PotC: At World's End Amaze Entertainment

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End is a sequel to the previous PotC game I’ve worked on at Amaze Entertainment, and follows the plot of the Disney movie. This game, while still action adventure, featured significantly more platforming than its predecessor (hooking, sidling, rope swinging, climbing, etc., as well as two new minigames: Liar’s Dice and Dueling (which made heavy use of the Nintendo DS touch screen). Although this title did not feature a co-op mode, both of the minigames had multiplayer capability for local wireless play.
