Shiver me timbers, it's more Pirates of the Caribbean from Disney - lining up on every conceivable platform to go hand-in-hand with the new film in May.
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End will be cobbled together for PS3, Xbox 360, PC, Wii, PS2 and PSP by Eurocom, whilst Amaze will handle the DS version. They're all due out on 25th May, and are promised to unlock the salty seaman in all of us.
It's familiar turf again, as you reprise your role as Jack Sparrow, Will Turner, or Elizabeth Swann, embarking on a fantasy voyage to the ends of the earth, uncovering all sorts of nautical nasties along the way.
Disney promises that each platform will boast a individually tailored experience, as well as a dynamic duelling system you'll need to use to outwit your scurvy foes - replicating real action on Wii with swinging and thrusting motions.
"With the action, excitement, unforgettable characters and expansive locations from the blockbuster films, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End will be the definitive 'Pirates' videogame experience for fans," said Craig Relyea, vice president of marketing, Disney Interactive Studios. "Our games go beyond the films to introduce legendary pirates, new locations and unique endings that will satisfy the pirate in each of us."
Unfortunately the last two games in the series have been entirely forgettable, so we wouldn't advise you to hold your breath.

The game is more or less destined to be completely shite. I hope that the movie is better than the dodgy second one. |

"poo"? a little harsh.
wasn't as good as the first but it had some good setpieces. the hamster wheel, the hanging globe prisons, the final monster assualt... kept me entertained. |

I'm playing through the first PoTC game on the PC at the moment, and its a complete disaster. I'm actually enjoying it and think it has some redeeming qualities, but as a film tie-in its does absolutely nothing right. The sort of people who buy a PoTC game are probably looking for a fast paced, humorous, family-fun romp. Instead they get an RPG with some of the wierdest controls possible and no explanation as to what they should do in the game or how they should do it. Once your brief tutorial section is over you're dropped in the ocean on a boat you've not been taught how to sail, under constant threat of being sunk in the first few moments by a pirate ship, a passing storm, or the port you've just sailed up to's cannons because you get no indication it belongs to your new enemies the French. Oh and after that happens you have to redo the intro, because you hadn't though to save yet and there are no checkpoints. Glorious.
I suppose thats what happens when you try and tack a movie name onto a random Russian-made pirate RPG sequel rather than develop it as a film license from the start. It's no wonder the developer's "sequel" Age of Pirates: Caribbean Tales doesn't share the same name.

I don't want setpieces, this isn't WWE. I want an entertaining story with interesting characters and a thrilling plot, which is what I got with the first film. POTC 2 was just aimless wandering about with action scenes and supposedly witty lines inserted at random. There wasn't anything coherent about it at all, it's like they wrote the script by drawing scenes out of a hat. And did they really have to do the kraken three times? |
