Escape from Monkey Island for PlayStation 2

Pros: Monkeys. Superb voice acting, funniest PS2 game out there.
Cons: Some odd references, occasional insane puzzle.

I've got a couple confessions to make today. First, I have a thing for monkeys in games. I don't know what it is, but I tend to find monkey games pretty amusing. Anyone who played Turok 2's Monkey Mode can attest to the power of monkeys to evoke...

Pros: Great acting, fun music. A great treat for fans of the series
Cons: Dumb puzzles, a lot of inside jokes for fans, BUGS; Not the tropical kind either.

The fourth, and probably the last installment of the Monkey Island quntology brings us monkey's, memories, mayhem and a boat load of technical shortcomings that make Windows 95 look like a great piece of software. Escape from Monkey Island is the ...

Pros: Side-splitting dialogue; retro gameplay; actually requires thinking.
Cons: Some puzzles are way too obtuse.

Escape From Monkey Island?
In case you've never heard of it, this game (for PS2, Mac and PC) is the latest successor in a line of classic adventure games that dates back to the 1980s. I'll refer to it as "EFMI" from here on.

Pros: Generally well-crafted puzzles, fun storyline, humor, good graphics and voicework.
Cons: Slightly disappointing music, that odd sound glitch, not recommended for closed minded action-hungry console gamers.

Pros: The humor. It's a laugh a minute.
Cons: Some of the puzzles are a little hard without help.

I'm not a fan of LucasArts games. Yes, I adore Star Wars, but let's admit that most of the Star Wars games that they've come out with have been a disappointment. Still, having learned about Escape From Monkey Island through the official website...

Pros: Very funny plot, especially for MI fans
Cons: You WILL get stuck

A great addition to the series. Fans of the Monkey Island series will appreciate that the humor hasn't changed much - and they'll be rewarded with a few in-jokes here and there.

The game plays fine - using a joystick instead of a PC's...

Pros: Lots of fun to play and of course it's funny.
Cons: I thought some of the voice overs were bad.

Yes thats right one of the best PC titles finally comes to the home console. And let me tell you they could not have done much of a better job. I mean it's all there from the PC. Things like: lots of characters, tons of jokes, plenty of puns, but not so...

Pros: Cartoonish style graphics, nice transition from 2d too 3d, funny voice acting, really funny jokes
Cons: A little too short

Let me start off by saying I have truely been a fan of monkey island ever since i played the first game in the series, the comedy was truely one of a kind. This is the 4th game in the series, the main charictor, guybrush threepwood, is on another...

Pros: Easy to play for beginners.
Cons: Too short, low replayability.

A great game which is very funny,and entertaining but can't be played all at once.This game based absolutely on interactivity with your environment. The plot was very linear as well; there were many instances where i had to solve a single problem to make...
