#LEGO PIRATS OF THE CARIBBEAN FREE#
You'll see a lot of glowing stuff you can't interact with first time round- another sweep through in Free Play with an newly-extended cast unlocks new areas and treats. You've got to hot-swop between your chosen crew to use the right ability to finish objectives, with the AI proving companionably smart in pulling and activating dual switches when needed. It's a small but worthy touch, the kind that populates these games in great number and shows each is more than a production line replica of the last.Įach character has his or her speciality gunslingers, blacksmiths, and, in what seems to be a unconscious nod to Princess Peach, high-jumping ladies. His iconic canter is performed perfectly by his Lego counterpart and charms from the off - making it one of the few Lego games where we actively fought to play as a character.Ĭombat in the game is the same as any - button bash to your heart's content - but the developer has went to great pains in replicating the swash-buckling sword play of it's cinematic cousin.in look at least. And what rings true with the films does so with the Lego version Sparrow steals the show. The action scenes are returned to front and centre of the experience rather than talk (though the mumbles of Lego's blocky cast are brimmed with win) and thus the diversity shown in the four films shines through.Īs do the principle characters. Bruckheimer should had mined Traveller's treasure chest rather than Davey Jones's locker for inspiration. Vast swathes of exposition that dulled the latter parts of the trilogy are liberally cut and restitched instead into a few key cutscenes that are big on laughs rather than snores. The franchise's cheerful charms has turned to Pirates and, truth be told, has found it's perfect partner in the comedic and set-piece rammed tale of Captain Jack Sparrow and chums, and spectacularly makes something decent and worthwhile out of two overblown sequels.
