Default Escape from monkey island...

Spoilers....ending and so forth


Ok there are so many things that were great about this game particulary the voice acting, jokes and music...but the story itself sucked.

Spoiler:
The game ending was such an anti climax, i was holding on thinking that surely there was something else to do. The monkey kung fu was crap, and was it me or did you have to draw 3 times with manderly to win? well anyway i also missed the dreary and darker settings that the first 3 had also. No dark disgusting pirates.


I think they should do a 5

I was really disappointed that you didn't see a much reduced in size stone LeChuck crawling out of a huge, LeChuck shaped hole on Monkey Island.

Hell yeah..totaly agreed. But first, we have to invade LucasArts an kill everybody there and then substitute all the dead for people who wants to make adventure games. Or, we could just steal their license and give to telltales games.

What do you think I am planning all the time! I just have to win that visit to the Lucas Studios, and then kidnap someone that shows me the way to LucasArts.

I think we should break in and just steal the rights. We could then give the rights to a company that's actually competent in making a decent game, like Double Fine or Telltale.

You could actually make it easier for yourself. Trace that postbox number down, or you could just easily ask Bill, Tim or Guybrush.



I meant Dominic Armato.

I didn't think the game was too bad...

Hell the ending sucked, but the game play and overall storyline was alright. They managed to retain that MI feeling in parts, although I see what you mean about the darker aspects of the game...it lacked any dismembered heads or real zombie action...lol.

I would definately like to see a fifth.

why oh boy, i see some people don't like sequels, and we all know its likely to never happen, but MI has a bigger fan base than sam and max, it'd sell imo.

Nah, it's a good game. The whole thing feels a bit like Rocky 5 (sequelitis, anyone?), but it's still pure gold compared to most games released after it. Except that I was only able to solve that filing apparatus puzzle on Lucre Island by trial&error.
