I never knew that the LEGO franchise would be sailing into the Pirates of the Caribbean world. The game has the similar elements of all the other LEGO games. This game however, has improved in terms of graphics and interaction. The characters have the same likeness as they do in the movies. Jack Sparrow moves like he is off balance at all times, like he is suppose to. This game makes the Pirates movies fun for all ages and I have enjoyed playing it! This is the best LEGO game to date!

Graphics are clean and crisp, but nothing to make you want to play this on a PS3 over a Wii. But, it's a Lego game: you're picking this up to have fun, not to worship the graphics.

Yes, the game is a little buggy, freezing up from time to time. It's nothing too major. Remember, this is a Lego game: you're picking this up to have fun, not complain about the occasional freeze up.

I don't remember 2 of the 4 movies, but that doesn't matter (but the lack of dialogue makes figuring out what's going on a little weird). You're picking this up to have fun, not save on the cost of some movie rentals.

This game truly pays great homage to the universe created by the game and the ride, reminding you that you picked this game up to have fun.

Just the other Lego title, Pirates is highly enjoyable and has a high replay value. I really did not find anything wrong with this game and was actually surprised when it featured "On stranger tides" before the movie itself even came out. This game is most definitely fit for all ages. I look forward to the next Lego title.

My daughter and I have had a blast playing this game. It has all the movies in it and seems to have better graphics than past Lego games. Captain Jack Sparrow even has his trademark walk when using his character. Great game and recommended to all.

First off if you love Lego games and Pirates of the Caribbean you're going to love this. The puzzle solving mixed with the humorous Lego presentation of the stories is an excellent combination. One way they made the interface better is by allowing you to hold triangle (PS3) to select your character, versus having to face the character you want and often shift to the wrong one, and in "Free Play" you can choose from every character you have collected, not just the few you start a level with. I play this with both my son and daughter, and we absolutely love it. It's fun for them to be their favorite characters, while I enjoy the challenge in the puzzle solving, to both complete the levels, and find the hidden mini-kits, and compass items. I own every Lego game produced to date, and can say that while each is unique in its own rite, this is the most amazing yet.

It's good for a while. After collecting enough studs to buy all the red hats and extra characters, there are plenty of minikits and compass treasures to obtain in free play. It follows the movies pretty close, but since it's LEGOS it gives off more of a goofy vibe that makes for lighthearted play. The two player split-screen bothered me. It kept bouncing all over the place and I would not recommend it for someone who, like me, gets motion sickness. Or you could keep a bucket nearby. Aside from the screen looking drunken and wobbling between diagonal, vertical, horizontal, and everywhere in between, two player gave the advantage of having another non-AI player to help with puzzles. Overall, not for serious gamers, but a fun distraction.

Basically if you have ever played a Lego game, you know what to expect here. Same lego experience, only this time with a Pirates twist. It is very fun and if you like the lego games then get this game. But if you are sick of the lego games then you will tire of this game pretty quick.

Better graphics, same old gameplay

"LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean" is the best looking game in the series. The water effects are terrific, the environments well detailed, and the main characters move like their movie counterparts. Captain Jack Sparrow's characteristic stagger is especially well captured. But good looks aren't enough to carry a game. This latest LEGO game carries with it much of the same gameplay that's the trademark of the series- there's some platforming, simple combat, and puzzle solving to be found throughout the game's twenty stages (five stages apiece for each of the Pirates movies, including the new one "On Stranger Tides"). Those work as well as they did in the last LEGO game, and are adequate to get you through the levels and provide some fun in doing so. Sadly, the same old problems are present as well. The camera can be unhelpful at times, and it can be puzzling (No pun intended) to figure out how to proceed. False clues are sometimes present , and it can lead to unnecessary running in circles til you figure out what to do. The hub world seems a step back, especially after the awesome hub in LEGO SW: The Clone Wars. You can eventually open things up once you gain enough gold bricks, but it's still not very compelling. As always, there is plenty to collect, so you will get your money's worth, provided you don't get bored with things. The hallmark of the series, its quirky sense of humor, is happily here in spades, and the game makes great use of Hans Zimmer's great musical score from the movies. As always, co-op locally with a friend makes life easier. There is no online play, which may be a minus for some. If you enjoyed past LEGO titles, give this one at least a rent. Enjoy!

I've played the Lego Starwars games before, and really enjoyed them. It's amazing to me how much life the game creators can breathe into what are, essentially, pieces of plastic, especially with no direct dialogue.

The issue I had with Pirates was a few design flaws and major glitches, at least with the copy I received.

The only real design flaw I found was switching between characters. That's actually quite a compliment, because this was a MINOR flaw that was more frustrating than anything else. Just easier to hold down the triangle than to try to quick-switch, because I never seemed to get the right character if I had a party of more than 2.

The MAJOR problem I had was the glitches/freezing in the 4th movie. I actually didn't even finish it because it kept freezing...every level had at least one freeze-up or some other glitch.

That said, it was an enjoyable experience...worth the rental, and who knows...maybe it was just my disk that was messed up.

Overall this game was fun to play. It plays pretty much like the other Lego games with lots of collectibles and characters. This game is an easy platinum trophy if you're willing to put in the hours (about 25 or so).

The one problem I had with the game is that it did glitch and freeze up a lot especially when I had multiple EXTRAS turned on. If it wasn't for the glitching I would have given this game an 8. I recommend this game but be careful how many extras you have turned on at once or you could be starting a lot of levels over again.

Lego Pirates of the Caribbean is a great game! It didn't disappoint me one bit. It is like any other Lego game, yet it is extraordinarily better. I would recommend this game because it provides many hours of gameplay!

This game is simply awesome! The only problem I had was because I was trying to get my platinum trophy but I had to go through EVERY SINGLE LEVEL OVER AGAIN and after getting to the second act of my second playthrough I said this is taking too long and kinda repetitive, not to mention I had to do some levels 3 times because I missed something even though I had all the item locator cheats activated but other than that, great game, they should make lego lord of the rings

Lego: Pirates - Most Likely Game to Freeze

I gave this game a 2 out of 10.I have been playing this game off and on for days and although the game is great it has a lot of glitches. It freezes OFTEN in a level and all progress is lost once the game is turned off and back on. There is also this loop issue where the game is almost frozen but the next event will not occur and therefore does not trigger the next event to continue through the level. I love the Lego games but this is one is by far the most frustrating when it comes to gameplay issues and freezing. Avoid if you like to throw controllers. I am glad I did not buy the game. It is too frustrating to lose that much game time played and data lost. It is going back in the envelope and back to Gamefly. I will never play this game again.

this game is horrible. its very very glitchy. freezes all the time. this game to me feels like ity was rushed and the makers did not put any planning into the game once it was finished. it needs patched badly. all out horrible game. i do not recommend this to buy nor rent unless you like crapping games that glitch in almost every level to where you have to restart and play the level again and hope it dont happen for a second time just to beat it.
