I got a chance to play jjpirates a handful of times at the Louisville show this weekend. Very disappointed in the gameplay, clunkiness, and lack of clips on the screen. It was not my cup of tea, I'll just say that. I went to the pirates seminar by the programmer and my takeaway was Disney would not let them use movie clips with actors, or they would have. Hence we get flavorless modes and very few clips (I feel like clips are appreciated by other players while they wait their turn).
I suggest everyone tries this game if possible before buying.
