Bad graphics, bad puzzles, bad writing.
Another review of this game here on GOG says that Escape from Monkey Island is to the Monkey Island series what King's Quest 7 was to the KIng's Quest series: people hated it initially, but after awhile a die-hard group of fans started defending its virtues. This is close to the truth, but note quite spot on. A more apt comparison would be that this game is like King's Quest EIGHT: a decent game in its own right, certainly one with a number of redeeming qualities, but not a game that deserves to (in ANY universe) be considered a part of the same series as the other games bearing the same name. -Sudden shift from 2D to 3D grahpics when the technology wasn't quite ready to handle the transition? Check. -Sudden change in gameplay style, including a number of puzzles that made absolutley no sense and could really only be solved by a truly mind-boggling feat of trial error? Check. -Sudden drop in the writing quality, including a certain level (very high, in the case of MI4) retconning of previous titles? Check. If it had been based on a different IP, this would've been a 3-star game. But as a Monkey Island game, it's just awful.
