Pirates Plundarrr
SCORE: 62
There are two major camps in video games that immediately get the
attention of gamers. Those camps are ninjas, and pirates. Can you guess
which one Pirates Plundarrr falls under? I think most everyone can
figure it out. Pirates Plundarrr is a Final Fight kind of game, which
means you have have a character and fight hordes of bad guys.
Occasionally a boss comes along, and the player has to be more
strategic. If this sounds like a daunting task, don't worry because four
friends can get together and quest as a group.
Pirates Plundarrr contains bright colors that are very crisp and clear.
The artistic style of the little characters gives a real cartoon feel to
it. Which is nice because the main theme of Pirates Plundarrr is to hack
and slash your enemies till they fall apart. Pirates Plundarrr has a
real haunted feel to it, with quite a few ghost, and skeleton
characters. Enemies will fall apart, and then the pieces will vanish on
the ground. The action can get intense in this game with all kinds of
enemies all over the screen.
I really enjoyed the music in Pirates Plundarrr. It fits the theme of
this Wii game, and it brings a real cheery feel. The downside to Pirates
Plundarrr is some of the language. Be sure to pay attention to the E10+
rating at a bare minimum. The storyline of Pirates Plundarrr revolves
around getting the treasure of the traitor Rudebelly.
Pirates Plundarrr has enough levels to keep most gamers busy for weeks.
The longer you play this Wii game, the more characters and content you
get to unlock. Trust me Pirates Plundarrr contains a good amount of
unlockable content. Pirates Plundarrr is a bargain priced game that many
gamers will find worth the price of admission.
The controls are pretty simple in Pirates Plundarrr. Hold the Wii Remote
sideways, use the '1' button to jump, and the '2' button to attack. Hold
down the '2' button to charge an attack, and then release it to send it
on. The D-pad is used to move the character around. The movements are
very slick, and quick. Players can level up skills to improve their
characters.
I am amazed at how easily the bad character in Pirates Plundarrr can
summon all kinds of evil characters to fight for him. The lengthy amount
of violence in Pirates Plundarrr made me feel pretty numb to people
actually hurting in the real world. This is a really scary thought when
I realized it. It was a chore for me to play and review Pirates
Plundarrr on the Wii.
