LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean

LEGO toy pirates battle one another with swords, fists, and old-fashioned guns. Grunts and yowls can be heard during combat. In certain sequences, you'll use a crosshair to fire a cannon from a first-person perspective. There are minor explosions when bombs or dynamite are used to destroy obstacles (or in one case, a giant squid). Characters break up into LEGO pieces when defeated, though in the case of swordfighting, this can sometime look like dismemberment. Still, as they are cartoony toy people, the violence is never realistic. There is also some slapstick humor in the cinematic scenes, including a kick to the crotch. There is some spooky imagery, including skeletal ghost pirates.

Male characters do some cartoony ogling of female characters (or characters they believe to be female, since there are some scenes of male pirates disguised as women). In one scene, the disguised male pirates (wearing dresses) wiggle their bottoms to distract their enemies.

During a cinematic scene, characters drink an unnamed beverage and act silly and careless afterwards.

Parents need to know that LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean is a cartoony adventure game based on all four of the Disney Pirates of the Caribbean movies, including the most recent Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. While the game features a good deal of fighting, puzzle-solving and exploration are more key to gameplay than violence. And all the characters are depicted as LEGO toys, so a character "dying" is only seen as the toy figure breaking into its component pieces. Still, kids will have many chances to see LEGO characters get their plastic parts lopped off by swords. There is also a bit of very cartoony sexuality in the form of characters ogling one another in an over-the-top Looney Tunes fashion.
