User Reviews

Enjoyable

For the last game in the Monkey Island series to date, it is a very fair game. It is not short of its confusing puzzles (which tend to make me nostalgic), and has a lot of imagination put into it. I don't really like the 3D aspect of the game, I must admit I did prefer the "click 2 go" engine, but still, advantages bring disadvantages.

Good game. 8/10
