The Curse of Monkey Island

Most Helpful Review

"This game is great. Simply put, it shines at the top of its class. The game has so many jokes and puns that you'll be laughing more than you'll be playing. It has great cartoonish graphics that perfectly compliment the games already hilarious story, adding hilariously drawn characters and scenery. The puzzles are perfectly done, not to hard, with just the right amount of thinking and common sense put together. Sound is awesome, as each character sounds completely different, ranging from primitive piratey to snooty french (no offense intended) to laid back hill-billyish and everywhere in between. However, there are some very annoying glitches with the game. The game requires Windows 95. Now I have Windows 98, that should'nt be a big deal, but since this game came out in 97, there were some major problems with starting the game. Now i'm not saying that the problem had to be windows, but i had every thing it needed and more... way more, and the only difference I could find is the windows 95/98. So if you have '98, you can partially solve the problem by downloading DirectX 7.0a or above, which helped me start the game up, and help it run smoother. One other main glitch, is if you have a program running in the back, like if your downloading music or movies, and it stops or finishes, the game can lock up, and exit, so if your downloading anything, you may wanna wait to play this game. Altogether, I would definately've given this game a 5 star rating, as it so sorely deserves, but these glitches can't be discounted, no matter how small."
