Video Game Reviews of Escape from Monkey Island
Customer Review: Great game!
Summary: 4 Stars
It's a very fun and cool game. Sometimes you want to destroy it and sometimes you love it. Another thing is that more and harder puzzle and new islands.Customer Review: Great fun
Summary: 5 Stars
I thought this game was a lot of fun. The acting was superb. You just have to love Guybrush Threepwood's ingenuous charm! The graphics were beautiful. It's almost worth playing just to see the swirly clouds in the sky! I see several reviewers complained about the 3D effects, but I thought they were very well done. The only complaint I agree with is the lack of mouse control. All in all, I highly recommend this game. It's brilliant and made my husband and me laugh out loud quite a lot. Great fun.Customer Review: I love Monkey Island! No matter what!
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved MI4 just as much as the other ones. I didn't notice Elaines voice change(I know there was one), it didn't matter to me... I was always used to reading through everything in MI1 and MI2. But I would have to agree with everyone else on one thing, please change the graphics back to 2d, just like MI3! I LOVED THOSE GRAPHICS! People don't want reality MI, they want the good ole fashion cartoon MI! Lucas Arts needs to make a MI5, I would buy it the second it came to stores. I just hope they make it in 2d graphics, I think everyone will agree with me on that. The scenery is beautiful and the colors almost jump out of the monitor at you! But I still loved MI4! I am a loyal fan!Customer Review: I loved every monkey island, except this one
Summary: 1 Stars
I loved to play monkey island 1 when i was 6 and 7, monkey island 2 was also great, and COMI was my favorite, the painted backgrounds were beautiful, the music was good enough to stand on its own, and the voice acting was superb. Not to mention how well the cartoony graphics style fit into the series. Then monkey island 4 came along and wrecked it all. the graphics were horrible, the 3d animation was terrible, and didn't fit the series at all. the new voice for elaine is SO OBNOXIOUS!... why couldn't they get the old voice from COMI back? The plot it stupid, and the interface is among the worse I have ever used. Every since sometime in the mid 1980's there was this great invention called the MOUSE! Having to use the keyboard all the time was so frustrating! The puzzles were obscure, and had nothing to do with the plot. I hope that if lucasarts makes an MI5, they'll go back to 2d graphics, and add mouse support!Customer Review: Could have been better
Summary: 4 Stars
Overall a good game. Great graphics (just right for The Monkey Island), decent controls you can get used to (point'n'click would definitely be better though), puzzles and humour in line with those in the previous installments of the seriers.Some aspects of gameplay the storyline are disappointing though. For example, "insult fencing" is limited and usless, and "functional" replacement for it is downright boring.
The ending, and, most importantly, the epilogue sequneces were really disappointing.
Despite its shortcoming, it's still a good game, and I recommend it to everyone who enjoyed other LucasArt's quests.
