From one loose movie tie-in to another this week. But the Lego Pirates of the Caribbeanis a lot more fun. It spans the events of the first three Piratesfilms before moving on to the latest addition, On Stranger Tides. Scenes from the films have been recreated using the block characters and Lego-inspired environments, providing a pleasant diversion from the swashbuckling and puzzle solving, if only for the novelty value of seeing a Lego Jack Sparrow swaggering around. Like other Lego titles, Lego Piratesis colourful, fun and addictive; there's plenty to keep you busy, and it has serious family appeal.
