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.

Description
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"
  • Fourth in the legendary Monkey Island series of graphic adventures!
  • An original, cinematic story full of drama, sociopathic parrots, and a villain with a sinister agenda!
  • Dozens of lusciously rendered backgrounds!
  • Hundreds of puzzles to challenge both novice and veteran pirates... er, adventurers!
  • New jokes! New puns! New insults! And more monkeys than the three previous Monkey games combined!

No remake.

And there's a reason there's no remake and never will be. Because the game just isn't good. The puzzles are tedious and boring and... ugh... monkey combat... THE worst segment in any adventure game EVER. I don't need to go on so I won't. It's just not a good game even though the voice talents from Curse of Monkey Island make an appearance here. It falls short in so many ways.

As awesome as the other MI games

This piece of art has definitely a way too bad reputation compared to the other games in the Monkey Island series. Ok, it's not Monkey Island 3, just live with that. But it still has an extremely comfortable atmosphere that feels very much the same as the other games. The music in MI4 is almost the best of all the games, at least the most catchy music. I totally love MI4 and I'm so happy it's on GOG since it's a pain to get it working on modern systems, if you don't use a virtual machine or something with WinXP installed. There are some lack of details compared to the other ones, but the 3D graphics by then was quite limited. Ignore all the negative feedback and buy this masterpiece!

Story is good, Mechanics not so much

I like Monkey Island but the way you control Guybrush in this game is bad.

Entertaining Enough

Movement is very annoying. Story is good. I had to use help for some puzzles.
