The Monkey Island series have always been among the greatest of adventure games. Curse of Monkey Island is my favorite in the series, mainly for it's spectacular animation and side-splitting dialogue. And what other game allows you to store massive ram-rods in your pants? It took me nearly 20 hours to beat this game, although it really isn't very long. The puzzles are amazing, yet fiercely difficult at times. More than once was I crying to the skies in frustration while playing the game. But lord, was it worth it. From beginng to the end, Curse of Monkey Island will have you laughing.

My Favorite

SIMPLY THE BEST GAME EVER!!! I have played all of the Monkey Island games, and my favorite is CMI. The controls and format are much more enjoyable to play than even the last MI (Escape from...). I replay this game at least once a year, and I appreciate the 2 levels of play. Mega-monkey level has more puzzles, adding more difficulty for repeat players.
MI is my favorite series of games with entertaining storylines, cutscenes, humor, and inside jokes--though I have to admit the LucasArts "no death" policy is attractive. Call me a wimp, but I don't like to die and restart after investing several hours into a game!!

WOW!

After 10 years, the graphics still look great. I really like it. Especially full voice dialoge.

It runs smoothly in Windows XP, and you have use ScummVM in order to do that. (The game can run without it, but I have faced voice repeating problem)

You can download ScummVM at [...]

Outstanding! Hands down the best adventure game out there!

The Monkey Island (MI) series is by far the best adventure game series. The puzzles are challenging yet logical and the graphics on this is wonderful! I love the cartoony graphics.

The Curse of Monkey Island is, in my opinion, the best of the MI series. The intuitive point-and-click controls make it a snap to control Guybrush and the hillarious yet challenging puzzles, great voices, and wonderful acting make this a highly engrossing game.

I unfortunately lost the second CD on this game and tore the house upside down looking for it. I'm considering buying it again. It's THAT good!

I rarely give 5 stars, only reserving the ranking for the best of the best, and the Curse of Monkey Island certainly is the best.

just as much fun as the first

When I read the review and it said 30 plus hours of gameplay, I hoped to get at least that, but instead I only got about 8. Other than the game's short length, it has to be one of the best games I have ever played. Great cut-scenes, graphics, and voice overs.

This is the best game!

Hey, You should defanentally buy this game! It is the best gamer in the world! And I have played many games, its better than the first and second game! You'll meet Stan again and other new charecters that you will love, including Murry the talking skull, and your ship mates who will help you on your battles with other ships! And best of all more insults! The graphics are great, and you never die! Except for once, but that happens no matter what you do. (Guybrush looks funny when hes dead), and hes still as dumb as in the other ones! And you even make a man bold! AHHH! Buy this game now, or youll regret it for the rest of your life!

One of the best adventures ever

The third Monkey Island game is most likely the second best (MI2 being the best). The game is fairly large, with some rather devious puzzles which never gets too frustrating. The graphics are amazing, while the voice acting and music is some of the best I've heard. It's hard to find anything wrong with this game, except for the rather flat ending. Can't wait for Escape from Monkey Island!
