Pirates Plund-Arrr for Wii Reviews by Gamers

I rented this for my 6 year old grandson and he was disappointed he said it was stupid and to narrow you just walk and jump and fighting was to one sided no fun.

So this isn't quite Castle Crashers but it could have been. This COULD have been a really awesome game. First thing I noticed loading up the game. Lag lag freezing lag glitch loading screens unfair. That sums up this entire game. First couple of minutes playing each level the game lags and freezes up briefly but very often. The controls are incredibly laggy and when you press a button either the game won't respond or it takes a bit. The loading screens can be pretty long as though it's loading the entire level before it lets you play and it sounds like the Wii is having a seizure. Also enemies could hit you without being right next to you. The game even throws boulders at you if you don't keep moving. Collecting extra health too long? BOULDERS now you just lost 5 points of health for each one and 4 hit you.

The difficulty is completely unfair. Enemies are way stronger than you and when they gang up you die quickly. You start out the game at such a weak level that you can easily die on the first level and I did. The guys you can choose from are completely unbalanced. They are supposed to have different strengths but they are all basically the same with different offsets. The yellow guy was pathetic but the red one was really fast and stronger. It didn't make sense.

The upgrades and weapons were cool. Everything about the game seemed spot on it was just so busted and it was too difficult. The other problem is you don't have your own account so anyone who plays the yellow guy gets the yellow guy money and levels. So if you change characters or if a friend comes over to play, you could be level 20 and they are level 1. They won't survive anything past the first couple levels. This game is just so badly executed it flat out sucks.
