Game Description

As suggested by the title, this game is inspired by the summer 2003 feature film Pirates of the Caribbean, which is in turn based on Disney's famous amusement park ride. Players take the roles of roving swashbucklers in the Age of Sail. Such a life of adventure means danger and uncertainty -- a captain may never know where the wind will take him next, so he must learn to survive by any means.

Crafty pirates will trade for what they can, and steal whatever else they need. Captains may also better their lot by capturing a larger, more powerful ship, then manning it with their own crew; those additional cannons and muskets will be handy in the high-seas battles for wealth and glory. Other escapades take place on land, featuring exploration and sword-fighting. The action is viewed from an isometric perspective.

Contents

Storyline

Just like the film, Jack Sparrow fails to listen to Barbossa and walks the plank. He then ends up in a jungle, later finding himself in Port Royal, fighting people such as British Soldiers and pirates along the way.

Gameplay

The player plays as Captain Jack Sparrow and cannot save their progress, instead the player must keep track of passwords that show up at the end of each level. At certain levels, Jack will control a ship and engage in battle with other ships at points.

Reception

The game received generally poor reviews, GameSpot concluding in their review "Simply put, the bare minimum has been put into Pirates of the Caribbean" and awarding the game 3.8/10.[1] IGN noted "the battle between pirate vs. pirate in Pirates of the Caribbean is a basic and tedious button-masher", giving the game 5.5/10.[2]
