I remember this frustrating me greatly the first time around. This game uses the keyboard as the primary interface, so no more point and click. I don't mind cartoons, so it was all good. The look of the game was very similar to the style of the previous game which had the visual appeal of a cartoon. I'm not sure if the 3D rendering adds anything to the game, but it didn't detract either.
The idea sounds promising, however.Įscape from Monkey Island is the first 3D Monkey Island Game. I could never get it to work, unfortunately, so can't comment on it. There is also a 3rd party replacement for the MI4 loader, which supposedly gives you an easier way to install the game, download the patch, and change various settings. In retrospect I remember having this problem the first time around too. I had to restore a previously saved game going quite back a ways in order to get past the bug. Unfortunately, you can start the chain of events without knowing there is an actual puzzle going on yet. When talking to some chess pirates playing, if you don't finish the puzzle the first time entering the screen the game locks up when you come back later to finish. For some reason my mind told me to look for patches before starting the game perhaps I have some deep routed ill memories about this title somewhere below the surface.Įven with the patch, there was still a show stopper bug. Unfortunately, this Monkey Island is buggy in the "CD" state, so I had to search around and find a patch, here or here. Thankfully the game installed and ran with no problems. Unlike Monkey Island 3, MI4 is not supported by SCUMMVM. Like Monkey Island 3, I had Monkey Island 4 on CD. I think this is my favorite game in the series. This is a review of my experiences with The Escape from Monkey Island. But, before starting to the new stuff, I decided to refresh my memory on that which came before. I went ahead and pre-purchased all five episodes, and can't wait to delve in. A brand new tale in the world of Monkey Island is out, and I'm hoping for a fun old style game in the vein of the classic adventure genre.
