“What do you think of the game?”, I asked. “Good isn’t it?”
“Yeah, it’s good.”, he replied. “But I think I prefer Lego Pirates of the Caribbean. It’s more for my age group.”
This struck me as really quite profound. Could it be that we adults are so wrapped up in our own preconceptions and our own videogame preferences, that we’ve arrogantly assumed that children would be interested in the same types of ultra-violence that regularly top the game charts?
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."
TechRaptor's pick for 6 underappreciated pirate games of various genres including point and click, management sim, hidden object and action adventure.
Pirates plunder for Windows 95. Wish someone would bring that game back, would be great for a. Cellphone game
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 Pirates is fun. I play a crap ton of core game across all 4 platforms, but I still enjoy Lego titles.
The newest Star Wars III game was mediocre, minus cool force and jedi moves, but I really enjoyed the orignal SW, Batman, Indy and of course my favorite LEGO HARRY POTTER which is just beyond one of the best casual/core games I have played. Me and wife love this game to death. layed the heck out of it and really want to get the second one.
I wish they hadnt cancelled Armada of the Damned.
