Game Rant's Jeff Schille writes: "All hands on deck! Is ‘LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game’ worth its weight in Aztec Gold, or should it walk the plank? Check out our full review for the final word."
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!"
Platinumed LEGO POTC lastnight and I'd say it ranks up there with LEGO Harry Potter as far as quality goes, but it's still just another same ol' LEGO game with few improvements. Great if you're a LEGO fan or a POTC fan (like me), but not much different than the old LEGO Star Wars games that have been out for years.
