Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End Hands-On

You've got to hand it to that Jack Sparrow. Even after a giant kraken burps up half of the digested crew of the Black Pearl in his face, the scallywag still manages to find his way into a third Pirates of the Caribbean flick and the licensed movie-game.

Hey, we're not complaining. We haven't seen so wily a character as Jack, played with over-the-top panache by the exceptional Johnny Depp, in a long while. In Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, the upcoming swashbuckler from Disney Interactive Studios, Sparrow is re-created in fine form, thanks to a bang-up facial scan. Disney enlisted Industrial Light and Magic to help with the characters, and you'll instantly recognize almost all the major players from the films: Elizabeth Swann, Will Turner, Davy Jones (looks great), the crew of the Pearl and Jones's crew of underwater sea villains, including the first mate hammerhead.

At World's End spans both Dead Man's Chest and the upcoming summer blockbuster of the same name, and we recently got to play through a few levels from the first half of the game. Disney was tight-lipped on the levels inspired by the third movie. If you check out the trailer here, you can bet Jack and company will visit some exotic locales like the Far East, navigate past giant icebergs, and shoot cannonballs. Lots of cannonballs.
