Engaging story, but useless controls

Unfortunaltely this episode of the Monkey Island saga lets itself be ridiculed by the period of its inception. The Sony Playstation had been around for a little while, and the likes of Silent Hill and Resident Evil had been created, and the developers (or maybe the publishres, we'll never know) thought it would be a great idea to jump on the band wagon... Wonderful story aside, I played this game the day it came out, and I still own the original CD and box... It lives in the loft in a long forgotten box as this chapter of the Monkey Island universe failed misserabley with me... Only alowing keyboard or controller use (from 3 tprevious titles were point & click, or point and use keyboard shortcuts) was jarring... The direction of your charecter between camera angles followed your controller/keyboard, not the direction you were travelling... a complete joke. I played this recently and gave up before the finalle, as I couldnt be bothered with the moemorrisation of "Monket Kombat"... I play Monkey Island games instead of others for a reason... Now it's done I'm glad I'm finished, and also glad that the developers only considered this in the saga as they're (badly executed) foray into geting the MI(tm) franchise into the early console market... Mouse and keyboard for the win...

Not really a Monkey Island game

The best thing about "Escape from Monkey Island" is that we can just pretend it never happened.

Skip this one!

Escape from Monkey Island moved the series away from the classic point-and-click mechanics of the previous games in the series and it wasn't a move for the better! In following the trend at the time, they made the game less enjoyable and more difficult to control. The trademark characters, writing and humour are all there, but the gameplay is clunky and therefore this is my least favourite game of the series. If you're a die-hard Monkey Island fan, and can live with the problems, then you'll probably still enjoy this title.

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!
