Other than the 3 times it locked up on us while playing, we really loved playing this game. Played for 10+ hours (mom and 8-yr-old son) and ended up buying the game

Very fun, love the lego series. I really enjoy that screen splits in two player so that we can wonder away from each other.

I enjoyed the game. It goes threw all four movies, but it is hard to understand the fourth movie. Why make the game before the movie. Other than that the game was great. You'll get a good 10 hours of play by just playing though, much more through for the collectables. Most characters have a sword some have pistals,an axe, or a hammer. I think this game is like a copy of lego Indiana Jones. If you are a hard core Pirates or lego fan get the game. If not rent it. It is very fun with 70 other characters to play as. So why not get it?

LEGO Pirates: Still good, but not very inventive

LEGO is back for another installment of Movie Parody. In this one, the target movies are the Pirates of the Caribbean, including the latest one, On Stranger Tides.
With this version, you fight off pirates with swords and guns, demolish some things and build other objects with the wreckage. You can dig up objects with shovels (or use a dog), repair certain items with the wrench, use Jack’s compass to find hidden objects, roll about in a barrel or fire cannonballs at various targets.
There’s a lot going on here, but most of these things can be found in the other games (Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Batman Harry Potter) This game doesn’t add anything new to the mix while repeating a major problem the others have: the AI in this game is still hard to team up with - you’re better off with two players.
Still, if it isn’t broke, don’t fix it; the same joy I got from playing the other LEGO games, I got from this one. And finding hidden treasures throughout the 20 movie levels and outside those levels gives it shelf life that it badly needs.
LEGO: Pirates of the Caribbean is one game that is definitely worth a rent, and fans of this type of game will probably end up buying it.

Like all the other LEGO games, my kids really enjoyed this (6 and 9). They have a blast playing together. Except for Harry Potter, all the LEGO games have been a real hit. I guess I shouldn't bother renting any more LEGO games and instead just buying them.

In the Lego franchise there is no dying. You simply break apart and repiece back together. This is a great game for all ages. The parody's are excellent, the level layouts are great and not too difficult to figure out how to progress. You can play as all the characters including Jack Sparrow (there's a Captain in there somewhere).

I like the pirates of the caribbean movies and decided to give this game a try, I was not disappointed. This game is like playing the movies only in the lego world. The graphics on this game are great and the worlds are finely detailed with plants animals and people and weapons. The controls are easy to use, walk with the nunchuk fight with the b button and jump with the a button. The problem with the controls is that sometimes the z button doesnt work right when trying to pick things up. Also the levels are a little too short. I would highly recommend this game to fans of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies or fans of the Lego series of games. I look forward to more pirates of the caribbean and other lego games.

Another great installment to the LEGO series...hours and hours of fun, fighting the british and pirates and fish people. Nothing new but who needs new when the games are so much fun. What movies will they do next?

Good game but...

Definitely a good average game (7.5). For those who are not used to team work this is a good challenge. The screen breaking and rotation on its own is very clever. Then again, if you are not familiar with the Lego series you will find it, probably, very strange.
As far as the playability it can have some improvement however it’s still very good (8 of 10).
But the biggest “down” of this game are the graphics… Nintendo needs to improve (a lot) in this field. On this particularly game a lot of the action is played night time and if the graphics are ok during day time (8 of 10) when you change and play a night mission it becomes terrible (5 of 10)… Now a day’s all the game entertaining systems are minimum “HD” capable (PS3 and Xbox360) and maybe it’s time for Nintendo to think about and make some changes.
I own all the 3 major game entertaining systems and this particularly game, Lego Pirates of the Caribbean, is a plus on PS3 and Xbox360.
If this game is supposedly to be more for teenagers and under, and if Nintendo is the leader (supposedly) for this type of market, therefore Nintendo needs to step up and make it better. Thank you anyway, it was a lot of fun to play!

Lego Pirates not that good

I was excitied to play Lego Pirates because i had played the other Lego games and loved them, but this game was full of glitches and half way through the game it started locking up. I sent it back as a damaged disc and got another one and it locked up in the same spot. I tried other games on my Wii so it wasnt my Wii cause those all worked fine. But overall the game wasnt good, to many glitches and if your not playing 2 player, the other characters are kinda lost for a minute and then realize they need to do something. Also some levels are extremely tough to figure out or beat and get True Pirate. I say stay away from this one cause its not worth your time.

We couldn't play the game, but got this error instead. "An error has occurred. Press the eject button, remove the disc, and turn off the power to the console. Please read the Wii operations manual for further instruction." We tried three times but got the same error message.

The only reason I rated this game a 6 is because it kept freezing up on me in the middle of playing. Other than that it was a really good game. I am going to buy this game soon.
