The Curse of Monkey Island™

I loved this game more than 20 years ago and I still do now. Whenever I get the chance to choose the original VO to the German dubbed version, I usually pick English. The Curse of Monkey Island is one of very few exceptions because the German localization (VO and text) is superb! The puzzles tend to get a bit wacky but never frustrating. The small arcade part in the middle of the game didn't really bother me as you can decide whether you want it to be easy or challenging. Everything else is just a joy to play for my adventure heart. The story, the characters, the locations, the art style, the dialogues... TCoMI manages to get pretty much everything right. Even all those 25 year old jokes work today as they did then. The graphics still hold up to this day but I wouldn't mind getting a remastered version with higher resolution options. Anyways, I just finished this game for the fifth time and every playthrough gives me that same warm feeling of contentment. If you're only remotely interested in adventure games, this is a must-play!

With great cartoon graphics, colorful backgrounds and wonderful music this is easily my favorit MI. Although I like all of them (and both the old and new versions of MI 1, 2) this one stands out. The intro alone is worth it, which is a very well done cartoon animation. There are lots of original puzzles and yes you might need a walkthrough some times (at least I did). But overall I had lots of fun with it. I only played the mega monkey edition (with more puzzles). Must have for any budding pirate.

... and I loved it! If you played the previous 2 titles you know what to expect. Humorous sometiems verbose dialogues, with witty puzzles beautiful art design and music. The music score is one of the best I must say. You can see whole lot of people playing on guitar on youtube. You know it's hard to bring back the time these types of games were a mandatory for gamers. You can bring back time with this masterpiece and with less or no violence I can recommend it for young folks!

Its been nearly 20 years since I first played Curse. Came across it looking for something to play with my girl that would keep her attention. Que Guybrush. I could remember doing some of the puzzles but they still were knew. My girl and I had a great time playing and highly recomend any couple looking to work together and have a great laugh doing it!

I have been waiting for you to rerelease this here for some time. One of my favorites in the series. I stll have the cds of this game but in this day and age computers have so much hard drive space and discs can wear out whereas digital copies are installed completely on the hard drive and you don't have to wait for the cd to load. Anyway enough rambling about that. This game is great it has the same witty dialogue and gameplay as the others in the series. When this first came out this was a huge change in graphical design for the series as the first and second were pixellated and this one is in a cartoony style but it fits for this series. Also this is the first one that gave all the main characters iconic voices. They were so iconic they brought back the people that voiced them to do the voices in the Secret of Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2. Let's also talk about the voice acting of secondary characters one of particular note is Alan Young I don't need to tell you what character he plays in the game it is instantly recognizable to anyone who watched Ducktales growing up. Anyway enough rambling buy this game now if you still have the discs buy it again cause like I said discs can wear out.
