Lucas Classic Line: Escape from Monkey Island (PC CD)- PC

Lucas Classic Line: Escape from Monkey Island (PC CD)- PC

TheMonkey Islandtales jumped onto our screens a long time ago and charmed us with ... more

intriguing storylines and chirpy dialogue. Now
after a wait that seems like an eternity, Guybrush
Threepwood and his trusty band of friends are back
in the fourth instalment,Escape from Monkey
Island.Carrying on whereCurse of Monkey Islandleft
off,Escape from Monkey Islandstarts with Guybrush
and his now-wife Elaine Marley-Threepwood, The
Governor of the Tri-islands, returning back to the
peaceful island of Mêlée, only to find that not
all is what it seems, and while they have been
battling the high seas, the evil villain Charles L
Charles has plotted to take over the islands. All
sounds hectic stuff, and you would be right in
thinking so, butEscape from Monkey Islandis not
about being hectic, so sit back, take a sip of
thattea you've got next to the computer and let's
take it easy.For those not aware of the
series,Monkey Islandis your average
point-and-click game: search around, ask some
questions, pick up some stuff, ask some more
questions and so on and so on, but whereEscape
from Monkey Islanddiffers is in the execution.
With its superb 3-D graphics--the others didn't
feature in 3-D--that lusciously depict the
Tri-island area, the graphics are the first thing
that will catch you eye. Couple this with a witty,
clever and at times wonderful script and you've
got a game that will have you chuckling out loud
as Guybrush spins puns, jokes and insults
aplenty.If you are a fan of the point-and-click
genre, or theMonkey Islandseries for that matter,
then this is definitely going to be your cup of
tea with intriguing challenges and humour you have
come to appreciate from a game like this. If,
however, like a lot of people, you are wary of
point-and-click games, this is the perfect
starting point, with the game slowly easing you
into the wonderful world that isMonkey Island.
--Stuart Miles

Monkey Madness on your PS2 at last

Advantages: Its monkey isalnd enough said
Disadvantages: NONE

...so pleased to see that Escape From Monkey Island was going to be released on PS2 (because its the best adventure game series ever)!

Well now the greatest Adventure game series has hit PS2 and my god is it good! This time around its all in 3D, theres no point and click, you use the PS2's analouge sticks to move the main character (Guybrush Threepwood, oh yeah he's a mighty pirate) around. This may seem strange given that monkey island ...
...still the same old monkey island.

This game is the 4th in the series and its probably the 2nd best, becuase Monkey Island 2 is still the best in my eyes. Anyway the story is, Guybrush Threepwood and Eiaine Threepwood(formely Elaine Marley), are now husband and wife. They have been on their honeymoon, sailing the seven seas, but when they return things are very different. Elaine and Guybrush have been declared dead and Elaine has lost ... more

...to borrow a copy of Escape from Monkey Island, I grabbed at it with both hands. I didn’t realize there was a PS2 version, but luckily for me this is the format it arrived to me in, as pointing and clicking with a mouse can get a bit wrist numbing after a while. *****MADE BY**** Escape from Monkey Island is made by Lucas Arts (also make a lot of Star Wars games for the PS2, PC and Xbox). Check them out at www.LucasArts.com. *****GAME BACKGROUND***** ...
...know weird name). There are three previous versions in the Monkey Island series (none of which I have played), but according to the book, Guybrush defeated the evil enemy (you know the one you always get) and married his sweetheart and sailed off into the sunset. So here he is, trying to find THE ULTIMATE INSULT. His beloved wife is the Governor of Melee Island where the game is set, and she is standing for re-election against the evil man Ghost ...

Monkey of a game

Advantages: Great innovation and originality
Disadvantages: Not ground-breaking

...one of life-s little leasures. Escape from Monkey Island gives you the chance to lay on the verbal pain, free from the fear of burly men breaking your face after you have asked them if they are suffering from elephantiasis of the ugly gland. Encounters that would in any other action game play out with explosives and tests of button mashing strength, here take the form of viscious slanging matches. Your rival disses you, then you choose the most ...
...of shooting action fool yu, Escape from Monkey Island looks set to be one of the PS2's most enjoyable adventures to date. There isstacks of top-quality dialogue in Monkey Island and the voic acting is spot on. Conversations can be lengthy theough, and teasing the next clue from the misfit you are chatting with isn't for impatient adventurers. The good thing is that the twisted humour that appears throughout the game is even funnier in these dialogue ...

For godsakes Guybrush the Monkies stop the MONKIES

Advantages: control, options, graphics, humor
Disadvantages: needs a lot of patience and wit

I must begin by stating once again, as aformentioned in my Twisted Metal review, I am not much for video games....at all. However, my room mate had rented this game a few weeks back and after getting a bit tipsy off of some pineapple voldka I finally gave into his insistent begs for me to try it. Now, while drunk it wasn't much, due to the fact I couldn't quite figure out how to work the controller, but I came back to it the following day, and behold, ...
...in the pirate days and you play the main character, Guybrush Threepwood, who everyone more or less looks at as a rather failing and sadly attempt to be a pirate. He is married to the governer of his home island, Elaine Marley. Anyone who is crossed with this information laughs hysterically at him in disbelief. The game is completely filled with humor. From the man who sells pirate prostheses, and you hear stories to get some free ones, then dig through ...

Escape Fom Monkey Island-No thanks its nice here!

Advantages: Comedy storyline, Nice bright graphics, Insult Arm wrestling, Great Voice acting
Disadvantages: Puzzles can be a bit complex/weird, Movement of character takes a little getting used too.

The story is as follows, are you sitting comfortably? You play Guybrush Threepwood a rather pathetic pirate who is married to Elaine Marley Threepwood a swash buckling heroin of Hollywood proportions. The story starts straight after the Curse of Monkey Island so you have just come back to Melee Island and because you have been away so long the arch rival politician Charles L Charles has declared Elaine dead and thus himself the new Governor of the ...
...who is coming in and buying up the whole island to turn it into a tourist resort. Your job should you decide to accept it is to find the land owner, save the island and get Elaine reinstated. Simple! The graphics are really good, not earth shattering but they are nice, bright and cartoon like (hey i'm a kid at heart!). The movement of the character is also good (a lot better than trying to make Tanner run from car to car in Driver 2!). However the ...

oop eek ack said the monkey

Advantages: Monkey Island, there's monkey's
Disadvantages: point and click sin't everyones taste, a bit difficult too.

...over the past few weeks, Escape from Monkey Island has been really exciting, It has gripped me so much that I really want to know what will happen next (I will not cheat and look up in a guide) and you won't be able to belive some of the major surprises in store! Graphics - 9 : Lucasarts took a huge leap this time round, from 2D to fully 3D. The characters we once knew in previous games are in glorious, if not blocky 3D graphics. The characters are ...
...and Music - 8 : Escape from Monkey Island has voice acting, which The Curse of Monkey Island also had. The same voice actors are back, acting as their characters, plus there are new actors, who are greeted with open hands. My two personal favourite voice actors are Dominic Armato, who plays Guybrush, and has one of the best voices in the world and Earl Boen, who plays LeChuck. The sound effects are okay, but not great, they either act on time, or ...
