The particular tragedy of this game, though, is that it didn't have to be this way. It's a sequel to a good game that could have been well integrated with a good license. Instead, it seems more likely Disney threw a treasure chest of doubloons at Bethesda to get the game at all ("What do you mean we've got no video-game tie-in?") and even more to get it out early ("This game has to be out when the movie releases!"). As for me, I'm going back to Tropico 2 and sending another e-mail to Sid Meier to please hurry with his Pirates! update.
The Xbox review scored a little higher, with an overall score of 65%. Check it out:
There is nothing more tragic than a truly amazing game being reduced to being only occasionally good because of completely preventable things like bugs. I pray that Bethesda releases an updated version of Pirates of the Caribbean in the future. It's a great game. I recommend it to any fans of Bethesda, any fans of pirate games, any fans of open-ended games ... but not yet. I'd wait a few months and see if an updated edition comes out, since you'll be otherwise stuck with a bug-ridden mess.
