About what you'd expect from a movie based game
Every once in a while a video game based on a movie comes out and it turns out to be a great game. But most of the time movie based games are full of generic and uninteresting gameplay and seem to do little more than plug the movie they're based upon. This is one of those games, pretty standard fare and just like the myriad of movie games you've played before, only this time it's Johnny Depp's likeness and not that of some other Hollywood heartthrob.
In the interest of fairness this game is not a total waste, though it's close. The combat is amusing for a minute or two, mostly because Jack (that's who you begin the game as) has some pretty cool animated counterattacks. But it gets tedious fast, and pretty soon you're just mashing buttons in between yawns as you fend off another generic group of enemies.
This game does have a 2 player co op mode, but from what I can tell you can only play a mission in co op if you've already completed it alone (this may change later in the game). Pirates also features a system of dueling, which is as dull as the regular combat option. I've only played the PS3 version of this game, but I assume the game was made to play on previous generation consoles like the PS2 and then just released as is on the PS3 as well, because the graphics, while not bad, just don't seem worthy of the Playstation 3.
In short, At World's End is just another generic video game based on a movie. If you're really a Pirates fan I guess you could rent it--I doubt the game would hold your interest longer than the rental period anyway.
Standard "It's a Movie and Now a Video Game!"
There are two to three games that I will buy without having played every year. Pirates is not one of them.
I cannot stress the importance of renting enough to my fellow gamers out there. But for those of you that take the plunge and pick up this product, may your short-lived enjoyment serve as a reminder.
The graphics are mediocre for a game on a system like the PS3. There's a buncha horses under that hood and they certainly aren't being taxed by this. Gameplay itself is weak, uninteresting and repetitive. "Punch like this, swing your sword like that, jump like a goof by doing the other thing"...fun stuff if you're trading in your NES and stepping up, a regular yawner if you left Super Mario behind in the Eighties. Camera angles quickly become annoying, enemy AI is suspect at best, the dueling is...well...dull.
To give credit where credit is due, the cut scenes are nice. Umm...yeah, those cut scenes really can make a game worth ownin...no they can't.
There are going to be another two hundred games just like this one in the coming year. Games that have enormous potential and simply fail to deliver. If you love the movies and absolutely must play this game save yourself the sixty and just rent it...it will be one of the few you'll have returned well before the due date.
Actually Good
Pirates of the Caribbean is suprisingly good and better than your average movie game. You play as Jack, Will, and Elizabeth through different levels with swords, daggers, guns, and even bombs. The graphics are stunning with the PS3 graphics engine, and the environments fit the mood. You will have fun punching the bad guys and swashbuckling the bad pirates. The only things wrong with the game are that the controls are very awkward when you first begin to play. Also, the game has a weird camera even though you control it. Overall, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End is a fun game for PS3 owners and is a must have for fans of the movie.
