Compatible with both newer iPod classic and iPod nano devices as well as the older fifth-generation iPod with video, the new game is based on a new story set in the Pirates of the Caribbean movie trilogy's universe.
Players chiefly engage in ship-to-ship combat over the course of 30 missions and are encouraged to use the iPod's click wheel as though it were a boat's steering wheel.
Gamers can also upgrade their ship and bring on well-known characters from the movies as crew members, Apple says.
The game is priced at the same $5 as for all iPod titles and is only the second game based on an outside movie or TV license, the other being an adaptation of ABC's ongoing Lost TV show.

Last week I traded in my old 30GB iPod Photo (4G) for a used 80GB iPod video (5.5G) (plus some cash of course). Finally no more choosing which songs to leave out.
I haven't bought a game for it yet, but want to, if for nothing more than to just to have one. I was going to get the LOST game, but now this Pirates game. Any one have a comparison of the two in review?
Wow, how many games is that? I'm looking forward to some cool stuff coming out for the touch devices.
Is it too much to ask a company to actually release something more to the beginning of a month than the very end of it when they announce something. You know what I mean. "We at Apple will be releasing an SDK for the iPhone and iPod Touch by February 2008". So we all expect it. Now I don't know about you but when someone says by a date I expect it to be before that actual date or at the very least on that date. So really we should be expecting it around the 1st of Feb 2008 at the very latest. Oh wait that date has already gone. No SDK, No legit third party apps. No word from Apple. I mean to way WHAT THE HEY!.
However it is just an iPod touch and I do have other games on my phone, MacBook, iMac and XBOX 360 I can play. I really shouldn't complain.
PS. WHERE IS MY SDK..... I really need some anger management.
i hear both this game and the LOST game suck horribly. they also look terrible.
i'd go with peggle, minigolf, yahtzee, and zuma in that order. i have them all and they are all extremely entertaining.
but then again, it all depends on who you are and what you like.
just go through the reviews in the itunes store on each game and decide for yourself.
Thanks for the suggestions...I read some reviews and couldn't decide. I'll try peggle! But I am a LOST fan....
