Is this the same game as the console version?

No. It follows the same films and LEGO formula, but the DS version has fewer levels, simpler puzzles and different controls.

Can two people play together?

Yes. A second player can drop in and out on the same DS, but each player needs a copy of the game for local wireless play.

Which films does it cover?

Scenes from the first four Pirates of the Caribbean films, from The Curse of the Black Pearl through On Stranger Tides.

Does it work on a 3DS?

Yes. It is a DS cartridge, so it runs on DS, DS Lite, DSi and 3DS family systems.

Just the game cartridge. The box does not include extra accessories.

Is it good for young children?

Yes. The puzzles are simple and the LEGO humor is family-friendly, though reading-heavy menus may need help.
