This is a GREAT game! I don't own it (As I'm in australia and can't buy it) but I have played it! You have to be a DIEHARD fan of python to know the questions in the maze! THIS IS GREAT VALUE! YOU WILL BUY NOW! then go and buy some SPAM. or become a lumberjack. I own Monty python and the holy grail AND I ALSO RECOMEND YOU BUY IT! (REQUIRED: that You've seen the movie first!) With cool mini games. "I'm NOT dead! I feel fine!"
GET IT...

Monty Python's Looney Bin is the best game ever for computer all though when you you play Monty Python Quest for the Holy Grail it shows the guy with the butt horns and you have to answer those stupid questions and it shows some nudity. It's still the best when it starts it shows some naked guys blowing horns with their rear ends and then the king comes out of the clouds and talks to King Arthur. An english explorer talks to you and you go on adventures, see this is the thing I like the most King Arthur looks like he's riding a horse but he isn't he's galloping and he has a squire with to halves of a coconut and is making a galloping noise. You fight the black night and the evil rabbit I won't ruin the story for you but it's all good and a bag of chips.
Nothing new, but a great bundle.

Before you but this, realize that this title is the "Monty Python's Complete Waste of Time" desktop accessory package and the "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" game bundled into one package. Nowhere in the item info does this jump out at you.
Knowing that, it's a great deal. Ten bucks for two python fan must-haves.

Once again, the crew from Monty Python has produced an entertaining, yet mindless game fro the gamer who is fed up woth action games. From "spotting the looney" to blowing up bushes, this game has it all.
Only For the Fans

I bought this game with high hopes having enjoyed their Meaning of Life game, but I am very disappointed by it. The Holy Grail Game mainly consists of chopped up and disjointed clips, images and soundbites from the movie making it far more worthwhile to just watch the movie itself. There is some new humour in it as well as scenes cut from the movie (which, I imagaine, can be found on the DVD), but none of this new content is particularly great and you have to try to get through an extremely frustrating game in order to get to much of it. The Meaning of Life was very surreal, but at least the puzzles made some sense. Here, the puzzles make no sense at all.
The Complete Waste of Time also contains cut up scenes, images, and sound bites that can be found in more enjoyable formats, such as Flying Circus videos. At least most of this content can be enjoyed on its own, which is good since the main game that's included is even more frustrating and boring and makes less sense than the Holy Grail game. There are also silly desktop-quality video games that are mildly amusing but also, as the title suggests, wastes of time. The Pythonizer is a cute collection of screen savers, icons, etc., whose novelty quickly wears off.
For the low price, this isn't a bad deal for the new content that makes up a small percentage of the package, so I still recommend it to diehard fans, but its not the best way to relive the original material.
