G4: "The execution should be familiar to fans of the LEGO games. Players work their way through each of the movies – four in this case, including the as-yet-unreleased Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides – which have been broken into a series of five chapters apiece.
The first time you play through a given chapter, you follow the story and use set characters to solve puzzles, break things and collect studs (i.e. LEGO currency) according to the demands of the narrative. Once you’ve finished a chapter once, it can be returned to in Free Play, during which you can use any character to solve a wider range of puzzles. The ultimate goal is to unlock all of the characters, ship-in-a-bottle minikits, gold bricks and red brick cheats (“extras,” the games call them)."
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "There are few brands out there that have anything like the appeal and recognition of Disney. Thanks to decades of beautiful and critically acclaimed animated films, the company is a household name that has expanded beyond just movies to include a variety of other ventures, including videogames. Disney has also grown its lineup considerably in recent years by acquiring Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars (although for the purposes of this article, I’ll only be covering Disney/Pixar output).
Thanks to their broad audience, Disney games usually show up on every viable platform out there, meaning that despite the brand’s affinity with Nintendo’s younger-skewing audience, both the PSP and Vita received a number of titles throughout their lives. Some of this was through Disney's own developer/publisher (Disney Interactive Studios), but the firm also licensed out its IPs for other companies to try their hand at – with somewhat mixed results."

James writes "Movie tie-ins aren’t always the best kind of games, but when it's a LEGO adaptation, you take notice, and now you can grab an old gem based on the Pirates of the Caribbean films, without parting with any pieces of eight. Shiver me timbers, it’s free!"
Lego POTC is the only Lego game I like, the Star Wars series bored me, Lego Batman bored me and I'm a big Batman fan, and Lego Indiana Jones bored me.
