I have this game myself and I think it is for ages 7 and above because there is a little bit of violence but it does not include any blood or sexual scenes which is a good thing for younger kids
The game play is challenging enough to keep the player's interest, but not so much that it becomes frustrating or confusing. The signature Lego humor is fun, but the cut-scenes make very little sense. My kids (10 & 6) hadn't seen the movies, but greatly enjoyed playing the game, even without understanding the storyline.
Anyone paying attention to the reviews AND the age recommendations will notice that I flagged this game as "on" for ages 8 & up, yet mentioned that one of my kids playing this is 6. I believe my 6 yo would've had a difficult time playing the game on her own, without the guidance of her big brother.
The only complaint I have is the game occasionally freezes up, forcing me to shut down the PS3 console. I haven't run into this issue with any of the other Lego titles we've played, but we don't have the most recent titles other than P.O.T.C.
This is noticibly one of the weakest lego games. (the worst being Indiana Jones 2)
Good
It has the normal Lego feel to the Disney Movies and they did a fine job of making some of the boring movie parts fun ( riding goats through Davy Jones Locker) And the graphics look like somebody sent their legos to a dry cleaner and it does make the movies more humorus than they normally are And in the UK the game came out before the movie which was great for them.
Bad
I said the game wasn't the best lego game. The quests are alot more complex than the others there are too many people on the screen at most points and sometimes they make you switch between them to solve puzzels why are they on the screen? Just let us switch between them insted of clamming in a tight spot. The gameplay is also very tedious and you will get bored unlike in the first 3 Also the 2p split screen can get very annoying when it is changing from one screen to two epecily when one is high and one is low which makes one drop out and come back in which also makes this game annoying it's still worth the money if you can find it cheaper than 39.99 but if you see it for $49 just don't get it
Impressive, but at the end of the day, just another game.
Lots of swprdplay and scary sequences. Girls dress up as boys. Lots of kisses between characters. Lego is mixed in with the succesful Pirates of the Carribean saga. Characters drink and are drunk at many times along the storyline. The characters can be shown as bad role models, but no matter how many times they betray each other, they still come through to each other at the end of the day.
I babysit and I let the kids play it and they enjoy they don't get the sexual references they just think its just silly and It's what Lego does they to that in all their games. But the one thing that kind of led me to sell the game is the drinks.. .I understand its pirate time period but children shouldn't be learning about that until they are older.
Good parent-child co-op game with lots of puzzle solving.
I bought to play with my son as he loves pirates and does well with the Xbox. I knew puzzles would be tough for him, but he can figure out most. I don't let him play alone, though, because there are some slightly frightening parts and difficult parts. We have a lot of fun playing it together and he loves unlocking all the different characters. I do agree with a previous reviewer that the cut scenes are pretty hard to follow. I still have no real clue what happened on the 4th movie (haven't seen it) despite playing through those levels.
