Facts from the source article.

Key facts and history

Because the home version lacks a mounted steering wheel, players rotate the controller clockwise or counterclockwise to turn.[2] The same reviewer stated the game can be beaten within 30 minutes.[3] Four stages must be completed to find the treasure, with enemies including undead pirates and other foes.[4] At the start of each stage, players can decide which stage to begin with, thereby controlling the order in which they progress through the game.[4]

For the PlayStation 3 version, the PlayStation Move controller must be calibrated each time the game starts up.[5]

What the cited sources add

The PlayStation 3 manual lists Deadstorm Pirates as one of three games included in the Time Crisis: Razing Storm compilation, alongside Time Crisis: Razing Storm and Time Crisis 4.[6] The manual's table of contents shows sections for calibrating controllers and controls.[6]
