I hear the later Acts are even worse, so I just quit at that point. Murray, who was a favorite character of mine, shows up but you can't do anything with him except brutalize him. One of the quests in Act 1 is resolved in a completely unnecessarily sad way, with guybrush basically demolishing a wildlife community and grinning in stupid satisfaction as the animals weep. There's a museum on melee where the proprietor says people who are interested in pirates are bad people, and guybrush is just like 'oh good point'. It's the whole atmosphere and the way everyone reacts to Guybrush. puzzles are extremely simple, but that's not what bothers me. Instead the first act is just guybrush, who's apparently actually an immature, egocentric jerk, wandering around melee island and its run-down, abandoned shops, clicking on things and "thinking back to better times". Hundreds of puzzles to challenge both novice and veteran pirates.I was expecting some lighthearted, fun monkey island adventures. Dozens of lusciously rendered backgrounds!.An original, cinematic story full of drama, sociopathic parrots, and a villain with a sinister agenda!.Excerpted from "The Memoirs of Guybrush Threepwood: The Monkey Island Years"įourth in the legendary Monkey Island series of graphic adventures!

If only I'd chosen a different path, LeChuck might still be dead and the Ultimate Insult might have remained a mystery. I'd ignored recent events that should have been warning shots across the bow of my soul, from my wife's brush with death to the anti-pirate ramblings of an Australian gazillionaire. Spitting the sand of Monkey Island from my mouth, I wondered if the life of a mighty pirate was all it was cracked up to be.
