Bethesda Softworks, a ZeniMax Media company, today announced that its best selling title, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Legend of Jack Sparrow, has been added to the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system's Greatest Hits program. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Legend of Jack Sparrow relives the action-packed adventures of Captain Jack Sparrow -- as only he can tell it -- and features voiceovers by Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow. The game is now available at retail outlets nationwide at a new suggested retail price of $19.99.

Offering a perfect blend of fast-paced action and adventure that captures the entertaining characters, settings, and spirit of the film, "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl," players assume the roles of Captain Jack Sparrow, Will Turner, and Elizabeth Swann. Players can hack and slash their way through a dozen locations with fully interactive environments and varied gameplay. The action takes place in a variety of lush, immersive settings, including burning buildings, wrecked ships, and moonlit caves.

"We are thrilled that Pirates of the Caribbean: The Legend of Jack Sparrow has been so enthusiastically received by consumers following its release last summer," said Vlatko Andonov, president of Bethesda Softworks, "The fact that the game has been added to the list of best-selling games for the PlayStation 2 system is a wonderful recognition of the legions of fans around the world who have enjoyed this entertaining title."

    That's actually kind of surprising. I had no idea that any video game did well that was made from a movie (except maybe Harry Potter and a few others). Nice find.

      Either did I, Movie licenses are usually very badly handled with a few exceptions, nice to see the game was good enough to sell so well.
