I have played a demo version of this game at a computer show in the Uk and i have to say that what i saw was pretty impressive. This is the 4th in the series and the best to date. This games see's the return to Melee Island when our hero entounters more puzzles and hilarious conquests. This is a must have for any fan of the previous outings, as its shows with age that the Monkey Island series can still be new and exciting

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

Load times are almost unbearable, but minus that, great game

The monkey island series are perhaps the greatest video game series ever, even pitting up against the likes of Final Fantasy, Zelda and all the other great ones.

It's a shame not too many people have actually played the games.

But perhaps this, now on a mainstream platform, will change things.

For those familiar with the older games, there is no such thing as monkey lite on this thing. It's hard right from the get go. I feel sorta dumb after the fact, but the cannon puzzle really had me stumped. (I won't spoil it for you) :)

But the main con to this game is the horrendously slow loadtimes and sometimes choppy animation. Whenever a monkey comes on screen, it's not smooth AT ALL. It's pretty embarrassing if you focus on that, but luckily, not a lot of action takes place int he game. It's more a thinker game.

Do yourself a favor and pick this one up.

Very disappointed !!!

The Game doesn't worth enough to belong to Play Station 2, to much loading scene, lack of action.I'm also owned Starwars starfighter that's made me feel the same. Wonder how the press gave them a very high rate. I never buy any game from Lucas Arts no more.

Could have been much better.

The game isn't bad, it's just the same as the other 3. I didn't expect it to be groundbreaking. But some change, some advancment in the concept of the adventure game genre would have been nice. But in the end there really wasn't. It follows the same format, the same ideas and just didn't strike me as being very new. Especially after all the hype Lucas arts pumped before it's release. All said and done it is still enjoyable.

The best rpg for playstation 2 so far

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.

I LOVE THIS GAME
