LucasArts' acclaimed Monkey Island series makes a welcome debut on PS2. This is one helluva jaunt that features an hysterical blend of adventure, puzzle-solving and hilariously cheesy puns as you navigate your way through the madcap world that is Melee Island. With a cast that features sociopathic parrots, a megalomaniac politician, more monkeys than you can shake a stick at, and a dose of voodoo thrown in for good measure too, this game is totally ludicrous but utterly addictive!

Spitting the sand of Monkey Island from my mouth, I wondered if the life of a mighty pirate was all it was cracked up to be. I'd ignored recent events that should have been warning shots across the bow of my soul, from my wife's brush with death to the anti-pirate ramblings of an Australian gazillionaire. If only I'd chosen a different path, LeChuck might still be dead and the Ultimate Insult might have remained a mystery. If I'd never picked up a sword, the grog-swilling pirates of the Tri-Island Area might be unthreatened by the forces of my gentrification and demonic heckfire. If only... suddenly, the hairy finger of a familiar monkey tapped me on the shoulder. It was time. Time for the biggest battle of my swashbuckling life.
