The Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3 system versions of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End feature high-definition graphics and sound while inviting players to venture throughout the Caribbean and beyond with swashbuckling combat, exploration throughout environments and classic duelling. The Xbox 360 version features an assortment of challenging achievements for more advanced players and a leader board to globally compare in-game notoriety tallies. The PLAYSTATION 3 system version makes use of the SIXAXIS wireless controller's motion-sensing technology for beam balance mechanics.

For the Wii version, the Wii Remote allows players to slash and thrust in combat, mimicking the motions of an actual sword. Players will also be able to grab enemies by shaking the Wii Nunchuk. When playing the Wii, PlayStation 2 system, PSP system and Windows PC versions, players will take down opponents as they learn new combinations and special moves. Once a level is completed, players can choose among more than 50 unlockable characters to use as their controllable character for expanded replayability when they play levels again.
