Some technical issues and a somewhat steep learning curve may unfortunately get in the way of your enjoyment of either the Xbox or PC version of the game, and despite the generally impressive visuals, you'll need to use your imagination to fill in a few blanks as you play. Pirates has all these same elements, giving it a free-form sort of feel that's reminiscent in some ways of Bethesda's own The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. Pirates is actually very similar to Akella's previous effort, Sea Dogs, a 3-year-old PC game that featured open-ended role-playing elements, ship-to-ship combat, swashbuckling, trading, and more. But considering the spotty track record of both movie-licensed and Disney-licensed games, maybe that's a good thing. You'll have to wait until the end of On Stranger Tides, however, to get a siren (whose voice can break glass) and beyond that before you get Blackbeard's sword and the ability to open yet more areas and content.Pirates of the Caribbean from Bethesda Softworks and Russian developer Akella actually has little to do with either the upcoming feature film or the popular Disney amusement park ride of the same name.
The usual Lego rules apply, such as silver objects needing an explosive weapon to get through them. Complete all of these and you'll still only be around 50% of the way through the game.Īs with previous Lego titles, the main appeal is to the "completist" – those willing to go back and explore the huge amount of unlockable content in order to complete all the side challenges and find every collectible. That said, they're generally colourful and witty, and aren't massively essential in order to still enjoy the puzzle-solving/scenery destroying pleasures of the game itself.Ĭomplete one level of the first game – Curse of the Black Pearl – and you'll unlock the other three titles: Dead Man's Chest, At World's End and the new one, On Stranger Tides. It's just that you won't necessarily understand (or remember) the plot details of any of the films from the cut scenes here. is a more-encouraging-than-usual take on the film tie-in. Regardless, launched to coincide with the release of the fourth movie, Lego Pirates. But show me a person who watched the third Pirates movie more than once and I'll show you someone with way too much time on their hands. There are also, one assumes, people who can remember every twist in the increasingly drawn–out Pirates of the Caribbean series, all four of which appear here.
There are, no doubt, people who remember every nuance of everything George Lucas has ever written. There is arguably one small flaw, which is: a) perhaps a very personal one and b) probably the same reason that Clone Wars underwhelmed – a lack of familiarity with the source material. A fter the slight disappointment of Lego Star Wars III: Clone Wars, the brick people (and Traveller's Tales) bounce back in some style.
