This isn't your typical "movie licensed game" at all, actually. Once you're past the technical hurdles (and the brutal realization of just how easy it is to die in a swordfight or sea battle), Pirates of the Caribbean is an absolutely beautiful looking, freeform RPG adventure. But it is really suited for experienced, patient gamers rather than casual ones.
In addition, they've also tracked down both Johnny Depp and Keira Knightly from the Pirates of the Caribbean movie and were able to ask several questions about both the game and the flick. A snippet:
GD: How much are you into videogames, if at all?
JD: I've gotten obsessed -- absolutely obsessed -- with a couple of games. When I was doing Sleepy Hollow, there were two games that I just drove everyone around me batty with. One was Quake, and the other was Shadow Warrior. Because you know, the game opens up, when you start the game -- there's this sort of high-pitched Chinese voice that screams out: [adopting a mock Asian accent] "WHOOOOO want-a some Wang?" I mean, THAT was it; it was like, I've GOTTA play this one. And I remember a game I thought was interesting: Postal. It was a really funny concept.
