If I could get away with a short review, I’d say do not play this game…period. But for those of you like myself who enjoyed the films, here’s the low down. Pirates of the Caribbean At World’s End loosely follows the events of Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man’s Chest and Pirates of the Caribbean At World’s End. I say loosely because if you did not watch the films, you would not have any idea what was going on.
Who is this pirate I am playing as? Why are the soldiers after him? Why should I even care about what is happening? I actually watched the movies and had a hard time following the events in this game.
After a couple of levels, Will Turner showed up to help Jack Sparrow. Now I have some back up to fight the endless horde of soldiers and… wait? What’s this? Game over? If you do not keep your team mate alive, you lose and reload at the checkpoint. The game did not explain how to switch characters or that you need to. I spent way too much time juggling characters just to make them pick up health potions, which they do not do on their own.
After 10 hours of using the same three hit combo and participating in horrible fencing battles with bosses, I wanted my time and money back.
Verdict: Skip It
