Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End Review
by Levi Buchanan
At World's End is based on the third film in the pop culture phenom of a trilogy. Will Turner and his cohorts must rescue Jack Sparrow from a purgatory of sorts so that can take the fight back to Davy Jones and his new master, Lord Becket. As such, you begin the game as Turner, seeking the help of a pirate lord in Singapore. The first two levels are something of tutorials, teaching you the ins and outs of the controls. At World's End is largely a platformer with lots of running, jumping, and collecting. There are pirate enemies to do battle with, too. Turner and Sparrow (no secret that he's resurrected) engage in a little swashbuckling on two levels -- basic combat in the context of platforming and duels with bosses that require parrying, feinting, and slashing.
Capybara does seek to mix things up in the game's 21 levels (which is an impressive number for mobile), such as adding ship battles and escape scenes. In a ship battle, you must aim your cannon at the opposing ship's guns as well as blast their cannonballs out of the air. Successive hits release power-ups, like a triple shot. Unfortunately, these battles aren't very exciting. You also have scenes where you must fend of a horde of incoming enemies, but your enjoyment of this is directly related to how much you enjoy pounding on attack buttons.
Two things about At World's End serve as buzzkills. First, the control is questionable. I tested the game on a Sony Ericsson w810i and an LG CU500. Both handsets have responsive directional pads and buttons. But hitting landings, making jumps, and especially swinging on vines was a purely hit-or-miss operation. Pulling off a double-jump seemed more random than anything -- sometimes I'd reach the rigging, sometimes I'd be pounding on the jump button (2 or up) to no avail.
Secondly, there isn't much pizzazz in here. The game looks okay and it manages to squeeze in plenty of stuff from the movie, but it lacks the flair that packs 'em in the theaters. If you have a chance, check out Gameloft's Pirates of the Seven Seas and you'll get an idea if what I mean -- there's an over-the-top pirate adventure with frilly shirts, flamboyant moves, and beautiful scenery. At World's End just isn't inventive -- it's a textbook side-scrolling movie game, and after playing games with loftier ambitions like Warner's 300 or Capybara's own Cars, it's hard to settle for the routine.
Closing Comments
Developer Capybara Games has assembled a perfunctory movie-game that hits its marks -- swashbuckling, cannon fire, vine swinging -- but fails to engage the player at all. That the game play isn't compelling (a problem augmented by iffy control) is a shame, because with no fewer than 21 levels, this could have been a real value for mobile gamers. If you're looking for a great pirate-themed game to compliment your interest in the summer spectacle, I recommend Gameloft's Pirates of the Seven Seas.

Pirates of the Caribbean Films
from Wikipedia
When rumors about a possible film inspired by the attraction first surfaced in 2002, many saw the move as a simple ploy by Disney to promote one of its theme park rides. Additionally, many were concerned that pirate films such as Cutthroat Island and films based on Disney attractions such as The Country Bears had not done well at the box office. Nevertheless, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, starring Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow, opened on July 9, 2003 and eventually grossed US $653 million worldwide, becoming one of the top twenty-five global box office earners of all time.In 2006, to promote the release of the second film Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, and to bring the attraction up-to-date, audio-animatronic likenesses of Captain Jack Sparrow and Captain Barbossa were added to the Disneyland and Magic Kingdom versions, along with new special effects, though the basic ride remains the same.
The triumph of the first film led to the production of two additional films with the same core cast. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest opened in July 2006 and quickly broke several records, including that for the quickest $US100 million box office gross.[1] Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, the final film of the trilogy, was produced concurrently with Dead Man's Chest and is set to be released in late May 2007.[2]
