Advantages: Now in 3D, great jokes and great fun with lots of little adventures all going towards one main goal.

Disadvantages: Can't think of any if I do i'll update

I brought this game 2 weeks ago and so far, I have been amazed at the stunning graphics and great game play it has. I should also say I’ve nearly completed it (not because its to short) because I am always playing on it none stop.

I used to have an Atari and on it I had the 2nd monkey island game (LeChucks revenge which I really enjoyed. So you can imagine my excitement when I heard that this new game was coming out for pc. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get it when it came out straight away and had to wait even longer but it was well worth the wait.

So now with this game being the 4th in the long running series being on the graphics are now in 3d which makes it a lot more fun to play.

The minimum system requirements for this game are:

Operating System: Windows 95, 98
CPU: 200 MHz required; 266 MHz or more recommended
Memory: 32 MB RAM
Video: 4 MB PCI or AGP direct 3D or openGL-compatible graphics accelerator
Sound: 16-bit sound card
CD-ROM: Quad speed IDE or SCSI CD-ROM
Directx: requires directx 7.0a or higher (don’t worry this comes on the cd itself)

The new monkey island game contains some of the old characters such as Guybrush Threepwood, Murry (the skeleton head, the game wouldn’t be the same without him), Stan, Meethook, and lots more. If you have played the other monkey island games then you know that you really will enjoy this game and Guybrush is really easy to control. Also if you have played the other games you will know how hard the puzzles are and don’t worry the are still as hard as ever.

For those who don’t know the plot of the monkey island game here it is:

You take control of Guybrush Threepwood as he goes on another one of his wacky life threatening adventures. Basically what you have to do in this game is find the secret of the ultimate insult, this can turn fearless pirates into being scared of everything including ants. This
4th game is a lot harder than the rest with more adventures and puzzles to solve this will take an ordinary gamer (with no cheating) a long time to complete.

Just so you know a little more about Guybrush I’ll tell you what he is like. He is a mighty pirate who is incredibly stupid and doesn’t realize that his wife takes the piss out of him. His wife basically controls him and tells him what to do and he can’t get grog form the scumm bar because he looks 14.

In the game you’ll meet some pirates who went with Guybrush to monkey island and hate him for leaving them there and they are always insulting him which I enjoy.

This game is full of new jokes, puns, and insults. So if you are looking to by a new computer game for the pc then get down to the nearest shop now and buy this. You know you’ll regret this if you miss out. I think it is the best game ever and highly recommend it. :O)
