3.0 out of 5 stars Nothing Like The Movie Starring Johnny Depp, But Still Fun!, November 25, 2003

I was hoping that this action/adventure game would be based on the blockbuster film version that starred Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush, but I was greatly dissapointed. It's a bit silly and I'm still getting used to my new GBA that I got for my B-Day yesterday, but I know Video Games quite well. I'm still getting used to this mini game system as I said before, I'm so used to my Ps2, but the GBA doesn't let you down however! Although this game is cartoonish and cheesy and made for 8 and under, this 22 year old still finds it quite enjoyable when I'm bored. If you are expecting some awesome, eye popping adventure game then save your money and get it for PS2 instead. But if you just want some mindless, easy, cute fun while travelling or while waiting to catch a bus...then get this game, it's pretty cute!

I got this game for Christmas, because my friend knew how much I loved the movie. This game is pretty much true to it's plot with some new characters and twists. But basically, this game has a little over twenty semi-challenging missions, which you eventually complete and the game ends.
In between, you will do things like fight town soldiers, fight pirates, fight Spanish soliders, fight fat pirates, fight hoardes of orange crabs, and fight dead pirates. This all culminates into more and more fighting which leads to the Ultimate Fight with Captain Barbossa. And then it all ends rather suddenly.
The game had a lot more potential than this I think, especially in terms of character development. But basically, you run, fight, and run some more. You DO get a ship and get to have some exciting overseas battles, which makes a lovely change.

Also, this game has no real 'save game' feature which means you will have to write down passwords in between levels. I had to redo the first eight levels of this game 4 times because I kept losing my passwords. Erf.
