Players take on the role of Woody Two-Legs, an undistinguished pirate whose bad luck has taken a fortunate turn. Having just acquired a grand treasure, Woody aims to bury it on a remote island. However, before he can bury the treasure, it's original owner, Mr. Jones, along with his band of undead pirates, attempt to reclaim it. Viewed from an overhead perspective, users take control of Woody's pirate ship, firing cannons and activating special weapons in order to defeat waves of enemy pirates and boss characters. As the game progresses, the difficulty escalates gradually until peaking at Nightmare Mode with the battle against Mr. Jones. Woody Two-Legs: Attack of the Zombie Pirates also tracks high scores, posting the best to an online scoreboard. ~ Jonathan Sutyak, All Game Guide
