Me and my brother got this game for christmas. We started playing and thought the game was really fun. The game is more fun if you play the multiplayer mode. The game starts out with the playable characters being Jack, Elizabeth, and Will, but as you collect gold coins and statues you can unlock playable characters such as the voodo doll, captain pirate, Norrington, Jack as tribal cheif, and many others. The best of these in my opinion is the captain pirate(He waddles like a penguin, but can beat a guy in 2 hits). The game takes less than 5 hours to beat ON NORMAL SETTING.The game follows the storyline of the movie pretty well but skips a few parts like how Will gets the key. I dont understand why they didnt make the Flying Dutchman a level . It would have made the game longer. You start out with a cutlass but as you collect coins you can buy weapons. The best weapon you can buy is the native blade.
