LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game is an action adventure game bringing to life the Pirates of the Caribbean world and all its colourful characters in LEGO brick form.

Review by IGN

“LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean is an absolute blast for fans of either franchise. Its gameplay is simple to learn and incredibly addicting. You’ll no doubt spend dozens of hours trying to collect everything you can, and the fact that all four movies are present keeps the pacing of the game from dragging too much. You’ll find yourself reliving many classic moments in short order…” 7.5/10

IGN RATINGS FOR LEGO PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE VIDEO GAME (WII)
7.5 Presentation
The developers did a very effective job recapping big stories in a big world.
7.5 Graphics
Not earth-shattering, but decent for what it’s trying to do.
8.5 Sound
Minimalist but effective sound effects and voices. Badass Hans Zimmer music is here.
7.0 Gameplay
Incredibly addicting but not without some obtuse, frustrating moments. Can I play online, though?
6.5 Lasting Appeal
You’ll be collecting things forever. Where’s my online?
