Disney Interactive Studios and TT Games have announced they are working with The LEGO Group to bring Jack Sparrow and other familiar characters to life in LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game.

The new game is being developed by TT Games, the same people behind the best-selling LEGO video games, and will incorporate storylines, locations and characters from the first three films as well as the upcoming fourth film, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.

Players can take on the roles of more than 70 characters and relive moments from the movies through action-adventure gameplay and quirky LEGO cutscenes which span 20 levels. The game will also feature a two-player cooperative mode.

LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game for Wii, Xbox 360, PS3, PSP, PC and the “Nintendo DS family of hand-held systems” will be released simultaneously with Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides in May 2011.

The LEGO video games have always faired better when utilising existing movie storylines, so we’re quite optimistic about LEGO Pirates. The eccentric personality of Jack Sparrow should also lend itself well to the charms of LEGO.
