If pirates used a Wiimote...

In the annals of movie tie-in games, few titles are worth the discs they're printed on. Only a few are truly noteworthy (Goldeneye 007 and Chronicles of Riddick come to mind). Luckily, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End is not bad. In fact, it's pretty cohesive, but .
Basically, you play a bunch of main characters from the Pirates movies in swashbuckling missions. You use the Wiimote to slash and stab opponents, chaining those actions for combos. You also get knives, pistols and bombs as equipment for those tough spots. The minions tend to attack you in waves of two or three, but you have some boss battles that have you dueling one on one. Occasionally, you'll stumble upon quick time button sequences, but they're pretty infrequent.
Many of the levels play out with one battle after another, which is very repetitive. However, several levels take place in ports where you can complete sub-missions and play pirate dice and poker. These also include quite a bit of repetitive swordplay, but they're much less linear.
This game actually has most of the story from Dead Man's Chest in addition to At World's End, mostly because that title had no game of it's own. Still, it's not all that long, but bonus objectives could cause devoted players to revisit levels. You can also unlock challenge mode and duel a friend. Still, the limited gameplay (keep swinging that Wiimote until your hand gives out, rinse, repeat) will likely have you ending this back quick. It flows well and has a nice flair to it, but it's a lot of flash with little substance.

Here is my new rating method....
Gameplay: Fun
Difficulty: Hard
Graphics: Good
Audio: Good
Controls: Good
Camera: Good
Length: 10hrs
Replay Value: Medium
This title is very good but it is more towards teens and older. It is linear but there are some side missions and it is worth a rental. It follows the 2 movies very well and there is not much bad things to say about it.

So I played this game and there 2 really hard parts.
The first hard part is close to the end but towards the middle.
You have to press the buttons and swing the wiimotes as they show up. Everytime you mess up it starts over completely.
The second hard part is the I think the last level.I have had it about a year and haven't got passed it yet. If you have seen the movie this will be familar to you. Your fight the the crew of Davy Jones' locker. You have a time limit and you switch from both ships and there is lightning, tornatoes.
Do I recomend this game yes but as a rental.
Thanks for reading.

Good (For A Licensed Game)

As many people may know, I despise most licensed games. But this one was actually fun.
Pros
-cool humor
-interesting environments
-swordplay works
-variety of weapons
Cons
-so-so graphics
-enemies guard is practically unbreakable
-high combos are hard to pull off (see above)
It's fun, but it could have been better.
