    It looks decent for a PS2 title, and it has a few good ideas, but as a whole, it's a disappointing action platform game with few ideas of its own.

    This title’s one saving grace is its 20 dollar price tag, but even at 20 dollars I’d still rather walk the plank then play this game.

    Regardless of your enthusiasm for swashbucklery, there's just no reason for this cheap attempt to cash in on Pirates of the Caribbean.

    Most of the adventure is spent exploring the ruins on a desert island while fighting monkeys and other pirates, and it’s not a terrible idea for a game it’s just so poorly executed that it’s impossible to recommend, even at a budget price.

    Strip Prince of Persia of its tight gameplay elements and insert every pirate cliche known to man and graphics circa 1999, and you end up with Black Buccaneer. The only thing keeping this game from a 1 is the fact that it's a $20 budget title. Even then, you could probably get any of the Prince of Persia series for that price now (or less), so this game's existence is irrelevant. Avoid at all costs.… Expand
