LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game

This is one of the most anticipated games in our household this year for my wife and son who are huge fans of the Lego games - Batman, Star Wars and Indiana Jones have all been completed. You may already know about the new Lego Star Wars III which is launched later this month so today I wanted to give you an insight into the Lego Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game which graces our consoles this May which is in conjunction with the highly anticipated new film “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides”.

Disney Interactive Studios and TT Games are bringing the entertaining, suave yet slightly mad Jack Sparrow and other familiar characters to life in virtual LEGO® adventures. 

LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game will be based in the world of the globally successful film franchise, incorporating storylines, locations and characters from the first three films (“Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl,” “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest” and “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End”) as well as the upcoming fourth film, “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.”

LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game will re-create the action, adventure and memorable moments of the Pirates of the Caribbean mythology in LEGO form, incorporating the humor of LEGO minifigures and fantastic worlds built from LEGO bricks and elements for players to explore.  Players can take on the roles of more than 70 characters and experience the pirate adventure, irreverent humor and amazing creatures of the Pirates of the Caribbean films, through action-adventure gameplay and hilariously quirky LEGO cut scenes.  Throughout the game, players will also have the freedom to explore environments from the highly acclaimed movie series in more than 20 levels.  The game features two-player cooperative mode, in which players each control a character to experience the story together, and freeplay mode, which lets players return to levels to discover new items.

The video game is being developed by TT Games, the group behind a portfolio of critically acclaimed, best-selling LEGO video games, and will be published by Disney Interactive Studios for the Wii™ console, Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system, Games For Windows – LIVE and the Nintendo DS™ family of hand-held systems.
