A wonderful finale to a great series!
The Secret of Monkey Island and LeChuck's Revenge are both legendary adventure games, so you may be thinking, "Oh no... I hope they don't screw this up!"... Well, worry no longer! Let's just get this out of the way first: the art style -- I'll be frank: it's not my favourite art style ever. But... It's very well-done technically, and honestly, it grows on you after a while, and you learn to appreciate how well it suits the overall tone of the game. But the graphics are just one piece of the puzzle, because you're in for a real treat with the music... Michael Land returns to lay down the same kind of amazing soundtrack that helped make the first 2 games so memorable, and the voice acting is outstanding. Dominic Armato reprises his role as our favourite wannabe pirate (As far as I'm concerned, he is the one-and-only true voice of Guybrush Threepwood, full stop). The story and writing is overflowing with charm, humour, and even a fair share of truly heart-touching or "aww"-inducing moments. And it does this without ever feeling long-winded or boring. And finally, the best for last -- the puzzles! Just... oh... wow... the puzzles... I don't know if I've ever played an adventure game with better puzzle design! Almost every adventure game has at-least one puzzle that veers into Moon Logic (I'm looking at you, "monkey wrench" puzzle from MI2), but not this one. The puzzles are challenging but never unfair, and not once did I ever have to resort to "click everything on everything" -- I was always able to figure it out. Of course, if you do get stuck, the game has a built-in hint system that gives you increasingly revealing hints. I can't recommend this game enough. If you loved the first 2 games, you'll love this. If you just love good adventure games in general, this is a great one. Enjoy -- I can't wait to play this through again :D
