[edit] Storyline
The game is unique in that the entire story is told through flashbacks and (exaggerated) recollections by Jack Sparrow, when he and Will are facing the gallows and Jack is looking for a way to escape. Among the stories were how Jack sacked Nassau Port without firing a shot and how he escaped from the desert island on the backs of sea turtles. Many of the stories are greatly exaggerated to add excitement for the game, such as meeting frozen Norse Warriors or fighting a Chinese sorceress.
