Review

You begin the game in a prison where Jack Sparrow rescues you. You are instructed on how to proceed via a mix of on screen tips and cut scenes that have remarkably great voice acting. The first hour or so of the game is played like this, you'€™ll have almost no interaction with other players as you meet the main characters from the movie one by one and learn the game. The combat is simple but entertaining, it'€™s a real time system where you'€™ll have to time your mouse clicks rather than just button mash. Your skill with individual weapons increases as you use them, which I find a better progression ladder than the typical â'level up and pick skills€ system that most games use.

Pirates offers an interesting PvP system. You are prohibited to fight other pirates (players) but this rule only applies to living pirates, as you can put on a ring which turns you into an undead pirate, and as long as you leave it on you may attack or be attacked by other undead pirates. If Pirates sounds like the perfect free MMO, you'€™ll be disappointed to hear that there'€™s one major catch. The free play, or basic account, is very limited. You'€™ll be denied access to the best ships and equipment, and even to additional skill slots! Unfortunately, the free play aspects of this game are more of a trial than a stand alone game. This doesn'€™t mean you should pass Pirates of the Caribbean Online up, its worth the download!
