"The game boasts a pretty action-packed combat system, with light attacks, heavy attacks, combos, and ranged gun attacks. You also have the ability to curse enemies, which puts them in a state where you are capable of inflicting more damage than usual. This can also be chained, as knocking a cursed enemy into another will curse him as well. The system seemed quite fluid and easy to pull off. Additionally, the game has a pretty nice upgrade tree system, and the ability to purchase new weapons and items."

edit: btw... great read! Hats off to Tyler, I hope you put forward more pieces like this.
It's EXTREMELY rare to read well-written articles on this site. Job well done, sir!
I really hope this game is good.
does this star Jack Sparrow or Orlando's Bloom character? I hope the latter isn't in it.
Most movie based games are just lame attempts at selling more idiotic mass-media product - This pirates seems to be reaching for something different but the stigma of a movie game is still too overwhelming to think that this one is going to rise above the competition.
another one?
