• ESCAPE FROM MONKEY ISLAND WALK THROUGH PSP

Illogical "epic" Monkey Kombat between egoless LeChuck posessing a statue and the giant monkey head, followed by a ridiculously short and useless cutscene.Īpart from Elaine and Demon LeChuck, all characters (especially Guybrush) had awful models.Įlaine and Stan's voiceactors were not as good as their Curse voiceactors. The giant monkey head turning into a robot.

Guybrush ends up on Monkey Island for completly no reason at all. Murray (and, to lesser extent, Stan) in the game for no reason at all. Guybrush seems genuinly stupid instead of just inept and absent-minded. It's especially annoying when Elaine does it. Guybrush gets bashed by everyone (Happens in every game to some extent, but usually it's not this bad or universal, and the people who are the worst get punished for it (Carla, Otis, Meathook, Rottingham, Largo, etc.). The running gag where you can say something flirtatious to every female character in the game, and Guybrush will say it in a really creepy voice. The cutscenes with Ozzie and LeChuck are surprisingly good. Stan's theme from this game was by far it's best version. It had a great atmosphere going on.Įlaine and Demon LeChuck had very good models. But the first two chapters are OK, and quite enjoyable. It's a decent adventure game, but the other Monkey Island's holds such a high standard that it's a failure in comparison. Unfortunately, regardless of the polish it really doesn't capture me as much as the other games (including Tales). Good things about it? Graphics are nice, puzzles are mostly okay, voice acting is as good as ever and the whole game just felt polished. Jambalaya Island was really pushing it over the line in particular. In short, the Monkey Island universe became a lot sillier than it already was in the first three games, and completely overdid the subtle elements of those. Ruining the great Monkey Head and Herman Toothrot specifically comes to mind. And they did some rather devestating changes to the series, that I don't think was for the better. It also has the worst story of the Monkey Island games. I understood the idea behind it (apparently, the words were so primitive that the insult hurt you regardless of wether you understood it or not). It's supposedly meant as insult kung fu, but missed the point entirely by having the clever insults of the other variants completely removed, and instead have the meaningless gibberish. It didn't really make sense, to be honest. It's got some good parts, and some bad parts. Yeah, CMI was good too, but nothing can top MI2.ĮMI, I don't really hate it. Possibly the best soundtrack ever in an adventure game. The headphones will help you get into the atmosphere and mood and really enjoy the rather spectacular soundtrack. The graphics don't look so pixelated (on large LCD monitors it can be a little messy) and generally looks like it originally did on a CRT from that time.

But MI2 is probably on top.Īlso, to really enjoy Monkey Island 2, I think headphones and playing it on the PSP is perfect. Other two are Final Fantasy VII and Sensible World of Soccer.

Music, atmosphere, story, gameplay, humour, graphics - they're just insanely good, and still among the top three games I've ever played. What makes Monkey Island 2 so good is that it's (imo) as close to perfect on just about every level. Of course compared to Curse or Revenge is a very large fall. Still writing was good (mostly), voice acting was also good (whether you like some particular actor/change or not), the overall story was more than average. It's the least modern computer/OS compatible of the games. Graphics were alright for that time, but nothing spectacular (just look at Hilary Threepwood-Clinton) I didn't buy his motivation, but he is an alright villain (but not for main) Some areas and puzzles are troublesome (time-based puzzles probably not a good idea)

The inventory system is not obvious and it's cumbersome to interact A core part of MI is LeChuck as the main villain (at least at the end) Monkey Combat (This actually counts as 3 reasons on its own right) OK, I'll be a bit more diplomatic and less "dashing" to give my two cents:
