There are two to three games that I will buy without having played every year. Pirates is not one of them.
I cannot stress the importance of renting enough to my fellow gamers out there. But for those of you that take the plunge and pick up this product, may your short-lived enjoyment serve as a reminder.
The graphics are mediocre for a game on a system like the PS3. There's a buncha horses under that hood and they certainly aren't being taxed by this. Gameplay itself is weak, uninteresting and repetitive. "Punch like this, swing your sword like that, jump like a goof by doing the other thing"...fun stuff if you're trading in your NES and stepping up, a regular yawner if you left Super Mario behind in the Eighties. Camera angles quickly become annoying, enemy AI is suspect at best, the dueling is...well...dull.
To give credit where credit is due, the cut scenes are nice. Umm...yeah, those cut scenes really can make a game worth ownin...no they can't.
There are going to be another two hundred games just like this one in the coming year. Games that have enormous potential and simply fail to deliver. If you love the movies and absolutely must play this game save yourself the sixty and just rent it...it will be one of the few you'll have returned well before the due date.

Pirates of the Caribbean is suprisingly good and better than your average movie game. You play as Jack, Will, and Elizabeth through different levels with swords, daggers, guns, and even bombs. The graphics are stunning with the PS3 graphics engine, and the environments fit the mood. You will have fun punching the bad guys and swashbuckling the bad pirates. The only things wrong with the game are that the controls are very awkward when you first begin to play. Also, the game has a weird camera even though you control it. Overall, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End is a fun game for PS3 owners and is a must have for fans of the movie.
 Excellent! June 7, 2007

This Game Was one Of the best Games I have ever played! Not only do you play as Jack Sparrow, But a lot of other characters are available to play as too. There are cool duel-type things every once in a while in the game, which, even though they can be hard, they contribute to the game. If you are planning on buying this and have a PS3, buy it! You wont be disappointed!
Fun: 5/5
Music: 5/5
Interactivity: 5/5
Style: 5/5
Graphics: 5/5
Overall: 5/5

Graphics: Very good (still not sure what "Next-Gen" is supposed to be, but I don't think this is it). The scenery/environment is especially well done.
Gameplay: Good. Different puzzles to solve, things to find, skills to acquire. Nothing new here, though.
Music, sounds: Very good. This captures the Pirate motif.
A Really Awesome Game...Really! December 8, 2007

I would have been the first to be critical of a movie-based game, but I've got to say that "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" is all kinds of fun.
The gameplay is unique and captivating. Mostly you play Jack Sparrow, but occasionally you'll come across scenarios where you may become the other characters as well (unless you're satisfied with their programmatic behavior) by cycling through characters with the left control pad and taking control of that character - you keep your eye on how they're all doing healthwise and if someone looks like they're wearing out, you want to switch to them, earn a special move then use it in hopes of more health shooting out of your fallen opponent.
The levels are very well done - the rainy surfaces are great. The characters are fantastic. The musical score is great. Sound effects are excellent. The "puzzles" that you come across can be easily figured out if your paying attention, but they're not so hard that you would get to a point of not wanting to bother with it anymore - the game remains comfortably enjoyable.
There's plenty of variety in scenery, special moves, hidden treasures and characters to battle with. The sword battles are a nice challenge and there are certain bonus battle features that pop up on occasion.
Characters are large and well detailed...many different ones may occupy the screen at any given moment, giving a nice, somewhat "epic" feel. I really enjoyed defending the ship as enemies make their way on board. I enjoy the firing of cannons, the knife throwing, the grenade lobbing, taking souls with the "Jackanized" sword, walking across beams using sixaxis to stay balanced, and I especially enjoyed scaling the walls and cliffsides.
There are all sorts of fun things about this game and I've played it beginning to end. You can choose "extras" at the main menu if you want to go back and earn a better ranking on any of the levels you've already completed, or if you'd like to unlock one of the special treasure chests that you may have missed the first time around - these open up cool "special features" such as artwork, character meshes, music and much more that you can also explore on the "extras" menu.
This is an awesome game! It's a bit more violent than the films, though. The graphics - although not in the highest possible resolution - are truly incredible. They're lifelike in a video game kind of way - not the highest resolution, but high resolution enough and there are plenty of outstanding special effects, too!
I highly recommend this game, especially now that it's dropped down to $40! It is worth it and could stand on its own as a game without the movie tie-in...but it is a movie game, so enjoy it anyway! I loved it!
