Great Movie GameJun 09, 2007
By Tamer F. Gouda I just finished this game and I have to say it was one of the most enjoyable gaming experiences I have had on Xbox 360. As a huge fan of the Pirates of the Caribbean Movie Franchise this game fits in very well with the brand. If you have yet to see At World's End and want to be surprised DO NOT play this game, the game follows the movie very closely and let's you play at most of the vital scenes as well as some creative storylines not found in the films.
The game is visually stunning and the sound shook my living room. The characters look almost exactly as they do on the big screen. As for the game play, it is relativity easy, but that is what makes the game so enjoyable. It can be played by children and adults. As for its reply value, I feel this game can be played over and over again. There are many hidden elements to the game that are not easily found and I for one will play this game again just to find the hidden items.
I highly recommend this game for anyone who is looking for good family fun or a break from the first person shooters and grand theft auto type games currently flooding the video game market.
In the end you will remember this day as the day we all caught Captain Jack Sparrow and he is alive and well in our video game collections.

It's a Double NegativeMay 16, 2008
By Stancet This product is a double negative. It's so bad, it's good. That might seem strange, but I'll explain why in a minute.
This video games retells the events in the last two Pirates of the Caribbean movies. However, if you're serious about the story, skip this. This video game doesn't retell the story very accuratly. Only half of the plot details happened in the movie.
As for graphics, I agree with the other reviewers. The animation is not glitchy and looks very nice. However, Jack Sparrow's peculiar movements looked more entertaining in the movie. In this game, Jack Sparrow looks over animated; like he's too drunk to stand up (but miraculously talk straight). Other than that, nice graphics. For a game developed for a fast release, it certainly looks pretty.
Now we get to the big question. Gameplay... The gameplay is seriously boring. Serious video gamers will be un-entertained and would rather play Halo. However, people who have had bad days will love this game. If you want a game that is easy to play and win, you can play this. If you've overworked your brain in the office, you can come home and let this game play itself for you. This game is a stress reliever.
If you're a serious video gamer, than done bother renting this. However, if you do get a copy, save it for a very miserable day.

Entertaining and enjoyableJun 05, 2007
This game was fun when I got it I was looking forward to getting home and getting started and straight away you will notice that the graphics for this game are great I mean I thought that (and sorry if I spoil it for anyone)and the voices are really hard to tell the difference from the real cast ( but I do think the voice of barbossa was here not sure)I also thought that the battle seens where there are those real fast sword clashes were great.Faults:well trying to use your gun and throwing knives is impossible to aim even with a area filled with enemys.also flashing from character to character was a little annoying but at times it was fun.Overall:well a good thing about this game is that it isn,t a simple button masher it actually has a lot of combos such as being able to punch and throw them around I esplcially like the ability to knee people in the nuts so it was really fun. but with very minor faults no game is perfect

not great but lots of funMay 27, 2007

Pirates of the Caribbean At World's End is a great looking game, visually stunning. That is its strongest feature, and there is a lot of wasted potential but that aside the game is still fun if you are a fan of the movies and like the beat the crap out of things with a sword.

I bought this game on xbox 360 because I had a lot of fun playing it with my sister on wii. It is not the same. I found it was difficult, and boring. The graphics are better on 360, and that was kind of cool, but I am not even sure if its the same storyline. I know for sure there are things in the xbox version I never saw on the wii (and vis versa). I recommend renting this first to see if its your kind of thing or not. Don't waste the money without trying it out.
