Gameplay
Players select to play as one of two pirates, Eric and Leah, who are members of a crew looking for a lost treasure, Poseidon's Breath. To find this treasure, players must complete 4 stages fighting against undead pirates and other enemies. Players use a recoling light gun and mounted steering wheel to eliminate enemies and navigate past obstacles. Players choose which stage to start at the beginning of each stage, allowing players to choose in what order traverse through the game.
The game also offers two player co-op as well.
Reception
Reviews of the PlayStation 3 version have ranged from average to positive reviews. Reviewer Jack O'Neill gave the game 6 out of 10, not bad, citing that the game fills a void in the pirate-themed video game genre. This reviewer noted that the light gun controls with the Move controller are responsive and accurate, but that the controls are limited to shooting and steering only. The game's short length also received criticism, with O'Neill stating that it can be beaten within 30 minutes. Other reviewers also stated that the game was quite fun and added great value to the Time Crisis: Raising Storm bundle, but didn't seem worth it on its own due to its simplicity and short length.
