My 10 year old son loves this game. We purchased it for the Nintendo Wii the day it came out since he had waited anxiously for it's release.

In the beginning you start out in the game just as the 1st of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies starts out. You begin playing as Will, in your blacksmith shop making swords. Suddenly Captain Jack Sparrow (Lego version of course) appears and you begin to duel with swords. Each time you accomplish something in the game, or you complete a level, you watch part of the Lego version of the movie. You are actually watching the entire Pirates of the Caribbean movie done with Lego characters.

After you have completed certain areas of the game, Jack is then added to your character wheel of people you can play as in the game. As you go along, more and more characters are added to the wheel.

We are really enjoying the game a lot, but there have been quite a few glitches and some freezing. The glitches are easy to ignore, drop out the character and get past, but the freezing is getting a little annoying, and now very frustrating. There have been at least 4 random freezes for us where we have had to unplug the wii and now three times in a row it has frozen at the same spot while trying to defeat Blackbeard on the last level. This is extreamely frustrating for my kids. I have tried looking it up online and found others with the same freezing problems, although some people having no problems at all. I am a little dissapointed especially because it is a very fun game to play. If it wasn't for the freezing, I would give the game 5 stars.

Excellent addition to the Lego Universe. Everything about this games is wonderful: music, visuals, and gameplay. Each character has his/her own way of moving about. Jack Sparrow is hilarious. Controls for this game have been perfected. Selection of characters within the game is very simple. If you love the Pirates movies and love Lego's, this is a no brainer.
