Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Thankfully, The Curse of Monkey Island's technical superiority to its two predecessors doesn't come at the expense of a delightful and hilarious story line--it's every bit as good as its prequels.

Players once again assume the role of Guybrush Threepwood, an aspiring pirate who lacks the coordination and muscle tone to succeed as a swashbuckler. After unknowingly slipping a cursed diamond ring on the finger of his long-time love, Elaine Marley, Guybrush finds himself--and the player along with him--again battling wits with the nefarious (and very dead) pirate, LeChuck.

Utilising a simple point-and-click interface, players guide Guybrush through hundreds of beautifully rendered scenes, meeting unique characters, collecting dozens of objects and solving puzzles. Interacting with the eccentric inhabitants of LucasArt's comic Caribbean is one of the adventure's highlights; the excellent writing and dialogue make each new encounter even better than the last. The Curse of Monkey Island, with excellent animated graphics, is suitable for all ages, though the tricky puzzle solutions may be a tad obscure for younger gamers. --Doug Radcliffe

Product Description
In this highly anticipated third instalment to LucasArts popular Monkey Island series of graphic adventures, Guybrush Threepwood once again takes up dull blade and rapier wit against the nefarious demon-pirate LeChuck. In Curse, Guybrush must save his one true love, Elaine Marley, from being turned into the evil pirate's zombie bride. But, hoping to marry Elaine himself, Guybrush unknowingly slips a cursed ring onto her finger, transforming her into a gold statue. He must then find a way to change Elaine back to her beautiful self and stop LeChuck from carrying out his sinister plans. Aye, 'tis a rollicking adventure that is sure to challenge the mind and shiver a few timbers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funniest of the four so far, 28 Oct 2002
By N. D. Maidment "butchmaidment" - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Fans of the original 'classic' Monkey Island games will not so much be pleased with this game as over the moon. I hadn't played a Monkey Island game for six years when I bought this but it brought a heap of great memories flooding back.
Certainly, Guybrush and co look better than ever, but the playability and humour are just as good, something which cannot be said for the ambitious follow up 'Escape from Monkey Island,' which tries just a little too hard.
Some of the quips in this game are laugh out loud funny, and I'm certainly no square who sits playing games day-in day-out.
The two main islands for exploration will keep you guessing for ages and even if the final two segments are a little disappointing the overall game is simply brilliant. For those who find it a breeze, there is even a super-hard version to try and even though I know what needs doing I still can't complete it a second time.
Monkey Island will surely never be better than this.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Age of Lucasarts Adventures, 10 Jul 2005
Without a doubt one of the best ever adventure games created along with Grim Fandango. Curse of Monkey Island was the first adventure game I ever played and it got me hooked straight away. It was so good that it made me expand my library to include almost all of Lucasarts adventure titles. It definitely has the best interface out of all Lucasarts games with the classic Point&Click being utilised. Unfortunately due to the fact that Lucasarts has chosen to move away from adventures and focus on the overworked Star Wars franchise, it won't be long before these games can no longer be purchased. I strongly recommend to buy this game along with the other Lucasarts adventure games before it's too late. My top 5 list includes:
Curse Of Monkey Island
Grim Fandango
Sam & Max: Hit The Road
Full Throttle
Monkey Island 2: Le Chuck's Revenge

Also check out the new 'Psychonauts' game which came form the mind of Tim Schaefer, the genius behind Grim Fandango and Full Throttle. Though it aint exactly adventure, it is still an amazing and original game, compared to other titles in todays gaming world.

5.0 out of 5 stars So funny you'll fall of your chair!, 18 Dec 2006
By Ms. Patricia Lake "Amatheya" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This game is about as funny as they come.
In this game you find yourself playing a hapless hero trying to rescue his maiden in distress after he accidently terns her into gold and then leaves her to be stolen. I did say he was hapless!
The puzzles in this adventure got to the sublime to the ridiculess, the cartoon graphics fit in perfectly and the script and cut scenes leave you rolling on the floor!
Reccomended for everyone, even the person who's started watching over your shoulder just to see what you were doing and now won't go away!
10/10
