review for the secret of monkey island special edition

One of the games high points is its excellent use of comedy The Secret of Monkey Island is a funny game. It’s all works so well that you don’t see talking to a character as a hindrance but rather something you actively want to do. It’s a story that is impossible to not enjoy, Guybrush Threepwood is so likable & every character you meet offers something more to the story. Will Guybrush get the girl & defeat the ghost pirate LeChuck?Ĭan Guybrush hold his breath for longer than 10 minutes?įind all this out & more in next weeks….oh wait. Will Guybrush realise his life-long dream of becoming a pirate?Ĭan Guybrush find his way to Monkey Island & survive its harsh challenges? The island is attacked by the pirate LeChuck who kidnaps Elaine & takes her back to his hideout on Monkey Island forcing Guybrush to mount a rescue operation. Upon meeting the governess Guybrush falls madly in love with her & eventually begins to win her over. As Guybrush sets about his tasks exploring the island he hears more & more about the ghost pirate LeChuck who died trying to reach Monkey Island in an attempt to win the love of the Governess, Elaine Marley. First he must defeat the islands resident sword-master then he must find a buried treasure before finally stealing a valuable idol from the governor’s mansion. Once he visits the 3 pirate leaders they set him 3 trials before he can become a pirate. “My name is Guybrush Threepwood and I want to be a pirate”. Guybrush Threepwood arrives on Melee Island wanting to become a pirate. The thing that makes a great point & click is its story you have to be completely immersed in it to enjoy it. Combining the updated visuals, improved controls & many other touch-ups it is easily the definitive version of a top-notch gaming experience. Having played the original, the X-Box 360 arcade remake I’ve settled on the IPad edition as my favourite. The Secret of Monkey Island holds a special place in many a gamer’s heart & if you’ve never played it then shame on you! What are you waiting for? There are plenty of versions available now so there is no excuse. That is but one sequence of one of the finest point & click games ever created.

“I’m glad to hear you attended your family reunion!”įancy a bit of insult sword fighting? I warn you…I’m pretty good at this. “I’ve spoken with apes more polite than you!”
