LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game Demo

The LEGO franchise has made it a habit to transform the most popular movies from Hollywood into hilarious blocky cartoons, since it already worked quite well with Star Wars, Batman and Indiana Jones. Now, the wacky sea wolves from Pirates of the Caribbean are the center of attention yet again, thanks to their endless hunt for treasure and magnet for trouble.

LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game takes after its predecessors and improves almost every aspect when it comes to graphics, gameplay and the level design. Thus, you can now explore a lot more lively locations and participate in plenty of new clever puzzles, most of which require more than just moving a few LEGO pieces from one place to the other.

Naturally, the story takes the best scenes from the movie series and recreates them as playable stages, which turns out to be quite the inspired idea, since the pirates are even funnier when they cannot talk and they look like colorful toys. The designers did a good job at recreating the locations in excessive detail, although some objects have been replaced with hilarious LEGO representations instead.

As is the case with every other title in the series, you get the chance to control a variety of characters from the movies, as well as the main protagonists themselves. Each one of them has a special ability that comes in handy, while some levels are specifically designed to be passable only by using a certain character's ability. Hence, you are encouraged to get to know all of them, as well as experience everything the game has to offer.

The large number of characters is also of capital importance when it comes to the co-op mode included in the package, which allows you to play with a friend and go through the campaign together. Whether you do so on the same screen or over the Internet, entertainment is guaranteed, especially since the fights are hilarious and the puzzles always put a smile your faces.

In the end, LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game delivers a fun and unforgettable experience in the world of the sea thieves, which should have you laughing for quite a while. The multiplayer mode is just as fun, especially since you can play the actual campaign together with a friend.
