Lego Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game is a video game in the Lego video game franchise, developed by Traveller's Tales and published by Disney Interactive Studios and the first lego game from a Disney movie.
Lego Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game was Released in May 2011 to coincide with the release of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, the Lego Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game game is based on the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise and its storyline covers all four films.
The Lego Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video game is available on the Wii, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo DS, Microsoft Windows, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Mac OS X, and PlayStation Portable.
Lego Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Gameplay
Gameplay is similar to previous Lego games in the series.
The Lego Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video game uses the same two player drop in drop out co-op mechanics, used in all the Lego games.
This is the fourth Lego game to support the two player splitscreen (the first three being Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues, Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 and Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars).
There are 20 story levels in the whole game, for 5 levels in each movie.
Players collect Lego studs, which have been the Lego games currency used in every Lego game.
Like other titles, these studs can be used to unlock characters, extras, and different Pirate ships.
New Features
The hub in this game is Port Royal. From here, players advance through the game, unlock characters and extras, and as players get further through the game, The Port will evolve and get bigger, revealing new areas to unlock and discover new things.Like past titles, different characters have different abilities.
For example, Captain Jack Sparrow has the ability to use his compass, which points him to whatever his heart desires, (this in the game being the next part of the level).
Will Turner has the ability to throw axes at targets to complete objectives, while Elizabeth Swann, along with the other female characters, has the ability to jump higher than other characters, and get to areas unreachable to other characters. Another feature is the ability to swim. Normal human characters have an oxygen bar, and as this runs out, it determines how long they can stay underwater for before they die.
However, certain characters such as Davy Jones and his crew do not have an oxygen bar when underwater, meaning they can stay underwater for as long as they like without dying.
The 3DS version uses the StreetPass feature to activate sword fights.
The Lego Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video game has received positive reviews.
GameSpot gave 6.5/10 for PC, PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii, while 6.0/10 for PSP, 3DS, and DS. IGN gave 7.5/10 for PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, and DS, while 8.0/10 for 3DS.

Eurogamer rated the game a 8/10, stating that "It's true that those who've played the last two or three Lego titles might experience a little déjà vu, but the rest will likely find that a pirate's life is very much for them."
