Pirates of the Caribbean: The Legend of Jack Sparrow is a video game by 7 Studios for the PS2 and PC.

[edit] Storyline
The game begins with Jack Sparrow and Will trying to steal an object from a Spanish fortress. They are double-crossed and captured. While facing the gallows, and while Jack looks for an escape route, he begins to retell some of his stories to Will, albeit exaggerated and not completely honest. These stories include how Jack sacked Nassau Port without firing a shot; how he escaped from the desert island on the backs of sea turtles; how he fought a Chinese sorceress named Madame Tang; encountered a legion of frozen Norse warriors; visited the Arctic; and a complete retelling of Curse of the Black Pearl, complete with sequences that never happened and lines that were never said.
