Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I LOVE this game!!! Ü
Review: This is my favorite game. I LOVE it!!! All of the Monkey Island games are fierce, but this one is my favorite. I really like the 3D characters. You don't have to have played the other three, it will still be fun, but I reccommened it because then you will get some of the inside jokes from the other games better, and you'll know the characters. They are a lot of fun, too. I strongly reccommened playing the other three.

If you do choose to play the other ones (which I hope you do), don't expect too much as far as sound and graphics go. In the first two you don't hear the characters speak, and they aren't as cool, but it is still SO HILARIOUS and SO MUCH FUN!!! In the third one you can hear them talk, and they are cartoons, so that is so much better. The fourth one is absolutely the best so far, though. I can't wait until the fifth one comes out!!!

I would also reccommened using a walkthrough, but ONLY USE IT IF YOU ABSOLUTELY CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE TO DO. I can't stress that enough. It is not nearly as fun if you already know how to beat it. I only say to use it because some of the puzzles do not have obvious solutions.

To sum it up, this game is the most fun game I have ever played. It is challenging, adventurous, and above all SO FUNNY!!! It is filled with great characters, hilarious dialogue, and awesome puzzles. If I could rate this on a scale of 1 to 5 I would give it a 7!!! I'm a huge Monkey Island fan!!!!

Summary: it IS funny
Review: When this game came out, people were saying it wasn't funny enough or not as funny as Curse, but in some ways it's funnier. Such as the visually challenged story teller(P.U.) or the 'abominatioin of nature' 'eeeaaah!" I won't go into the details of anything, but as the story moves along, things actually get funnier. The opening gameplay scene starts out a bit lame, especially the 'milk money' joke, but other than that, it is a riot and as the game moves along it gets more interesting. In some ways it is reminicent of 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' in 'pirate' format instead of 'outerspace'. Don't judge a game by it's opening scene.
