LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean isn't a perfect game, but it's certainly a return to the excellent form of the original games in the LEGO series. However, leave it to a bunch of bloody pirates to make the series feel fresh and new again. The formula is getting a bit old, and the charm of even the stalwart LEGO Star Wars series is wearing thin. It's not that I don't love LEGO games, but the series as a whole seems to have been lagging in quality lately. However, when I heard that the series was going to be getting the LEGO-ization treatment, I couldn't help but be a little nervous. I've always loved the Disney park ride, the movies inspired me throughout my high school and college years, and I am dying with anticipation for the fourth entry in the movie series to premiere later this month. Pirates of the Caribbean has a pretty good history with me.
