Make sure to consult your instruction manual and get a grasp for the basics before proceeding. Since this is a multi-platform title, an explanation of specific controls would be useless. Before following the party into the cave, walk around the beach and get a hang for the controls. Get up off the ground and take a look around. When you arrive on shore, you'll finally be given control of Jack. Your small boat will automatically be rowed towards the gloomy-looking island ahead, while your ship and the ships accompanying you avoid falling debris from the island while braving the stormy ocean. On your boat in your party you'll also find three important characters to the game - Carl, Ann, and Hayes. As we begin the first stage of the game, you'll find your character, Jack, on a small boat.
