There are a few sections in this game with annoying glitches. Some controls are a bit tricky to get a hang of and don't always work the first time around. You have to be positioned just so to make some of them work. I'm talking about environmental controls, such as opening chests, turning cranks, etc. The fighting controls couldn't be clearer, and add a lot to the game. It makes it seem like not just a hack-your-way-through-it kind of thing, because you get some good moves to work with (including one where you knee your enemies in a very sensitive spot, which is one we just never play in front of our young son because we don't want to give him ideas!). When Jack gets his bombs and Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann get their hatchets, it's even more fun. Every now and then, and I haven't figured this out, but there's a fish barrel to reload hatchets so that Will and Elizabeth are throwing fish instead of hatchets, but it does the same damage. I'm sure this was just the video game programmers having some fun.

The game is really a lot of fun! If you loved Pirates of the Caribbean and you like video games for their stories and for the fun of playing them instead of for a lot of blood, guts, and sex, you'll really enjoy this game. (In case that wasn't clear, there is no blood, guts, or sex in this game.)

I played for a while before I allowed my son to see the game. After I approved, he and my husband played for quite a long time and had a lot of fun with it. Now I have to sneak to get my play time!

The basic idea of the game is Jack Sparrow telling the events of Pirates of the Caribbean from his own point of view (with some embellishments, of course). In some instances, the other characters even comment on it. "I wasn't here!" And my favorite one, when Will Turner started speaking a bunch of lines that were obviously Jack Sparrow kind of talk, and he stopped and said, "What is this you have me saying?"

So this game covers not just the movie, but extra things as well. You get to go to China (by the way: do NOT play the dragon chase scene in co-op mode... we only beat it when we did it single player), fight a pirate called Black Smoke James, and many other fun little extras.

I wish this game had a three player co-op mode! We love video games that make us laugh, and this one definitely does do that.

one of the best games...EVER

this game is AWESOME!!!The graphics are incredible! Some bosses are tricky but you'll get it. you could play as Jack,Elizabeth,and Will. It might be rated T for teen but it is not bloody.The enviroments are greatly detailed.It has 1-2 co-op multiplayer mode.Opening the treasure chests at the beginning is tricky but once again you'll get it.Even though i am a kid(11 to be exact) i highly and i mean HIGHLY suggest you try this wonderful game!

Pirates of the Caribbean The Legend of Jack Sparrow is GREAT!

I am playing this game with my son and we are having the time of our lives. The characters look very similar to the movie characters, so the graphics are great. The voice of Jack Sparrow is actually Johnny Depp (and he's great). They are witty and comical and the game play is just easy enough for us to be able to manage to get through the levels. We have had to do a few of the levels more than once, but are relieved that we can get through and enjoy the game.

It reminds me of Lord of the Rings Return of the King for Playstation 2. Very similar in the way the characters can work together and cannot get too far ahead of each other. That's the key, stick together and learn to work as a team.

I highly recommend you get this to play and even better if you play it with your parents. Just a wonderful experience.

TO FUN

This game rocks! It is soooo much fun! And it's pretty darn easy too! Playing Jack Sparrow and Elizabeth Swann is the best! They're the best fighters! But overall, Jack rocks! The special effects and the fighting in this game is over the top! It's awesome. It makes you feel like your in the game! What this game is about is that when Jack and Will are being hung for the mischeif and Jack explains what all happened in the first film (from his perspective). In this game, you can play solo or co-op (both ways are great). And when playing (both solo and co-op) there's always two people in the level with you. The combinations are either usually: Jack Sparrow & Will Turner or Jack Sparrow & Elizabeth Swann. I think Jack's pretty much in every awesome level! So buy this game, it's totally worth the price!

wow! this game is so much fun. I originally bought the game because it was the first Pirates of the Caribbean game for PS2 and who doesn't like Captain Jack Sparrow. Another reason I bought it was so that I could play with my sister and not leave her out. Take my advice for it this game is the best two player game I have ever played. If you don't play two player, then it is very hard to beat. And two player is already hard enough. Because you have to play as Jack and Will or Jack and Elizabeth at the same time. The only glitch in the entire game was that Jack Sparrow's voice (Johnny Depp) is the only actual voice from the movie. But still overall a great game. "Drink up me hardies yoho"

I have seen the game but not played it
