I've played so many gameboy games over the past 2 years, this version of Pirates is one of the best. This game is geting so hard to find. In this game you play Jack Sparrow fighting your way out of a dungeon. You find your ship and sail to 15 islands. On those islands you have about 4 to 6 stages, they're mini dungeons. As you swordplay with your enemies you collect gold coins which you use to upgrade your sword and ship.Did I mention the hidden treasure chests all around the islands? These chest hold valuable relics and weapons. Need help finding those chests? Hang out at the Island pub and gossip with the locals. Did I mention the sea battles?Here's your chance to pillage a burning ship and use silverware for your cannons. The sound effects are great with the clashing of swords and the final "urgh" from your enemies. Honestly, this GBA version of Dead Man's Chest was better thatn the DS version. Don't even think about getting the other Pirates of the Caribbean GBA,The Black Pearl...it requires you to write down a password in order to resume play...terrible.Have fun with this game, fightin' and sailin' and huntin' treasure, ARRRRUGH matey.

My son and I both play this game. It is more challenging for me than it is him. We really enjoy it. It is a little harder than I thought it would be. I don't recommend it for a small child because of the complexity. My son is 10 and hard enough for him.

This game is really fun. If you like pirates, all the better. You can do fights at sea on the Black Pearl or on land as Jack Sparrow. You navigate to different islands using Jack's compass. There are small details that are important such as on the compass there is something to tell you which way the wind blows so that you will know which way your ship will move the fastest. Another of these little details is the characters you fight as Jack. It is challenging and different from other gameboy games. Sometimes it is more like a maze than a platform game. There are enough levels to keep you challenged and entertained for lots of play. I am 11 and even my older brother really likes this game.

Got this for my nearly 7 year old and he won't put it down, even though he really struggles with some parts of it. He loved the movies and really enjoys working Jack Sparrow's sword. If you have kids that like the movie the game will be a hit.

my grandson is infatuated with the pirates and actually went on a cruise with my son and daughter-in-law on a pirate ship..he loves this game so much..
