The worst of all Monkey Island games :(
Irritating controls, 3D that did not aged well & too many not logical puzzles. Still playable, but I'd choose any other Monkey Island game.

Underrated Monkey Island Game
Though the Monkey Island series is beloved, this entry often gets a bad rap. I'm going to disagree with that in this review. I'll start off by conceding the two obvious drawbacks. First of all, the game looks terrible, especially today. With the previous installment, Curse of Monkey Island, the series moved to a cartoon aesthetic that never ages and added a lot to the already great atmosphere. This game decided to move to 3D: perhaps a logical decision in 2000, when this was where the innovation winds were blowing, but in retrospect it was a mistake. The backgrounds look weird and fake, and the character models, though suitably expressive and cartoony, arguably look even worse. Next up, the controls are clunky and annoying: if you've played Grim Fandango you'll definitely recognize them- and you should note that that game had an IMPROVED version of the controls scheme here. Ouch. But, both of these deficiencies are easily overcome and only take about an hour of getting used to. What remains unchanged is the focus on hilarious dialogue and story, colorful characters and fun, out-of-the-box puzzles. I would honestly say that if this game were made in the style of the previous Monkey Island, it would be one of the best entries in the series. The story is decidedly more political, but worry not: it takes a satirical approach. It lampoons the democratic process and the influence of capitalism, with its presentation of soulless chain restaurants and mass-produced souvenirs that should feel familiar to anyone living in a modern Western country. Overall, the game has a good balance of paying homage to developments in the previous installments, while still telling its own unique and fun story. It also has, like the previous game, a killer soundtrack that you don't get sick of and superb voice acting that really brings the humour home. So: far from perfect, but much better than usually given credit for. Give it a try!

Broken code
The controls and keybinding system is a broken mess. You can't use whatever keys you like, for starters, whether the game tells you it's an "invalid key!" or just doesn't tell you anything at all. You can reassign the Default Action to a key of your choosing, but that key is ignored when you actually play the game. It's only honored in the main menu. What's the point of that? And then there's the killer feature: when you assign this default action to e.g. "U" you lock yourself out of ever changing the controls again because you won't be able to enter the submenu to configure keys! In fact you will hardly be able to change any option ever again unless you figure out that you can press multiple keys at once to work around it. If they're going to sell old wrecks like these, then they should at least make the source code available to GOG or others so that it can be fixed.

The worst one of the four games.
The puzzles are not as intresting as in the first or second game. The insult system comes back ONLY for onte time and teases you later in the game without any results. There are to many and to long cut scenes, especialy in the end of the game. But the worst thing is the 3-D layout and the controls. That is just awful. Using a joypad or keyboard for controls are VERY frustrating. Lucasarts thought they created Super Mario 64, but they was instead trying to imitate LJN.

Besser als sein Ruf
Damals in 2000 war ich mächtig enttäuscht von dem Spiel, da es nicht in die Fußstapfen der fantastischen Vorgänger treten konnte. Letztlich scheiterte ich am Monkey Combat und konnte das Spiel nie beenden ... bis heute... Kürzlich im Sale gekauft, gab ich dem Spiel eine neue Chance - zu meiner Überraschung hat es mir Spaß gemacht und ich habe auch den Abspann gesehen. Steuerung: Die Steuerung ist nicht optimal, aber weit weg von unspielbar. Verändert am besten die Tastenbelegung, es braucht etwas um das Optimum zu finden, dann geht's ziemlich gut Grafik: 3D altert nicht gut, aber auf Grund der Comic-Grafik ist es auch heute noch ansehnlich. Im Internet gib't den EMIlauncher. Damit kann man die Einstellungen überschreiben und immerhin in höherer Auflösung spielen Sound: Es ist MI. Der unwiderstehliche Soundtrackt macht Laune. Sogar meine Freundin die noch nie was von MI gehört hat, summt die Titelmelodie auf einmal aus heiterem Himmel Rätsel: Die Kür eines jeden Adventures. Manche Rätsel sind leider unlogisch, die Frustmomente halten sich aber in Grenzen. Ich war überrascht, wie komplex die meisten Kopfnüsse sind, das oben zitierte Monkey Combat erfordert es sich Papier und Stift zu nehmen und Tabelle zu führen, sonst ist es nicht schaffbar - schwer aber logisch! Alles in allem ein Hit mit leichten Abstrichen gegenüber den Vorgängern. Es ist etwas schwerer, man muss sich Zeit nehmen, auch mal Notizen machen und gut überlegen - eben doch ein Adventure alter Schule. Der Humor kommt auch heute nicht zu kurz
