About the Game

Spitting the sand of Monkey Island from my mouth, I wondered if the life of a mighty pirate was all it was cracked up to be. I'd ignored recent events that should have been warning shots across the bow of my soul, from my wife's brush with death to the anti-pirate ramblings of an Australian gazillionaire. If only I'd chosen a different path, LeChuck might still be dead and the Ultimate Insult might have remained a mystery. If I'd never picked up a sword, the grog-swilling pirates of the Tri-Island Area might be unthreatened by the forces of gentrification and demonic heckfire. If only... suddenly, the hairy finger of a familiar monkey tapped me on the shoulder. It was time. Time for the biggest battle of my swashbuckling life.

- Excerpted from "The Memoirs of Guybrush Threepwood: The Monkey Island Years"

I'm seeing this game get a lot of negative reviews and I thought I might give my 2 cents on this. In terms of a monkey island game, it's a really fun time. The writing is still as funny as ever and the puzzles are still

Love this game but as someone who's played both versions, I would recommend you play the PlayStation 2 version if you still have one. It almost feels like the game was designed for consoles (weirdly enough, Grim

Escape from Monkey Island is fine, but that’s exactly the problem. Most of the game is just okayish and it’s missing the heart and love that defined the earlier entries. The issue isn’t the controls for me, it’s the

Two words: Monkey Kombat. Honestly, apart from that, I actually really love this game. It's warm, zany and has nice music. I particularly like Luca Island's town ambient song. I just hum it away while I play. It rates

Fantastic. Once u get used to the controls, it is an amazing game. could even be one of the best in the series imo. Monkey Kombat is ok just difficult but if u write it down like i did its pretty easy.
