Escape from Monkey Island (PC) Reviews

This is an excellent game and is as funny as the 3 prequels. The forth installment in the excellent Monkey Island series sees Guybrush Threepwood on another quest! I have played the PC and the Playstation 2 versions and have found the PS2 version to be better because it is easier to control. The point and click system does not exist in this ...  Read the complete review

Escape from Monkey Island is a slight departure from the first three games Monkey Island games. It features the same sort of gameplay, that is your piratey adventure lark, but this time Guybrush has gone 3D. A brief summary of the plot so far… Guybrish Threepwood (the player’s character) was once a wannabe pirate. In the first game ...  Read the complete review

The much awaited fourth episode in the Monkey Island series. Unfortunately it's disappointing. If you haven't played the original games then I suggest you do so before tackling this game as it's one long continuous story from the first part through to this one. The plot in this episode sees Guybrush finally married to Elaine ...  Read the complete review

It has a rating of “T” for Teen and above and is designed to be played by one person but you can still have fun by teaming up with friends or family.

I am a huge fan of the previous 3 games, and would definately rate them as the best adventure game trilogy ever. I had high hopes of this game, i mean how could it be bad, its monkey island. But... It ...  Read the complete review

The adventure continues with LucusArts fourth installment of the Monkey Island series of games. Unfortunately also back are the scenes and dialogue that we are familair with. This game is so much like LeChuck's Revenge you'll be double taking the box lid just to make sure you didn't make a mistake with your purchase. ...  Read the complete review

Hoist the sails! It's time to embark on yet another journey with the mighty Guybrush Threepwood! How many monkeys is too many monkeys? A question for the ages. Indeed, for centuries now it has remained unanswered. The great game designers of ancient Greece, dressed in their No Fear togas, spent countless hours debating this cruel ...  Read the complete review

Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana and in Escape from monkey island, a game that features few arrows and a lot of bananas, you wonder just where that time has gone. When you compare the number of Monkey Island games made in the past 11 years with the number of Tomb Raider games made in the past 5 years, you just have to wonder. ...  Read the complete review

having played monkey island 2 and 3 i can't say this game wasn't enjoyable but it didn't meet my expectations. in this game the mouse is left out of use so going from place to place takes a lot longer as you cant just double click where you want to go. in case anyone didn't know monkey is land is a "swashbuckleing ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

The very first computer game I ever bought, even before I owned a PC, was The Secret of Monkey Island by then Lucasfilm Games. It might not seem like much today, but the 16-color graphics and mouse-driven interface were quite respectable by 1990 standards. It was the first computer game, aside from ZORK and other early text adventures, that ...  Read the complete review

I loved 1 and 2 hated three and now they have gone back to the jokes I know I love. They kept the newer design however made it more like Grim Fandango which was a brilliant touch. The creators of Sam and Max helped create the game which is why it is so funny and the game is a must for any RPG fan. I like how the game has gone back to as long as ...  Read the complete review

I have to admit I am a big fan of the monkey Island series of adventure games. I loved the first two, and although the third wasn't as good as either, I enjoyed that too. I was apprehensive about the move to 3 dimensions, but I think LucasArts have pulled it off well. The game sees Guybrush and his wife (Governor Elaine Marley) in ...  Read the complete review

The monkey Island series has been around for some considerable time now. Ron Gilbert invented it some ten years ago that is quite some time in PC games. The fourth one now has just been released by Lucas Arts and shows that they can do it if they try. The somewhat reluctant hero Guybrush Threepwood and his lovely new wife Elaine try to ...  Read the complete review

Monkey Island. The creme de la creme of adventure gaming. Nothing can possibly beat it. Ever. Thats my opinion anyway and with the ever dwindling Adventure game population, it looks as if nothing will ever beat it. Now back and prettier than ever (If thats the right description), Guybrush Threepwood is ready for more swashbuckling (how ...  Read the complete review
