Of all of the releases for the system so far, this is genuinely demonstrates the potential benefit of the 3D screen in bringing players into the game world. The most outstanding feature of the 3DS game is in the title of the system: the 3D effect in LEGO Pirates is fantastic.

The game is easy to finish in under five hours, however like LEGO games of the past, the amount of collectables and unlockables will keep gamers coming back again and again to replay each stage and leave no structure intact. Even the hub is smaller in comparison to the Wii release. 16 stages doesn’t exactly seem all that impressive, especially when you realize that these handheld versions of the stages are shorter than the console games. Score: 6.LEGO Pirates covers all four of the existing Pirates films with four stages based on each movie. Fans of the movies however who are looking for a quick bit of easy fun in a game, this is one not to be missed. For fans of past Lego titles this may be a heavy let down as the difficulty just doesn’t stack up to previous games.

The game assumes I’m going to go back and collect absolutely every stud, glass bottle or coin which just isn’t going to happen.

I felt a little cheated that the entire game takes only four to five hours to complete and is priced as a full game. Overall it really depends on what you’re looking for in a game. The soundtrack was nothing to complain about either, coming straight from the movies it added a nice authentic touch. At least the Lego franchise is moving forward in this aspect with much improved visuals. Watching little Lego pirates run around looks fantastic during game play. For once I actually used the 3D feature as it wasn’t overpowering or too much of a strain. This game was played out on the 3DS and visually wise it works well on the device. It was also disappointing to see no multiplayer co-op in a game that could of definitely used some variety. The AI was terrible, ignoring the fact enemies had less lives than you it again presented no challenge and was far too easy to use your sword three or four times to toss them away. To speak of the combat, there is little to say about it. The puzzles throughout the game such as rebuilding blocks are just as repetitive and present no challenge what so ever that got tiresome quickly. If this was sped up to a manic pace it would of been more entertaining. The quick time event involved spamming the B button for a bit and pressing three buttons that appear at random. Dueling was a real missed opportunity to make something intense and engaging, instead it is a painfully mundane task that I groaned at every time I was forced into it. What does get old and boring are the small mini games. Although it’s repetitive throughout, it never gets old being a pirate and collecting lots of gold. Demolish everything in sight to collect studs and other collectables. The game mechanics are nothing new here for a Lego game. The movies have translated well to the game and in true Lego fashion a lighthearted approach to re-telling of the story has been done to perfection. Each character brings to the game its own personality such as the distinguishable drunken walk of Jack Sparrow.

The cut scenes are polished and the adorable Lego characters are as goofy as ever. The player will smash their way through all four movies in an undeniably charming Lego world. It initially sounds like a match made in heaven for Pirates of the Caribbean fans and Lego enthusiasts alike, but this video game doesn’t quite execute the fun of previous Lego games.
