Curse of Monkey Island (PC) Reviews

This is my favourite game of all time. If you like games that make you use your brain to solve puzzles then this is the one for you. The graphics are excellent and it is just like watching a cartoon. The game also has a lot of humour. The main character is Guybrush Threepwood who has to find a way of removing a curse from his girlfriend who ...  Read the complete review

(THIS REVIEW CAN ALSO BE FOUND ON WWW.UK.BEST-PRICE.COM) To tell you right from the start: I am not a gamer. I never played computer games. I never wanted to play them ;) but then one day it was my 24th birthday and my boyfriend had this cd-like present for me. I opened it and held in my hands the Monkey Island game for Windows. ...  Read the complete review

Yes, still an oldie but i have a little obsession with the Monkey Island series at the moment, and feel that i should give this one a try, considering i enjoyed the memories (of the weekend) of looking back on the Secret of Monkey Island. Story. ****** First off i'd like to explain the story. Guybrush Threepwood loves ...  Read the complete review

I loved this game and think it's the best one of the Monkey Islad series. Background Once again you take on the role as Guybrush Threepwood who is still desperately in love with Elaine. Yet again, his arch enemy, LeChuck, is brought back from the dead and wants revenge on the young pirate. You start off in LeChuck's ...  Read the complete review

This is my favourite PC game of all time. Firstly, I recommend you play the also excellent Monkey Island 1 and 2 before this - the game will still be great without them, but it will help to play them in chronologival order. The Graphics - Many people complained that that the graphics were so different from the first two games, ...  Read the complete review

The Curse of Monkey Island is the third of the series and is just as good as 1 and 2, maybe better. The main character is Guybrush Threepwood who is much nicer than your box standard pirate. After escaping from a shipwreck Guybrush manages to turn his fiancée into a solid gold statue who then gets kidnapped by the evil zombie pirate Le ...  Read the complete review

This is the third game in the Monkey Island series and goes along much the same lines as the other two. The plot is a continuation from the previous games, but makes perfect sense on its own. In the Curse of Monkey Island Guybrush Threepwood is the unlikely hero who is trying to save fiancee from the evil LeChuck, who was thought to be ...  Read the complete review

Avast ye scurvy dogs! Swap the decks, shiver me timbers, walk the plank and bone the cabin boy because after a five year gap Guybrush Threepwood pirate wannabee extraordinaire is back for another swashbuckling adventure. Prepare to laugh your butt off. It had been 5 long years before The Monkey Island series gained its 3rd instalment, ...  Read the complete review

Would you read this opinion because of the name of the game? Would you buy the game because you thought the name was funny? Or did you simply hear about it and want it? So , what is it? Is it a game where there is an island and whenever you go there Monkeys curse you? Or is it a rubbish game with a stupid name to attract people to it? ...  Read the complete review

The Curse of Monkey Island is a compelling, funny, and intelligent adventure from start to finish. You are Guybrush Threepwood once again and must get together a crew of mighty pirates who are willing to venture off to the dreaded Blood Island in hopes of turning your true love, Elaine, a now golden statue, back to normal, while fending off ...  Read the complete review

Once in a while a game comes out that, whilst still being a game, can take a step back, look at itself and realise that games aren’t just about ultra-realistic simulations, picture perfect graphics and serious plotlines. The Curse of Monkey Island is one of those games, and I love it. Humour is the vital element of the Monkey Island ...  Read the complete review

I don’t know how to describe this game let me start with I don’t know brilliant. This game is as good even better than the first two (which I have also written reviews on). It features the same main character, I say main character because this game runs like a cartoon, Guybrush Threepwood what a name. The basic story line ...  Read the complete review

This game is both absolutely hysterical and astonishing. The graphics are great, the acting is amazing, and the humor will make you laugh until you burst into tears. Here's the plot. Guybrush Threepwood gets taken prisoner by his archenemy the zombie-pirate LeChuck. He soon finds a way off the ship after cutting a hole in a window with a ...  Read the complete review

This is one of the best games I've ever played. It revoles around a character called "Guy" in a time of pirates and tresure. But don't think this is a game just for kids because some of the puzzles may take you ages to solve and the humour level is brilliant. It is unbelievable how funny some of the conversations ...  Read the complete review

Out of all the Monkey Island titles in the series, this one seems a bit... well... odd. I quite like the olde graphics displayed in previous versions of Monkey Island. This one sorta ruins the picture. The way that you may have pictured the pixelated Guybrush something quite different from what is portrayed here. Even Elaine looks a bit odd ...  Read the complete review

Lechuck is back! LECHUCK IS BACK!! If you missed the first two parts of this amazing game series, produced about 4 or 5 years ago, go get them and play them. I'll wait. Back? Good. By now, you should have laughed yourself silly playing these hysterical adventures, chronicaling the adventures of one Guybrush Threepwood as he takes ...  Read the complete review

This is the third title in the Monkey Island series, and this time is presented in much better looking cartoon graphics, and the sound has also been approved. This is the first of the Monkey Islands that has been brought out on cd for it's first release and therefore has much more room for speech and the graphics. Once again there is ...  Read the complete review

This is one of the best Adventure games i've ever played, it has comedy,toughness and sheer brilliance. It is set in the pirate times and you controll Guybrush Threapwood a cool 21 year-old, he loves the govenor of the islands near him called " Elaine ". He meets loads of people on his adventure including, murray: a talking ...  Read the complete review

My adventure with Guybrush Threepwood (the main character of the game) started with his second episode, in the "good old days" of DOS. The game was rather crude graphically, but very cartoony, and you could feel its quality. The Monkey Island trilogy (soon to have a new episode) falls into the "Point-and-click" genre, where you ...  Read the complete review

The Curse Of Monkey Island was the third in the trilogy of LucasArt's world class Monkey Island series, and it is the weakest of the three. I think the main reason for this is the abandonment of the point and click interface, and the inclusion of speech. You may disagree, but I think that what makes Monkey Island is not the graphics and sound ...  Read the complete review
