Shiver my timbers, pieces of eight, walk the plank you scurvy ridden sea dog….. We all love a good pirate story dont we? Well this PSP pirate based adventure is a mixed bag, it offers fairly good graphics, with nice enviroments and decent character animations, something you would expect from a disney titled movie game. The sound and music are capable, they are pretty much what you’d expect from a pirate adventure game. The cockney voices used to voice over for some of the pirates lines are pretty stupid but equally funny. Gameplay is the games weakness, mainly due to lack of variety in the game, theirs only so much hack n slashing you can do before repetitive encounters drive you potty. The game has puzzle elements thrown in occassionally but they are fairly basic and dont take much thought. The controls are a simple affair and wont stretch anyone to much, they are responsive enough to follow the adventure. I’d never class this pirate yarn as a bad game, it’s just lacking that something to keep you hooked and intrested, the graphics help but the gameplay needed more bite, it’s all average adventuring, pirates are supposed to be exciting afterall. It wont shiver your tibers to much, I’d give it 6.7 pieces of eight and not a penny more! lol 6.7/10 Rated.
