Summary: another great monkey island game
Review: the witty humor and playability of this game are refreshing.. i like all the monkey island games but this one tops the list so far.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Wonderful fun
Review: There's not much left to say about this one that hasn't been said before, but I'll add my vote to those who think this is a real treat. It's fun, not too difficult (and except for a few exceptions, the puzzles make at least a bit of sense), great graphics and music.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Great advancement to last "Monkey Island"
Review: This is a great game. To start, if you liked the last monkey island, you have to love this one. The diffirence between this and the last game, "The Cuse of Monkey Island, is, it's mainly in 3D with 2D backrounds, better story (plenty of laughs), and it's a great wrap up to it's preccedors. Yet it's worst downfall, is that the puzzles are almost impossible to solve alone. (I needed complete online assistance to beat it) And if you have a slow computer, you can't view the cinematic clips (it skips through the images) Also, make sure that you have a 3D acceleration card, or else the game won't work.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hilarious Piratey monkey fun
Review: This is an extremely funny comedy based game. The jokes are tasteful and funny and something that anybody could relate to. Some of the comedy is in the characters themselves like Britney, the bank accountant whose dream is to become a singer with her own backup dancers. This game is something only Lucas Arts could have produced. There are many jokes about the game and life situations and the game is actually very easy to play, though some of the puzzles are extremely hard, there being no clues to some of the puzzles. The sound is great (familiar music if you have played previous Monkey Islands) and the graphics arent something I could complain about though I really loved Curse of Monkey island's cartoon graphics (I HIGHLY reccomend that you play at least that if you want some backup story). Though it is 4th in the series, the gameplay is still refreshing. The only thing I could complain about is the shortness of this game (takes less than 24 hours to beat) and the control. This game is really fun and anybody who has played it loves it (though there are some who are quick to judge by the graphics). Chances are if you looked at this game, you are familiar with the previous classics. Even if you have not played the previous games, there is a prequel in the beginning that is enough to give you sufficient backup info to play this game. However if you really want to understand some of the jokes you will proboably need to play Monkey Island 1, 2 (not really too good compared to 1) and 3.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A bit disappointing...
Review: Though this game is still very good, it's can't compete with "the curse of monkey island". The jokes were not as witty, they were a bit lame really, and the plot wasn't all that great either. I don't like the characters in their 3-D form, plus Guybrush didn't look anything like he did before, which bugged me.
Too bad, this game just didn't quite live up to it's potential. The curse is much better so I suggest you play that instead, or Grim Fandango which is an awsome game.
