Positive: 5 out of Mixed: 9 out of Negative: 0 out of Overall, Lego: Pirates was a game experience I'd be willing to play over and over again in order to complete all of the side objectives in the game.

Initially getting through the puzzles is engaging and being able to go back later and unlock all the things I couldn't access before is made less tedious by just how nice the game looks to play and the de-emphasis on the combat. And the fact that I'm playing with pirates, which as we all know are far more awesome than ninjas.

Nintendo Gamer. It builds on the films' best bits and dumps the worst. All this publication's reviews. Nintendo Power. It's funny, perfect for fans of the films or just those in the market for some light-hearted antics and has more content than you could shake a peg leg at. Game Informer. That game introduced some light RTS elements to the series, along with loads of vehicle-based missions, and a huge cast of playable characters.

That's not to say that Pirates is a bad game — quite the contrary. It's just puzzling to see a series that has struggled to evolve take a step back. Where are the epic ship-to-ship vehicle battles? On the PlayStation 2, PC, and Wii, competitive multiplayer lets you take on swarms of enemies in timed challenges, and you can even duel against a friend.

Their inclusion is a nice gesture, but the results are underwhelming. The frame rate is generally steady on all versions, and there are some nice-looking attack animations, but there's very little else to get excited about.

None of the versions have very good texture work, though the PSP's are about what you'd expect from the system and the PC's are at a higher resolution. The story is told via cutscenes that use the in-game engine, and while the characters do resemble their movie counterparts, they look quite poor--especially on the PSP, where their mouths don't move.

The Wii version supports widescreen as do all the other versions and progressive scan, but it fails to impress in any way and looks exactly the same as the PlayStation 2 version. Character resemblances are there, but the models are junk. The game's audio is solid, albeit unspectacular. You won't be hearing Johnny Depp, Keira Knightley, or Orlando Bloom, but the soundalikes do an admirable job of filling their shoes. It's just too bad there isn't more dialogue to flesh out the story.

The game uses the movies' soundtracks to punctuate the action, fading in and out depending on the situation. It's not the best score you've ever heard, but it fits the game well. The sound effects are good, but there's not enough variety to them. Granted, there's only so much that can be done with clanging swords, but there could have been more variety to the catchphrases that your foes yell when they attack.

When it's all said and done, At World's End is a very by-the-book approach to a movie-based game. It has, and lets you play as, all the characters you'd want to play; it doesn't deviate from the movies' plots too much; and it takes you to many of the locations you see in the films.

While those are good things, the game really would have benefited by taking some risks.
