A short single-player mode makes the 1,000 Wii Points price tag a little on the high side, but the multi-player mode makes up for it. A solid start into what will hopefully be a long lasting franchise.
There just isn't enough to this title to make it worth 1000 points, and if you need a frenzied shooter fix, you could do a whole lot better than Pirates: The Key of Dreams.

The game looks good and holds promise, but that promise is never kept – single player just drags on and on with very little challenge, and multiplayer just doesn’t have enough to it to extend it beyond a short diversion. And that’s only if you have three buddies to play with you.
Zack and Wiki remain the only pirates worth dealing with on Wii. [Oct 2008, p.84]
Ironically, KoD sums itself up in its own lacklustre ‘Yar’ sound effect, which becomes annoying from the very start. That’s just what Pirates: KoD is; lacklustre.
