Debacles be damned - this game is a gem.Īs dangerous as it is to criticism, it's all too easy to go off about the endless merits of this installment. LucasArts has managed to walk the fine line between series continuity and hilarious unpredictability which, in one fell swoop, helped the adventure game genre to resurface in a very hostile world.
With wit, charm and cunning ingenuity, Escape from Monkey Island is one of those few game experiences where you struggle to find holes in it, where you have to sit and think until you can find something to complain about. After such licensed debacles as Star Wars: Rebellion and Star Wars: Force Commander, it was beginning to look like even something as treasured and non-Obi-Wan-related as their Monkey Island series would be in a spot of trouble. Let's be honest - LucasArts has never been timid when it comes to its line of adventure games.
