A hands-on preview of Pirates of the Caribbean can be found at Gamer's Pulse, based on the Xbox version. Here's a snip that may dispel some fears:
Unlike other titles based on movies this title does not follow the general storyline of the upcoming movie by the same name, instead merely falls into the timeline of the movie, offering a new and unique story for players to play through, and feels somewhat reminiscent of Morrowind. The general scope of the story places you in a power struggle between governments, pirates, merchants, and fortune-seekers, all out to find a treasure hidden in a secret island cache. |
