Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl is a 2003 video game prequel to the film of the same name.

Storyline

Just like the film, Jack Sparrow fails to listen to Barbossa and walks the plank. He then ends up in a jungle, later finding himself in Port Royal, fighting people such as British Soldiers and pirates along the way.

Gameplay

The player plays as Captain Jack Sparrow and cannot save their progress, instead the player must keep track of passwords that show up at the end of each level. At certain levels, Jack will control a ship and engage in battle with other ships at points.
