This was the first time the game crashed on me and I was only about 10 minutes into it. The game starts similar to Harry Potter, where it thrusts you into the gameplay after a lengthy cinematic (similar to past Lego games, you cannot skip cinematics when watching them in story mode for the first time) and starts you off as Will Turner in Port Royal before you have a short swordfight with Jack Sparrow, followed by a short cinematic and then teaming up. This is the tale of Captain Jack Sparrow. I can sum up the basic plot of this game in 4 lines if I so may. Needless to say, my expectations weren't that high when I popped the game into my 360, though I knew I'd probably have fun in the end. I in turn have also given in, and resigned myself to the fact that Lego Pirates of the Caribbean could very well be the same thing I saw come out of any number of packages over the last couple years. I'm sure cats figure out eventually that it's the same uncatchable object they're chasing, but they give in. Yet time and again, I'd be playing with the same thing. Time and again I get excited to see really neat franchises Lego-fied. We're cats, and the Lego game series has been our laser pointer. Cats always fall for and chase a laser pointer no matter how many times you do the exact same thing. With the internet continuing to provide us with a plethora of options for everything nowadays, and our collective attention spans dwindling in a whole, sometimes there's a shining beam of light there to capture our short attention spans with the same thing over and over again in a different tightly bundled package.
