figured the movie was good so why not try out the game, I would of got the Xbox 360 version but I didnt feel like dishing out $60 on a liscened movie game, so i bought the DS version, and I have somewhat mixed reactions to the game.

Gameplay: While the gameplay can be a lot of fun, it is a pretty bland hack n' slash game, yes you get a whip or a couple of grenades here and there, (which are fun to mess around with by the way) and if you slash an enemy with a whip, he dies almost instanty, but when you run someone threw with a sword he doesnt go down, which doesnt make much sense. You can pick three characters, Jonny Depp, Elizabeth, and Orlando Bloom. The uses of the touch screen also are mixed, the lock picking is fun, but dueling is a little awkward. A plus for the gameplay is that there is a lot more puzzle solving in AWE than in DMC, giving a lot more variety to the gameplay making it feel more like Prince of Persia or Tomb Raider. It is also worth mentioning that getting Captain Sparrow is very rewarding! Even though it takes half the game to get him. All in all the gameplay is a fun, albeit repetitive hack n slash that throws in a few interesting puzzles and duels here and there, and it does a good job following the events of the Movie.

Graphics: The garphics are impressive in some spots, especially in the environments but fail to impress you in player models, the characters in the game dont look much like the real characters, but the 3D environments confiscate for that.

Sound: There isnt much dialogue, the characters say a little phrase when they get hurt and are fighting, but thats it. The in game music, however, is really good and it really goes with the gameplay and pirate theme.

Value: You'll finish the story in about 6 hours, Jonny Depp is worth unlocking, and there is a few minigames here ant there, even a multiplayer mode, also you can come back and play any level you want after you finish, if thats your thing.

Overall this game deserves a around a 6.5 out of 10, its fun, but has flaws you can get past if your a big fan or a fan of beat em ups.
