Menus and gameplay are in Multi-3 (English, French & Spanish).

This action-adventure game plays out in a Caribbean of legend, where lost treasures and voodoo curses steer the destinies of rebellious heroes and greedy villains. Gameplay features real-time sword-fighting, 3D platforming, Tomb Raider-style environmental puzzles, and exploration of 18 freely roamed West Indian locations.

Players take the role of Francis Blade, who stumbles upon the magic amulet of the "Black Buccaneer" while marooned on a desert island. Much more than a sinisterly shaped hunk of gold, the amulet is bound to the ghostly essence of the frightening rouge for whom it is named, and coveys to its bearer both his magic powers and his ruinous curse. Francis embarks on an epic journey to save his new ghostly companion -- as well as himself -- from eternal damnation.

Features:
* Play as Francis and the Black Buccaneer himself
* Explore the island while overcoming enemies and discovering hidden quests and areas of the map
* Upgrade your skills and abilities such as damage and speed by using Voodoo powers
