  • Summary: A sequel to the original Pirates of the Caribbean, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Legend of Jack Sparrow features a blend of fast-paced action and adventure that captures the entertaining characters, settings, and spirit of the first movie. Piracy, smuggling, buried treasure (not to mention kidnapping, sword fighting looting, pilfering, and other acts of villainy)...what's not to love about Captain Jack Sparrow? Jack Sparrow is the ultimate video game character - with his cocky swagger and his offbeat personality - and players are be able to experience his adventures first hand in this action game. Gamers slash and hack their way through a dozen locations, with fully interactive levels and varied gameplay. The action takes place in a variety of lush, immersive settings, including burning buildings, wrecked ships, and misty moonlit caves. The gameplay experience finds gamers fighting hordes of their enemies one minute, while in the next they're evading capture by the Royal Navy. Gamers learn new moves and combos as the game progresses, allowing even more spectacular, and deadly attacks during combat. [Bethesda Softworks]… Expand

    LOJS is such an unapologetic console port that the enclosed instructions on keyboard commands elicit more of a sense of amusement--how sweet of them to pretend this is useful!--than education. [Nov. 2006, p.116]

    A pretty standard hack-and-slash action game that doesn't deliver on much of the stumblingly bombastic charm of its title character.

    Don't even bother with the PC version. The control scheme is miserable, the key mappings are confusing, and nobody told the team who ported it from the PlayStation that PCs don't have a "left analog stick."

    I found the dialogue amusing, and the assorted bugs made the game a genuine challenge - having my sword vanish from my hand during a critical boss-fight (not to mention a virtual inability to climb stairs/ramps) were, I'm sorry to say, the highlights of the game's challenge. The end battles are anti-climactic at best, since the most difficult one (Blacksmoke James) appears about 3/4 of the way through (half of that difficulty caused by lag from the smoke particles), and everything else is just hack and slash. The final battle with Barbosa stops being fun about half way through the fight - it's not that challenging, just too darn long! This game has definitely lowered the chance of my purchasing another game from this company - too many bugs, poorly thought out, character rendering that looks like it's from the early 90's - what's not to love?… Expand
