Read this. The real story.
So, here it is.... The game looks really nice. The scenery is fantastic! The graphics are so good, that you literally make your way through a lot of the content before you realize that you have been given yet another poorly planned movie game. Honestly, you think that this game will be one of the few exceptions when you first start playing - and this is due to the beautiful landscapes. But this feeling eventually ends, and you realize that it is just a highly repetitive game machanic that just screams "we want this game out as soon as possible to cash in on the movie success". Summary: If you are a true pirate fan, then rent it and have fun for a few hours. Afterwards, you will be happy that you are giving it back to the store. If you are not a pirate fan, then just skip it. Play it at a friend's house just to say that you have seen the nice visuals.
