I think this year we are being spoilt for Lego games, barely a month ago we had the new Star Wars Clones Wars and now Pirates of the Caribbean (also got the second Harry Potter by the end of the year).So this time we are jumping into all four films of the Pirates of the Caribbean series and I got to say it's spot on. I loved every minute of this game, they got Jack Sparrow perfect especially with his trade mark run and got to love when he accidentally hits a female character and gets slapped for it.
There are few new changes which are pretty sweet, first off by holding down Y or Triangle you can select any character you have unlocked (in the hub or free play) which I found great. Saved me so much time from having to keep running to a station to change characters. Of course there a few things changed just for this game, instead of red bricks you got red hats, liked that touch. Also for collectibles you got ships in a bottle (instead of mini kits) and Jacks compass, now this was a very nice touch. Basically using a jack character you could use his famous compass to find several treasure items on each level, the items can only be found in certain areas. When you in that area you can select it with the compass there a tree map line will appear on the floor which you follow until you find the X. I loved that, its just a quick simple collectible thrown in but it was really cool.
The only downside I found the game quicker to finish, but since I've played all the Lego games I can understand it would be quicker since I know what I'm doing. According to Raptr.com it only took me 20 hours where the rest usually take me 30+.
So overall I would give it full scores! I recommend this game to anyone who loves Lego, Pirates of the Caribbean, wants a easy 1,000 gamerscore/platinum trophy. Hell its a fun game, just go play it and you won't regret it.
