LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game is an action-adventure game that brings the Pirates of the Caribbean world and all its colourful characters to life in LEGO Brick form. Players will experience all the memorable scenes from the first three films, as well as those in the upcoming fourth film, "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides," in the humorous and quirky LEGO Video Games style.
Product Description
LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game will be based in the world of the globally successful film franchise, incorporating storylines, locations and characters from the first three films ("Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl", "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" and "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End") as well as the upcoming fourth film, "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides".
LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game will re-create the action, adventure and memorable moments of the Pirates of the Caribbean mythology in LEGO form, incorporating the humor of LEGO minifigures and fantastic worlds built from LEGO bricks and elements for players to explore.
Players can take on the roles of more than 70 characters and experience the pirate adventure, irreverent humor and amazing creatures of the Pirates of the Caribbean films, through action-adventure gameplay and hilariously quirky LEGO cut scenes.
Throughout the game, players will also have the freedom to explore environments from the highly acclaimed movie series in more than 20 levels. The game features two-player cooperative mode, in which players each control a character to experience the story together, and freeplay mode, which lets players return to levels to discover new items.

As a happy owner of all current LEGO ____ games I preordered this one with months to go.
More than happy that it arrived on the day of official release to say the least.
First impressions when I turned it on was that the cutscenes were awfully pixellated. I was using a DSIxl at the time and even when in a smaller DS there's the same problem. - this comes from the game being made for larger platforms and scaling down as a personal thought.
Then when gameplay began the graphics are different from past titles on the DS, this is something that is easy to overcome as the camera follows the player and the levels are huge.
Yes, the levels are large, which makes up *almost* for only four levels per movie. Each level as usual has a story mode and a freeplay mode where players can pick up all the nifty bonuses.
The only thing is with the levels being few there's little point in bothering with most of the bonuses unless you intend for lengthy replays. Which is always a possibility as the game does host the usual LEGO whimsy.
My only complaint is that the duel system gets a little tedious, but this is coming from an older gamer, rather than someone closer to the 7yr old minimum age who would more likely be entertained by the sequences. That said the game doesn't suddenly take on the classic 'nintendo hard' syndrome, which means anyone can play the game with security in knowing that the game gets steadily trickier with knowledge and skills gained on earlier levels.
The whole thing opens up with a tutorial level and there are tips and hints around to remind users of what to press and where (which sometimes gets a little annoying when you know darn well what you are doing).
Overall the game is a good buy, even before you see the last film.... Read more ›

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
That's what they say, and so it is here with this game from the Lego series. Not all lego games have followed the same format, Harry Potter years 1-4 and Lego Battles are different. Whilst Harry Potter is good, the format used on Pirates of the Caribbean is by far the best. Pirates of the Caribbean shares exactly the same layout as Indiana Jones 1 & 2, Star Wars 1, 2 & 3 and Batman.
Work your way through the films a level at a time, returning to each one again and again once more characters are unlocked. As with the other games, the Lego theme is very strong and the tongue in cheek approach is very good too. If you have played and enjoyed any other of the Lego games, you'll love this too. It doesn't matter if you have never seen the films either, the game is entertaining and easy to play.

Was very excited that a new Lego game was being released and with Captain Jack Sparrow no less and having played Harry Potter thoght it would be brilliant but it's a bit boring. It's worth 4 stars and might be better on a different platform but it's not nearly as good as some of the other Lego games.

The 3D animation, sound effects and score are vivid and entertaining: Captain Jack is very funny.
We were disappointed by the blurry video compression and muddy sound in the movie cut scenes. I don't know what video quality to expect on a DS Lite, but there is no excuse for the terrible sound. Thankfully the game itself sounds good on headphones or a stereo.
The puzzles and tasks we have seen so far are great for a 7-9 year old. Lots of hacking and shooting minifigures to bits, which should satisfy most young Lego fans. Completing the first level takes 30 to 90 minutes, and unlocks the choice of another four levels to play next. Unfortunately, when you save the game, you cannot restart in the middle of a level. "Free play", disappointingly, is not free, but forces you through the plot again, though with extra abilities to tackle the uncompleted tasks.

Just got this and gave it to 6 year old son yesterday lunchtime. He'd finished two levels by bedtime (with a few breaks in between). He seemed happy with it. Good buy at the price.

My daughter and I love it.
The only negative could be that it seems quite similar to other Lego games, like Star Wars for example. Read more

My son loves this game. He hasn't seen the films yet but I don't think you need to have seen the films to be able to enjoy the game.
