    This game is horrendous. A password-based save system? I thought we were searching for treasure, not lost progress. Poor gameplay. An This game is horrendous. A password-based save system? I thought we were searching for treasure, not lost progress. Poor gameplay. An unbelievably poor representation of Jack Sparrow, as a bald-headed, naive, uncertain apprentice.
