#Lego pirates of the caribbean reviews series

We have 20 red hats to collect in the Hub area (in this game it is a lovely dock side mooring complete with a beach, a jeti and a lighthouse), we have 85 gold bricks to collect throughout the game (earnt by completing a level, obtaining True Pirate status, finding every compass item and every minikit on each level), we have 8 compass items per level that can only be found by Captain Jack Sparrow’s special compass ability and finally we have ten “ships in a bottle” (also known throughout the series as “mini-kits). It wouldn’t be a LEGO game without them, and as is the norm now there is a lot. When in Freeplay anything goes - you can select any character that you’ve unlocked previously and then utilise their special abilities to access secret areas and collectibles. But its only once you have completed a level in story mode that the freedom of the Lego series comes into play, with the aptly titled Freeplay mode. It is then you are set into the level in story mode, playing through as the characters that you would in the films.

Spanning all four films, every major character is here, every minor character is here as well as every possible permutation of existing characters (my personal favourite being Ragetti wearing his dress from the first film).Įach film is set into five separate levels that are separated by mute cut scenes as always to explain the story. We have all the characters as well, and I truly mean that. Despite the game being released before the fourth film it is included in all it’s glory (Bear in mind though, that without seeing the fourth film yet the game will pose massive spoilers of the whole plotline). We are lucky enough to get all four PotC films (The Curse of the Black Pearl, Dead Man’s Chest, At Worlds End and On Stranger Tides). Travellers Tales have finally delved into the British ruled Caribbean in the late 1700’s, where the land is roamed by well-to-do British nobles and the seas are sailed by the likes of Blackbeard, Davy Jones and of course, the one and only, Captain Jack Sparrow.Īs with other Lego games, this game spans a series of films. But without a video to show you some game play footage it’s best described as a plat forming puzzle game aimed at anyone from the ages of around eight years old to at least sixty seven. As with the real life toy, you can build creations out of a multitude of bricks then smash them into pieces as you see fit. That means characters, buildings, animals, everything is made out of those small multicoloured Danish bricks.

It’s a simple premise, where by a movie is converted into, believe it or not, Lego. But deep down, it has been done before - it now just has a different skin.īut lets go back to basics : I’m going to assume that you’ve never played a Lego game. Now finally, FINALLY, we get Lego Pirates of the Caribbean. We’ve seen two Lego Indiana Jones games, three Lego Star Wars games, Lego Batman and there’s even more on the horizon, with the second instalment of the Harry Potter lego games coming later this year. Chances are that if you are reading this review, then you’ve played one of the many previous LEGO games that have been released. It’s hard to review something that has been done numerous times before.
