    It is a fun game, but it will become very boring if you are playing alone. I think personally this game is much better when playing CO-OP mode. There are many levels to play, but when playing story mode you must skip many of secrets/puzzles and come back later when you have all the characters you need. These kind of secrets and puzzles are frustrating me.

    I recommend this game if you have a friend to play with and like these "comebacklater-parts".    … Expand

    LEGO Pirates tells the story of the first 4 pirates of the Caribbean movies and is hands down the most boring lego game I’ve ever played
    I’m a decent fan of the pirates movies.. I enjoy their stories and characters…
    what I’m not a fan of however is lego games…
    but at least past lego games have been a little engaging...
    This one is just a bunch of boring chores…
    like every lego game you control multiple characters at once…
    and you can play local co-op…
    break things to build things and collect studs…
    LEGO pirates though is more about finding than it is building though…
    Specifically when you have jack sparrow in your crew as he has a compass that will take you to an item you need to bring to someone else to get them to join your crew or pick up and place somewhere on the map to continue the story..
    This monotonous item hunting is the entire game…
    its 8 and a half hours of boring finding items and trading items…
    There are a few short lived fun moments in the game that I feel should’ve been used more like rolling around in a ball cage or using the underwater barrels…
    but these moments make up a grand total of about 5 minutes…
    the rest of the game is aimlessly breaking things or throwing items at targets while a bunch of annoying enemies slash at you…
    there are boss battles here too.. Also boring…
    chasing characters around a map and mashing the attack button while your crew pretends to be helping... but they’re not...
    they’re useless throughout the entire game…
    they won’t pull switches, they won’t stay in positions you place them…
    it’s annoying having to manage them in moments you need them to stay still..
    Of course I’m thankful for them following me during the few platforming sections and I need their skill to repair something or I need their saber to pull a lever and they’re right there...
    but this game definitely needed an option of making a character stay put…
    I would’ve thought that maybe this game could’ve been saved by the story and charm of the characters.. But this isn’t the case either as the story telling was awful too… I had no idea what was going on... and again... I’ve seen the movies…
    LEGO pirates of the Caribbean is the weakest lego game I’ve played to date…
    I’m waiting for one to change my mind…
    but this wasn’t it..

    Lego Pirates Of The Caribbean’s is another lego game in the series, it has the same gameplay as others lego games as well. But what is different is that it allows you to play more than 2 characters and it’s really fun because it makes the puzzles more tricky and fun. However the character roster is whatever, it would’ve been cooler if they made some of them more unique but it’s fine atLego Pirates Of The Caribbean’s is another lego game in the series, it has the same gameplay as others lego games as well.

However the character roster is whatever, it would’ve been cooler if they made some of them more unique but it’s fine at least there is some that are fun to use. The hub era is nice and it has mini games! The levels are bland at times, and sometimes are a blast because your in a pirate world so expect the unexpected. Overall the game is fun and but I wish if it had a bigger hub era and more uniqueness to the game. (3/5 Good Give It A Try)… Expand

    Another "hilarious" parody of a blockbuster designed to manipulate children into nagging their parents into buying them more Lego. For everyone else it's a typically slick but joyless collect 'em up.

    The gameplay is exactly what you've come to expect from a LEGO game, but the graphics look better than any LEGO game before. The issue is more a matter of the franchise it's tied to, which isn't as memorable or charming as the other movies with LEGO tie-ins and thus doesn't provide the same number of memorable levels, scenes or characters.

    Legos are a infinite fountain of ideas. Now the game franchise extends it's tentacles around pirates. Jerry Bruckheimer's crown jewel is a fitting platform for Lego license and this game requires more wits than button mashing abilities. [May 2011]

    With strong production values, great visuals and an excellent audio score to back it all up, LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean is easily one of the best efforts in the franchise to date. No, it's not perfect, but the game has strong appeal across the board. It's also one of the few cases where a licensed game is better than the movie on which it is based.
