GWC: It’s easy to see where Pirates PlundARRR gets its inspiration from. Featuring a beat-em-up style game play, coupled with unlockable characters, changeable weapons and the ability to level up, you end up with Castle Crashers with pirates.
Pirates Plundarrr is a solid game for anyone looking for a co-op brawler to play with friends. You might find the experience a little too difficult if you’re by yourself, but it can be done and you’ll be extremely satisfied with yourself if you can finish it. It’ll take somewhere between eight and nine hours to finish the story and you can go back and revisit any level previously played.
GamerVision: Looking at Pirates Plund-arr from a distance, it appears to be full of good ideas. It's a game made in the style of The Behemoth's Castle Crashers, a title that never made its way to the Wii. This, when mixed with the budget price of $29.99, made it instantly an appealing product. Promises of hectic, four-player battles, a lengthy campaign, and some silly, pirate-y adventures made it appear to be the perfect title for Wii owners itching for some beat-em-up action.
CSM: The buccaneers of PIRATES PLUNDARRR lose their newly acquired treasure -- a gold key with legendary powers -- to a thieving sea dog named Rudebelly and must pursue the villain across several monster-filled islands to get their loot back.
