Each of those stages is bursting at the seams with collectibles, tons of characters to acquire and piles of Lego studs used to buy even more unlockables. The entire game covers all four movies in the series, including the just released “On Stranger Tides.” We get five rather sizeable stages for each flick, strung together by the always funny, always pantomimed cutscenes to fill in the plot gaps. In Lego Pirates of the Caribbean, developer Traveller’s Tales has once again returned to this fertile ground but once again improved and refined its’ formula. No, the Lego games are defined by the tropes they return to again and again. Of course while each game has seems to have gotten consistently better, that doesn’t mean they’ve thrown out the Lego handbook to brave new ground. It’s too the point now where we’re seeing multiple Lego game releases per year, which could turn into a major issue except that the games are getting better. Movies ( LEGO Star Wars), Comics ( LEGO Batman), existing music games ( LEGO Rock Band), you name it. These days it would seem no franchise is safe from getting the ‘ol Lego makeover. The results are as whimsical and fun as ever. It’s flamboyantly overacted and much heavier on style than story, but it’s this irreverent style that lends itself perfectly to receiving the Lego treatment from perennial Lego game creators Traveller’s Tales.
