Ahoy, mangy scalawags! Captain Jack Sparrow is back with Will and Elizabeth for more swashbuckling, plank-walking, and treasure hunting action than ever before with Disney Interactive's Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. These videos have the developers talking about the gameplay and the special effects that the movie and the game share, and it all looks good. Have a peek at some gameplay footage first:



You'll notice that there will be plenty of jumping and hacking in this iteration of the popular movie franchise. Platforming mechanics were combined with clever fighting moves to put you right in the thick of things as Jack and his crew try to survive every menace that the sea throws at them.

One cool factor that the game introduces is the "notoriety" aspect where players gain the attribute by doing the nasty stuff that pirates do. There are benefits for behaving like a real-life buccaneer, so go right ahead and hop aboard the Black Pearl. Better yet, go see the movie first and when you're feeling all salty, sit in front of the TV and your next-gen machine and have a smashin' good time.

The devs were nice enough to walk us through the gameplay. Here is their two-part presentation:

Part 1 shows us all the jumpin' and slashin':



While Part 2 shows us an eagle's view of the trademark pirate ship and a closer look at the crew:

amazing how people judge the game before it is actually released. I actually have a copy and it is alot of fun. Little aggravating at point with the puzzles, but overall a solid game. I would recommend it to anyone.

You block in front of the pot, and when she starts to attack and jump, move to one side and she'll fall in the pot.

I have the PC version, and on the maelstrom level, with elizabeth, I'm trying to defeat all of those people, but no matter how many of them I defeat, I still lose. One of the crew still gets stabbed, therefore losing the level. How do I defeat all of them?

I'm having the same issue. I go from the 1st ship to the Flying Dutchman, but the guy I go over there to help always gets killed. I am so frustrated!!!
