Pirates of the Caribbean: The Legend of Jack Sparrow is defenitely not on the top of the Action/Adventure genre list, but it isn't at the bottom either. With superb voice acting (courtesty of Johnny Depp) and an exceptional storyline, Pirates still has a lot to offer. Although Johnny Depp was the only actor to lend his/her voice, the other characters' voices aren't all that far off from their original. The biggest problem with this, is that while the voices are great, the character models and fluidity just don't match. Also, after you enjoy cool cut scenes with said voice overs, you're back to the same repetative hack and slash routine. It gets pretty mundane. There are, of course, other elements to be had though. The use of mini quests and action sequences adds a certain flair that would have been sorely missed. The combat although repetative, does indeed have a few good moments. Upgrading being one of them. Moments to enjoy... and moments to wish you had a |

Plot/Story. Having Jack Sparrow recount the tales in his typical fashion are funny at times and put a new spin on the Pirates story.

Not overly abundant with drinking and violence, it still would seem necessary to allow only teenagers to play this game. |
