Advantages: Best Adventure game series Ever

Disadvantages: not Enough Murray

Escape From Monkey Island - The fourth in what I believe to be the best adventure series that there is.
Guybrush our hero has now married his sweetheart Elaine but, after returning from their honeymoon they see thaht Melee Island has forgotten them, and Elaine has been declared dead. And a suspicious character Charle Le Charles is running for mayor.

Well as usual Guybrush has to solve this but he undoubtably gets himself into more trouble and meets some great characters along the way with a new guy - Ozzie Mandrill. And the good old Characters like stan (with the great backround music) and a favourite from no3 Murray the evil demonic skull (although I would have liked to have seem more of him). LeChuck is obviously in it, but he kind of takes a back seat to Ozzie the Australian Real Estate developer.

The interface is new to the series - no longer is the mouse used to control guybrush but with a new 3D look Guybrush is controlled by the cursors and numerous keya to suggest his actions. It is difficult to get used to but Lucas Arts have pulled it off (as they did with Grim Fandango)

The Jokes are just as good as before and the puzzles are quite enjoyable and silly as usual. The games has new scenes and new styles , with Insult Arm wrestling , and the all new fighting style of Monkey Combat. New funny places include Planet Threepwood - where nobody believe that Guybrush is actually Guybrush and also StarBuccaneers

The game is definetley a must buy - especially if you have played any of the others in the series.
I do suggest though that you should but the others in the series befoe this one.
