AceGamezA wonderful surprise for GBA owners and fans of the film looking to take the experience home.
-
Although the naval battles are by far more exciting, the sidescrolling stuff is still fun. If you're interested in the film, the game is worth a pickup.

Nintendo PowerRegardless, it's nice to see that game makers haven't stuffed the GBA into Davy Jone's locker just yet, and that some developers still know that a big-name franchise isn't an excuse to make a half-baked game. [Aug 2006, p.85]
-
The side scrolling sections aren't horribly difficult and you'll find yourself doing a fair amount of button mashing and the sea battles are a bit lacking when compared to games like Pirates!, but the whole package comes together quite nicely, even with those minor issues.
-
It's actually a decent clone of Castlevania gameplay mixed with good ship combat.
-
One of the better license games we've played, and one of the best license games of the summer.
-
Intriguing nautical elements aren't enough to distract from a criminally short running time and rote 2D platforming elements.
-
Tries to do a lot of things and wind up not doing very many of them well. It's a good effort but you can find a lot of better titles out there.
