Pirates of the Caribbean is to be released as a DVD game after Disney revealed plans to launch two of its most popular franchises onto the format.

With a 30 per cent growth expected in DVD games during 2007, Disney has expressed how keen it is to enter the market and revealed its first two titles will go on sale November 12.

In Pirates of the Caribbean, players are said to follow the plot of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, completing challenges in order to find the missing pieces of their map and locate the hiding places of Lors Cutler Beckett.

The firm is also releasing High School Musical, where singing, dancing and successfully answering general knowledge questions results in winning a place in the high school musical.

Caroline Burchett, Assistant Brand Manager at Disney, said: "The easy-to-use format of these games is likely to be a great success with parents who won't have to spend on the latest games consoles, and will ensure its appeal above and beyond the youth market.

"This is the perfect opportunity for us to display our innovative approach to the Home Entertainment industry by converting some of our most popular film franchises to this format."
