The Curse of Monkey Island™

This game is like fine wine or whiskey. Even though its been years. I think the animation still holds up and ages well. I played this like 15 years ago. I play it again now and then for the memories and its still good. Get it on sale or whatever, Just try it one time. Fun for all ages. Its a sit back and chill kind of game.

...but in a good way. Overall a great story line, wonderful voice acting and liked the animation...just a good looking game. Enjoyed most of the puzzles, but some of the solutions are so obscure that I had to cheat in a few spots. I'm up for a challenge, but some of the solutions are just so challenging as to be plain frustrating rather than fun. NEVER would have solved some of them. Overall though, a fun game with some good comic relief and worth buying.

This game is a part of my childhood (12) so this is going to be a partially biased review, though objectively this is one of the best point & click adventure games out there with its witty humor and unique artstyle that ultimately make it a timeless classic. You could argue that the previous entries in the series were better, but I started with this one (1 & 2 would come years later when they were remastered) and for me it kickstarted my love for point & click adventures. The conversations with Murray alone makes me want to give it 5 stars. Escape was the one I had a problem with, due to it ditching its cartoony handrawn(?) artstyle for 3D models and controller based controls. It is also the one that now looks and feels very aged because of it. They should really remake it and do it right.

That is all.

MONKEY ISLAND 3 = LIFE MURRAY! = ROLLING THROUGH THE GATES OF HELL!
