Pirates: The Key of Dreams

"This game is a little light on energy – even the voice actor recorded for the only pirate-themed voice sample seems a little bored – and the design is drawn out to boring levels in the single player. The multiplayer is promising but its flaws are too huge to ignore."

"Pirates: The Key of Dreams is really a mixed bag. If you're looking for a single player game, you will come away severely disappointed. It's just not long enough to warrant the high price tag of 1000 Wii Points. It's also too repetitive, short lived and there is no reason to go back to it. If you're looking for a multiplayer game, then the battle mode is actually relatively decent, especially if you turn the turbo mode on to make everything go super fast. Overall, Pirates doesn't really sink, but it only just manages to swim! We recommend you save your pieces of eight for something better."
