Escape from Monkey Island™

Yeah... maybe is not the best Monkey Island... but the game is a great adventure, a great sense of humor, very funny. It's a great game, I love it! It made me very happy that I can play it on Windows 10! I had it before and I enjoyed it very much. Graphics are great! The prerended backgrounds are a work of art Gameplay... It may fall short on gameplay but you can configure a controller and it plays great. but you have to define your buttons Enjoyment, I love it and if you want to introduce Monkey Island to someone, this one is a great way to do it.

This is the weakest game of the series so if you didn't play monkey island games please don't start with this one. It's only 3D adventure game in lucas arts MI universe and controls are similar to Grim Fandango. The good: main portagonist with ability to be in a wong place at a wrong time, monkey island feeling, arrrrrr pirates, funny characters, inasne logic to solving puzzles, great music. The bad: there are couple of puzzles that are completly illogical and will spoil overall experiance, monkey combat can be teadius at times and it's not as fun as insult swordfighting, sound effects during monkey combat can drive you crazy eek,aak etc.

Played it for the first time in 2023. I played all the previous entries about 15-20 years ago and wanted to complete the series. The game is not a disaster, but it is quite bland. It is rarely funny and the gameplay is quite tedious because of the 3D controls. A lot of characters from the previous entries make their appearance, but if you don't remember much about them, this is not great. Overall the game requires you to be quite familiar with the events, characters, story and puzzles from the other entries, which I think is a weakness. The graphics hold up nicely if you use mods. I used dgVoodoo to increase the resolution and apply antialiasing. Some of the puzzles don't really make sense or are poorly signaled. I admit that I used the Prima guide for about 10-15% of them. I recommend the game only for completionists.

Controls are terrible, funny story, nice graphics for the time, cheerful music. It would be nice to see a remake.
