Play Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest (J)(WRG) Online

Buena Vista Games released Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest for the Nintendo DS in 2006, a time when movie tie-ins were a common sight on the handheld. It arrived amidst a sea of licensed games, aiming to capture the swashbuckling spirit of the film on the dual screen hardware.

You primarily control Jack Sparrow, navigating through screen by screen environments like Port Royal streets and the decks of the Black Pearl. The main goal involves unraveling a new story while fending off the crew of the Flying Dutchman. Signature mechanics include stylus driven sword combat, where you slash and parry by drawing lines on the touch screen, and first person cannon segments where you aim and fire at enemy ships. The pacing is brisk, though some sections can feel repetitive, and the difficulty has occasional spikes. It feels like a condensed, interactive piece of pirate mischief, even if it sometimes struggles to keep its footing.
