Most of the characters have special abilities that other characters do not. It should be noted that just like previous games in the series, LEGO Pirates features songs from film's soundtracks, which adds a very authentic and epic feel to the gameplay.ĭanny: In most cases, the controls in LEGO Pirates work very well. There are times, however, where there are too many elements on-screen at once, causing a lot of slowdown when there is too much action. But it all works well, especially the characters, which are very expressive and detailed in their design. The haunting yet captivating atmosphere of the films is somewhat lost in this version of the game. Pedro: In comparison to the high definition versions of the game, the Wii version does pale when it comes to lighting, textures and character models. It doesn't break the game, but it is a notable glitch nonetheless. This happened to me on more than one occasion with various characters. Actions such as these are something that you normally see throughout the hub world, but from what I remember, Davy Jones was never pink, purple and blue all at the same time. Suddenly, a multicolored flashing Davy Jones comes running into the area wreaking havoc and attacking good townsfolk. For example, I was in the hub world destroying crates and collecting more LEGO studs. I did, however, run into some instances where some of the character models' colors would freak out. The game might not blow other Wii games out of the water visually (no pun intended), but the colorful, exotic locations are well crafted and run smoothly on the Wii. Even though the cutscenes are presented in pantomime, they are clear in what they are trying to say.ĭanny: Visually, Traveler's Tales did an admiral job bringing Pirates of the Caribbean to life in LEGO form. The only downside to this is that if you have not seen any of the four movies, the game will spoil some of the best moments. Even the representations of some of the darker themes are presented with a lot of humor.

It is a gentle and affectionate parody towards the films that everyone from casual to hardcore fans of the series can appreciate. While the way the game mocks the characters and the storylines may come across as insulting to the franchise, it is all done in good fun. Pedro: LEGO Pirates does stay true to the movies, presenting us with a summarized version of the film's plot on each chapter and highlighting important moments. To purchase most characters, you simply go up to them and confirm that you want to purchase them, whereas enemy characters, such as Davy Jones or crew from the Black Pearl or Flying Dutchman, have to be spanked a few times with your weapon to the point of yielding before you can purchase them. While the Port is the main hub to get into the story of the game, there are also a number of things that you can do, such as obtain more LEGO studs, customize characters, and purchase characters that you came across in the story mode. This is a great contrast from other more action oriented levels and really helps give the gameplay a balance of styles. For example, Davy Jones' Locker and Tortuga focus more on finding items and people in order to progress.

Not all of the levels are crammed full of action, there are also unique aspects from the movies presented for players to experience. The Port also gives you access to areas for each of the four Pirates movies, each containing five playable levels. The game's hub, called The Port, initially starts out pretty small, but becomes more and more expansive as you play the game. The game is split pretty evenly between puzzle and action elements. LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean does a magnificent job of capturing the Pirates myth while bringing its own sense of humor to it all.ĭanny: LEGO Pirates holds true to the movies in the fact that there is an ample amount of action throughout each of the levels in the game. I love Disney and I especially love the Pirates film franchise. Pedro: For me, while I've always enjoyed and respected the LEGO games, I've never been into them too much until this release. The game features segments from each of the four Pirates of the Caribbean movies with a mix of the quirkiness that is found throughout the other LEGO titles and does so while staying true to the canon. The inclusion of Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean seemed like it would be a good fit for the format, and apparently Disney thought it was a good idea as well. Danny: Since last generation, Traveler's Tales has delivered LEGO based titles featuring numerous franchises including Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Batman, Harry Potter, and even Rock Band.
