Quoted from JamCat:Some are misunderstanding me on the linear aspect. Each of the golden tickets would be structured like the 5 movies in POTC so you could play any of them and stack the multiballs etc. I’m just saying that each ticket could have modes and multiballs that correspond to each kid to give a variety of experiences and a framework to make the callouts and movie scenes more cohesive.
However, you are correct that the game is not bad as is. I enjoy playing it once in awhile on location but it doesn’t give me any connection to the film or that, “have to have it” feeling. I still feel a little letdown. The good news is that JJP makes plenty of other amazing games that I will collect up over time.
I like the way the game shoots, but code is tough. It’s not at all intuitive what to shoot for, not clear how to collect golden tickets or start some modes. Could have been a lot better, like you said, more like potc. I’ve had the game about a year, still haven’t fully figured it out.
