  1. While it may not have the depth and grandeur some would look for, it has enough character to stand out from the other licensed titles.
  2. Perhaps the best aspect of the game is that you will care a lot about collecting treasure.
  3. At times, the game seems to focus more on mundane wandering around than on interesting pirate activity, but the action picks up as the story progresses. [Sept 2003, p.137]
  4. Exactly like every other cookie-cutter movie/cartoon-licensed platformer.
