Adventure Game Scene of The Day - Tuesday 30 May 2006
Seems like nobody's put one up the last few days so I figured I might as well throw one in, always wanted to, and this game came to mind. A fairly hit and miss affair, it's humor was much less intelligent than previous games, though it had it's moments, and I liked the plot twist towards the end there with... Spoiler: The first time I saw that cutscene I was like WTFOMG and all that. But most frustratingly, this game has the worst part of all MI's and Lucasarts adventures in general, the frustrating, inappropriate and bloody annoying Monkey Kombat! Edit: just noticed the one. umm... we'll call this tomorrow's one then...? it's almost tomorrow in my timezone anyway.. |

Two in one day. Must be my birthday.
You pretty much hit the nail on the head with that (but I hated the plot twist). |

You know, I really don't get the big problem that most people have with Monkey Kombat. It's like a (bad) version of insult swordfighting, but it's really not that frustrating.

Yeah, OK, that's true.
But compared to the mazes in, like, every Sierra game ever, the insult swordfighting note-taking was a piece of cake . |

God I hated Monkey Kombat. It upset me so much.
I should replay Monkey Island 4 just to remind me why. |

In response to Eye-Z's spoiler...
...you should have paid more attention to the seemingly inconsequential animation on the monkeys when you drew with them. It still doesn't make any bloody sense that LeChuck just so happens to do exactly the same flippin' thing, though... |

I actually kinda liked the rock puzzle, it was fairly simple and I got this feeling of satisfaction upon succeeding.. it had a point. MK really didn't.. it was 20 minutes of listening to those bloody OOP ACK CHEE noises, and having to fail on purpose several times in order to learn the right moves... it was repetitive and boring. But I guess my biggest problem with it, is that it's a really really bad joke,
the worst form of low humor, and just unbefitting the level of humor in the entire series. |

I know I'm going to sound daft, but what was that 'rock puzzle'? I can't remember anything like that.

well i kinda thought MK was cool, i've even got a sweet windows background that i got off the net. It's a take off of the young anakin poster from episode 1 where you see Darth vaders shadow coming off him, except this one is guybrush with a monkey shadow, with the monkey shadow being similar in appearance to the well animated monkeys from MI4. anyway, i love all MI's, bring em on....
