PC Critic Reviews

Hilarious, perfectly paced, and just the right amount of difficulty. Very few puzzles are total stumpers.

In short, Monkey Island has amazing production value, great graphics, good comedy, and a compelling story.

The best adventure game we've played in recent years, and an instant classic.

This comic farce will leave you rolling on the floor with laughter and provide hours of enjoyment, a healthy dose of good-natured, unadulterated fun, and more monkeys than every other game combined.

This is what an adventure game should be: easy to look at, great puzzles and sound, simple interaction, humour, solid writing and the power to transport the player somewhere else for some fun.

Monkey Island is still the best place to play.

I haven’t laughed so much, nor have I had so much fun playing a game in ages.

Despite the sometimes-baffling challenges (which, in all honesty, are pretty typical to the genre), EMI delivers exactly what the Monkey Island name promises-a lighthearted, entertaining, and well-written swashbuckling adventure game.

Some ill-chosen puzzles, a fatigued conclusion -- no matter, really. You'll be smiling too much to give it much notice. This is nothing less than perfectly perfected perfection. If you like monkeys, anyway.

Simply the greatest point-and-click adventure game to date, whilst it may seam a little strange at time hang on there you will be rewarded in the end.
