Surprisingly enough, this licensed GBA game is an incredibly lazy and boring cash-in title
User Rating: 2 | Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl GBA
At its core, the most important part about a video game is that it is fun - if it isn't fun or enjoyable in any way, then it simply isn't worth playing. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl for the Game Boy Advance is a good example of a game that is not fun, and while it may not be broken, it is entirely void of anything worth your precious time and money. In short, this is a lazy cash-in game and nothing more. In more detail, this game has you hacking-and-slashing your way through monotonous and boring levels in search of loot. The game really only consists of two activities - mash on the A button, get lost a few times, button mash some more, then rinse and repeat. There's honestly nothing redeemable or interesting about this incredibly lazy game, and while the graphics and sound design are passable, the barely-functional controls, boring level design, and atrocious combat system make Pirates of the Caribbean a game worth skipping. It can be completed in just a few hours, but is this really worth a few hours of your time? Not in my book.
