More than a standard action puzzle game, Monkey Island glows with a keen sense of humor and a nefarious mind for tricky combinations. </TD></TR></TABLE> <br><br> Your hero, Guybrush Threepwood, is back again - this time as a married pirate with a governer-wife. You roam around the islands, finding yourself a pirate crew, fighting duels and figuring out the various riddles that challenge you. <br><br> The dialogue is great. They throw in references to everything under the sun, from 'Zillionaire, Mansion and a Yacht' jokes about Bugs Bunny to sly comments about the OJ Simpson trial. There's something for every age group in here. <br><br> I was very disappointed that they included a walkthrough *with* the software - I'm quite sure that many, many people will use the walkthrough without trying to figure out the puzzles on their own. Yes, they can be tricky sometimes, but the whole point of the game is to get that "Aha!!" moment when you get the right combination to work. Using the walkthrough skips tons of fun dialogue and results that only occur when you trial-and-error your way through. throughout. <br><br> Other downsides include its tendency to crash (save OFTEN) and the confusing controls for movement. The graphics are great, though, and there is no way I could resist a game this witty.
