looks rough at times, at least the PS2 version (Bethesda
wasn't showing the PC iteration), but only as far as the
graphics are concerned. In terms of the gameplay, it looks

the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, so it doesn't attempt
anything dramatically different for hardcore gamers, but
movie fans should find the action fulfilling.

Pokemon, this is most certainly the direction the PSP's UMDs
should have taken.
