The controls for this game are better than the previous, the story elements are good, the scripts and subquests are good. However, the battling is just too difficult for me. You're often fighting three to four guys at once, as soon as one's beat, another takes it's place. It's all I can do just to stay alive, living from one heal to the next. Either my hp is lousy or my defense is lousy, my thumb will be sore for hours. I got to the third level before I was begging for mercy and quit. I am not up to this level of challenge, if there was an easier mode or ways of boosting your life expectancy.
Also, there are bonuses called "Jack-anisms" where Jack must complete a series of goofy maneuvers to accomplish a goal. This is achieved by you executing a series of response commands quickly. If you get even one wrong you either fail the event in loss of points and are skipped to the next level, or are forced to do it over again until you get it right. This just isn't fun anymore.
 Fun game, with a few errors July 25, 2007

I purchased this game for my two sons, and they have had a good time playing it. There were a couple of errors in the game, like when you choose any other character that is not Jack Sparrow and the other characters in the game keep calling you Jack. But that is not a big deal. Graphics are OK, very similar to others that I have seen lately. Not the most amazing game that I have seen, but fun nonetheless.

I purchased Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End after previewing the game on my friend's Xbox 360. I enjoyed the demo and decided to purchase it for myself. I own a Playstation 2 and was prepared for some differences between the two gaming console. However, I was not prepared for what I got.
The game play is not even remotely similar between the two versions and the story line looks as if a small child took scissors to it. On the Xbox 360 you are given control over many different aspects of the game, from camera control to manipulating the environment. You are allowed to climb walls, ropes, ladders and use your sword to perform jumps across open pits. Sword duels between your character and others in the game are exciting and offer many different variations in tactics and animation. You can even carry a barrel of gun powder around with you to blow open doors and set booby traps.
In the Playstation 2 version you are given NONE of the exciting aspects of game play. The camera is static, the only manipulation of environment is destroying some crates, climbing ladders and sliding down ropes are cut screens and the sword fights are nothing more than hitting 2 buttons on the control pad repeatedly...no strategy or brain power involved.
Both of these versions are being marketed as one-and-the-same. This couldn't be further from the truth. My ratings are skewed by the disappointment I received when I bought this. I was prepared for a significant graphics difference and some game play difference, but could not believe my eyes when I saw what had been done. Go buy this game on Xbox 360, or MAYBE even the Playstation 3. It is a wonderful and fun game on the Xbox 360, but avoid it on PS2!
Nice but no game is perfect June 4, 2007

Unlike spiderman 3 for PS2 (Which everyone seems to dislike) this game is more graphical and more detail is in the faces but this makes me wish I got it for XBOX360 but I heard that you can only play as barbossa in the PS2 so I though how bad can it be? well not that bad not that bad at all the faults for this game is that you can,t join in sword clashes (which the XBOX360 versions had)instead you have this 1 block button.the game starts with pirates 2 (my favorite level is the 1 on the boat where you fight davy jones crew mates) and then goes into pirates 3.
Yar, something smells of the scurvey here... June 3, 2007

With Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End plundering the box office, it's only natural for a video game tie-in to be released. The good 'ol PS2 isn't spared of this either, as At World's End is here, and it's about what you'd expect from a quickly made, movie tie-in, video game. Compiling parts of both Dead Man's Chest and At World's End, the game puts you in the shoes of Captain Jack Sparrow, Will Turner, and Elizabeth Swann as you take on hordes of enemies and Davy Jones as well. The first thing you'll probably notice are the game's muddy graphics and the incredibly boring combat and gameplay. Yeah, it's a pretty typical licensed game at heart, and it's pretty boring as well. Not to mention the incredibly linear mission objectives and story don't really allow you to do anything beyond what you're given. The various mini-games to be found here are fun though, which the overall game could have taken a cue from. If you played last year's Pirates of the Caribbean: The Legend of Jack Sparrow, you'll probably know what to expect here, although that game did feature the voice talent of Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom; neither of which are here, nor is anyone else from the major headlining cast either. The competitive multiplayer is a nice addition, but in the end, At World's End barely holds up as being below average. All in all, At World's End may be worth a look for die hard Pirates of the Caribbean fans, but in the end, this game is better left on the shelf.
