This is one of the funnest games i have ever played. The first 3 are good but i would say that this is one is by far the best. The graphics are good and the story is extremely funny. It has adventure and puzzels which make for a good game. It is best for people 10 and up because some of the puzzels are a little difficult. It is great for adults and has a really cool "mini game" inside the actual game called monkey combat. It is extremely fun and i rate this a 5 out of 5

This game just didn't live up to the other 3 previous games. The graphics were great, but the puzzles were complicated and incredably illogical. I often found myself asking, what is the point? The dialogue was good, but sometimes kind of repetitive. They had somewhat of a good idea for a plot, but it went awry. I'm glad I only rented this game and didn't waste too much money.

As a big fan of MGS and the like, it took me a while to get into this game, but once you've been playing for an hour or so you really get lost in the plot as the game progresses. I find some of the screens anoying at times as the camera zooms right out to a birds eye view, but apart from that the backdrops/scenes are great. Packed full of wise cracks that actually make you laugh/snigger/smile and even feel stupid at times. If you want a fast action/adventure, this game is not for you, but if you always dreamed of living inside a cartoon and love a deep whacky plot, then Escape from Monkey Island the game!...

This is definitely the funniest game I have ever played.Great characters, Cartoonish graphics and lots of monkeys!
Graphics: 9/10 I love the great backgrounds with freaky weird looking clouds but some of the nonmain characters aren't very detailed.
Sound:10/10 The best voice acting around with hilarious dialouge.
control:9/10. sweet and simple.
replay:7/10. It's still funny after you played it a million times but the puzzles are really easy after you've played it once.
over all fun: 9/10 funny graphics, voices, movies but some not-so-obvious puzzles.

Monkey games rule!

Monkeys, pirates, arm-wrestling, and insults. What more could you ask for in a game?

Captain's log:---- every day I remember my last 3 visits to monkey island. The air was warm, the jungles had the sweet smell of bananas, and most of all, the monkeys. So many monkeys. After all my other trips to that crazy island, I would have to say this one was the most exciting. Elaine and I are newly wed, but for some reason my plunderbunny has been declared deceased. It is up to me to help declare her alive again, and it is up to me to stop a very familiar looking Charles L. Charles from being declared Governor over my sweetheart. One heck of an adventure is afoot, so come along and join me on the biggest journey of all time. Will I "Escape from Monkey Island?" You be the judge. Guybrush Threepwood

When i first rented this game, i thought it was going to be dumb. But while playing it, i realized how challenging and fun this game can be. The jokes hilarious, the insults are great, and so is the story line. A must buy for rpg fans.

as fun as the second bigest barrell of monkeys i've everseen

i bought this game a few months ago and i havent beaten it but i can say this is one of the greatest adventure games i've ever played. it goes up there with greats like willie beamish and hmm... nope can't remember any others right now but its like when sega had all thoughs games like this that was realy fun. you don't see very many games at all like this so don't let this one slip by.there are only about two errors in the game, very challenging puzzels and best of all monkeys, insults and arm wresteling.

5 stars without load times.

This one is sort of like "McGyver Meets The Kids In The Hall". I haven't played any of the rest of the series, but I am pleasently surprised with this game. The only real downfall is the ever present and seemingly unnecessary load times, but I won't harp on that. Be forwarned, this is not a game for the uneducated gamer (see the review by "MoMo from Cerritos, CA"). This is DEFINATELY a thinking person's game full of puzzles that will deprive you of sleep and sometimes leave you a bit frustrated...but with a BIG grin on your face. Also, if you're very short on patience, you may find this game a bit tedious and boring. Other than that, if you've got lots of time, a twisted sense of humor, a very sharp mind, and, I suggest, a strategy guide for those ridiculously impossible puzzles, pick this one up. Thankfully the instruction manual has a walkthru for the first few missions of the game. This will at least get you thinking on the game's level...and that's scary.

your all stupid

Alright, the guys name is supposed top be stupid, but I geuss some stupid 11 year olds brain can compute that. Ok, it ain't the best game in the world, bu the game is meant to be dumb. Dumb as in humnerous. This game really puts the mind to work, if you think the entire game is about talking to people your just stupid, you are probably failing math, and you don't even try to figure out what it's about before you critisize.
