No save option in game, instead you need passwords. If you think this game is like the old PC based Pirates Gold, you are wrong. This game is mission based and boring to this gamer seeking a portable Pirates Gold clone.

I like the game but is a little strange. There is also a strange easter egg too. Go to "continue game" and enter "L1TTLVN" to see a strange easter egg.

I bought this game for a long roadtrip, but was absolutly digusted in it. I though it would be fabulous because I luved the movie. But it wasn't. The only reason i gave this 2 stars was because the graphics were great. The players are slow moving, and it becaimes frustrating because the enemys move faster. Also they are hard to control. I often found myself hitting pillows and other vcarious objects around me in frustration. The levels are super easy. I returned it and got another one in hope that the game was just messed up and the charecters would move faster. HA HA they never did. it was basically a waste of money. I bought Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, and found it much better
NOTE: this probaly would work really well for younger people, but i am 14 and it wasn't to my tastes
Great for kids, older buyers beware - Review written on June 29, 2004

(...) That being said it's a fun game for kids, but us mid-20 somethings were disappointed. Game play cramped our fingers more than other GB games. Also, this game is not very reminiscent of the movie. The song from the ride is reproduced well and sounds really cool, but that novelty wore off by the 4th mission. Also, it's not very convenient to write down passwords with a portable game system and the password font is hard to decipher. Still, worth it for the right price. Most GB Advance games are meant for kids, so this one has a slightly more adult edge than most.
Great game for Pirate fans. - Review written on March 24, 2004

The graphics are great, and I thought the ones at sea were best. Although it is different from the movie, it has more characters and missions. There are 20 missions and most of them are pretty long. Jack doesn't look at all like the movie. Barbossa's men are almost indestructible. The passwords may be annoying but it is OK if you write them down. I am 9 years old and I spent 4 weeks allowance on this but it was well worth it.

If you are looking for a game with characters that look like the movie's, don't buy this one! The graphics are not that bad in general, but the character portrayals are awful. Some of the levels become boring after about a minute, if you are still playing the level at the end of a minute. If you want a game that follows the movie's story line, this is not the game for you.

A wonderful, compelling game - Review written on November 29, 2003

This is a great game with wonderful graphics. If the graphics are bad it must mean that your gameboy is screwed up. This compelling game grabbs you from your seat the moment you turn it on. It totally finishes off a wonderful movie. Not a waste of money!
Nothing Like The Movie Starring Johnny Depp, But Still Fun! - Review written on November 26, 2003

Rating: 3 out of 5

I was hoping that this action/adventure game would be based on the blockbuster film version that starred Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush, but I was greatly dissapointed. It's a bit silly and I'm still getting used to my new GBA that I got for my B-Day yesterday, but I know Video Games quite well. I'm still getting used to this mini game system as I said before, I'm so used to my Ps2, but the GBA doesn't let you down however! Although this game is cartoonish and cheesy and made for 8 and under, this 22 year old still finds it quite enjoyable when I'm bored. If you are expecting some awesome, eye popping adventure game then save your money and get it for PS2 instead. But if you just want some mindless, easy, cute fun while travelling or while waiting to catch a bus...then get this game, it's pretty cute!

I hate this game with a passion. I had expected somthing so much better seeing as how the movie was so good. But no, they don't even give Jack the right color bandana! And not just that they screwed up or are missing every major charactor, but the graphics are so bad, you can't tell friend from foe until they stab you. Please, please don't waste your money on this game. Not the advance version anyway.

When my brother bought the game I thought it looked interesting and started playing it as Jack Sparrow on the island where he was deserted by Barbossa and his crew. I wasn't too impressed by the way they portrayed Jack. Personally I am really bugged by when video games, books, etc. are not even close to the movie or wherever it orignated. The game itself is rather slow, and I got very bored with it. I haven't gotten very far because of the slow pace, but others may enjoy and play the game as much as the next person.

Ok yo wont waste your money buying this game, have good graphics,good control on the ground but when you are in the sea you may get confused with which cannon to fire also that also you get onfused which way to turn in the sea. A short but not bad history and the gameplay very cool you can fire cannons in the sea and have a swords duel in land but if you do not like to duel with swords you also have a pistol (but very limited ammo). The thing that I dont like is that you need to write passwords in order to resume the game (but not a problem). So give a chance to TDK you wont waste money.
