A stormy review (sorry, best I could do *g*) of Pirates of the Caribbean has been posted by Gamespy. With a leader of "somebody needs to be keelhauled for this" the score is a lowly 55%. Here's an excerpt:
The last, of course, assumes that you actually manage to play the game at all. Put simply, this is a game that's so incomplete and badly balanced that it's almost impossible to play at all. First, the interface is simply atrocious. The default keyboard setup is nearly impossible to use. Even when the keys are remapped, though, it seems like to you have to press an awful lot of keys to do even the simplest things. The buy/sell screen layout, for example, is awful, and makes it really tough to figure out just what's in your cargo hold. Even better, when you buy and sell personal inventory items, you won't be able to sell them unless they've been unequipped -- meaning you have to go to another screen (two or three key presses), unequip the item, and then come back to sell it (another two or three presses). Then there are the things that are simply missing -- like a map of the entire game world. While navigating my ship on the ocean, it'd be nice if I actually knew where I was going rather than sailing at random hoping to find the right island.
Ouch!
