 A Really Awesome Game...Really! December 8, 2007
John P. Sullivan (Roseville, CA)
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!
 Movie Game 'nough Said December 26, 2007
Shawna L. Theos (Minot, North Dakota)
It's a typical movie game here the developer spent all there time trying to match the movie, and not creating good gameplay. You have like two attack moves and that's it. so have fun pushing one button the whole game.
Graphics stink and so do the controls April 11, 2008

Don't waste your money. Buy this used. I was so fed up with the crappy controls on this game, I just stopped playing it and went back to GTA4 and COD4.
