Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End Review
10 out of 15
A fun, if a bit derivitive, swashbuckling romp mimicking the action and atmosphere of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.

Multiplayer is available, but not on Xbox Live. The two options are either cooperative or head-to-head combat against enemies, trying to score the most kills, or a duel. You can choose among over a half dozen combatants for either kind of multiplayer battle. Although duels are a nice diversion during the game, they get boring as a way to play head-to-head. Cooperative play in the main game, or cooperative play over Live with several other pirate characters, would’ve been a much better and more rewarding multiplayer option. The only time Xbox Live comes in to play is when you want to see how your legend ranks against the rest of the Pirates players on Live.

Pirates of the Caribbean At World’s End is a fun romp mimicking the action of the movies; it looks good and captures the essence of the films – but it's just too easy for seasoned gamers and the lack of co-op multiplayer is a real bummer. These frustrations keep it from receiving a blanket recommendation. Still, for fans of the movies, you have to admire the great job Disney Interactive has done in creating the Pirates universe in a video game.
