#1 Post by Chief » Fri Jul 13, 2007 4:08 pm

I just finally restarted playing Monkey4 after a long break and intend to finish it... (so no spoilers please!!!)

just wanted to say how much i really love this series and the humor involved..

who else is a fan?

there are some rumors of a part 5 but who knows if it will actually happen!

I'm more in favour of MI3. I'm not really fond of MI4's 2.5D stuff.
Oh well. Guess I'm alone on that. :)

It's the originals that matter. The Secret Of Monkey Island and LeChuck's Revenge are definitely on my very favorite adventure games list. Monkey Island 3 and 4 didn't do much for me.

I loved 1, didn't care for 2, liked 3, and disliked 4.

I liked all of them but especially appreciated the great graphics and smooth style of 3.  It was an impressive blend of beautiful backgrounds, nicely animated sprites and fun cutscenes.  I've gotta replay that game again.

I've played through both 1 and 2 numerous times and love them :). Never gotten a hold of 3 or 4, did play a demo of 3 once tho.

They are all great, but Monkey Island 1 and 3 are the best (although I liked guybrush's appearance most in MI2).
Every time I watch Pirates of the CaribbeanI am reminded of the Monkey Island series.

Same. There's a list of similarities on the web somewhere between MI and the movies.

according to this MI site, they were thinking of a monkey island movie and Pirates took some ideas from the game/series...

take a look under the june 16 post on here:

btw, i just finished the 4th game, finally! it was pretty good but i didn't like it quite as much as the others.. nevertheless, really fun and i'm glad i got to play it through at last!!

long live monkey island!!!
