    Well, since I am a great fan of the movie "Pirates Of The Caribbean" ( from mow on POTC ), news of the PSP game set in the universe of the POTC made me extatic. But not for long... Dead Man's Chest feels very much unfinished. Why? Well, first of all, you can see through textures, camera is not precise and it sticks every time in a corner where you can't see the horde of enemies Well, since I am a great fan of the movie "Pirates Of The Caribbean" ( from mow on POTC ), news of the PSP game set in the universe of the POTC made me extatic. But not for long... Dead Man's Chest feels very much unfinished. Why? Well, first of all, you can see through textures, camera is not precise and it sticks every time in a corner where you can't see the horde of enemies coming to you, every enemy, from pirates to natives, fights absolutely the same, graphics could be better, although they are a bit on the colorful side, and the only bright spot is Jack Sparrow himself ( Voiceover and animation ). Voiceovers are great, but only of the main characters, others are repetitive beyond normal standards. This game just goes to prove that games made by movies suck, albeit few others. Oh, I almost forgot, yopu will not see even a scene from the movie because every animation is made with the in game engine. In conclusion, there are many other games out there worth your money, but this one is not. Only for the hardcore fans of the POTC universe.… Expand

    The multiplayer portion of this game is absolutely fantastic! The action is fast paced and "Plunder the Flag" is incredibly fun with four players. The full game works over gameshare, so you can play a four player game with only one copy of the game! (IF you can find 3 other people with PSPs) The single player is good, too, with challenging puzzles and Johnny Depp really shines through in The multiplayer portion of this game is absolutely fantastic!

The enemies were unique and offer a glimpse into what the movie will have to offer, and the end boss battle was awesome! The graphics work really well for the game and you find yourself getting emerged in the game play a lot.… Expand

    While the sword-slashing provies a bit of fun, glitchy graphics and repetitive action sever any lasting appeal. [Sept 2006, p.68]

    The multi-player will amuse you for a while, if you've got the patience to load it, but otherwise you'd be better off getting soused on rum. [Issue 143, p.88]

    Like a waterlogged corpse afloat in a handheld sea, Jack Sparrow's PSP adventure stinks. [Sept. 2006, p.100]
