Break Out the Rum! The Pirates of the Caribbean is Set to Sail this Summer

Take out your eye patches and wooden pegs, pirates could be back in vogue when Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest (yes, itÂ’s based on the movie) lands ashore. Buena Vista announced the release of the game sometime after the movie sequel hits the theater this summer.

The PSP game features eye-liner wearing Captain Jack Sparrow, the dashing Will Turner and the feisty Elizabeth Swann as they search the legendary (are there any other kind?) treasure, the Dead Man’s Chest, through 10 stages.

The treasure is the only thing that could set Sparrow free from his servitude to Mr. Davy Jones (for helping the campiest pirate we’ve seen ever locate the Black Pearl). The game mixes unforgettable scenes from the hit movie as well as exciting new adventures and locations. Previews of Pirates of the Caribbean said it captures the spirit of the movie pretty well.

But what intrigued game test drivers about Pirates of the Caribbean the most is its ad hoc multiplayer mode which can support four players at same time. “This completely different “ship-versus-ship” mini-game bears a striking resemblance to Sid Meier’s Pirates but with even more stuff to play with. Ten different maps, customizable ships, and the option to invade your foes ships with crewmates sounds like a lot of fun to us, and it sure plays like it too.” Whether the game will sail smoothly or sink like the Titanic (the actual ship, not the movie) in the hands of landlubbers remains to be seen.
