Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, Nintendo Wii Video Game Review

I have followed Pirates of The Caribbean since the flicks first began showing in the theaters. I though have never been one to care much about movies made to games. Most movies made to games have always failed miserably, and for me had always been a waste of dough.

When Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End came out for the Nintendo Wii though, I was excited because at the time the Wii lacked decent game titles. I figured Pirates Of The Caribbean At Worlds End would deliver a cool action packed sword fighting type game.

I was right about the sword fighting part...but as far as action goes, this game failed to deliver. Basically the entire game was nothing more then a repetitive workout for my wrists and thumb.

Anyhow, the game sort of meshes two movies into one, Dead Mans Chest, and At World's End. With you playing mostly as Captain Jack Sparrow (although as the game goes on other character missions in the game will be available, but sparingly). The game begins with you; Jack Sparrow attempting to get the heart of Davy Jones.

It seems interesting indeed, however the first few scenes in the game are nothing more than you flinging your wrists around and smashing buttons to attempt to kill enemies that come at you. Once you kill that group of enemies, you move on a few virtual steps, and suddenly you're at it again. Mashing buttons, swinging your arms, and killing the enemy.

Basically this was the entire game play for the first part of the game.

But...um...it didn't stop. It just kept going, with missions that were basically all the same, and some missions that were thrown at me with little explanation as to what the hell I had to do to complete the objective.

Mostly though this is what Pirates Of The Caribbean: At Worlds End has to deliver: Captain Jack, his sword, and enemies to fight. You flinging your arm around, and smacking at the action button. Nothing spectacular here folks.

I guess the only thing that I would consider interesting was that the game included some familiar scenes that matches up with the actual movie. A few scenes though are completely fabricated, and have nothing to do with the actual movie.
