Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge

aka: MI2, The Secret of Monkey Island 2
Moby ID: 289

DOS version

Monkey Island has been THE most influential adventure game in the history of adventure games.

The Good
The fact that it's plain perfect. The humour is constant, and even though it's an old games, the animations are great. I played this a long time ago, when 256 colors still were kind of new. But hell if I don't play it at times. This game has great replayability value. The fact that there's a 'lite' version gives you the chance of playing the game and getting the overall idea. But then, to go on to the 'full' version. This adds 20-40 locations and a LOT of puzzles. The normal puzzles are harder as well.

The Bad
Not much. I love this game and keep it by my bedside.

The Bottom Line
This is a game you must have played if you like adventure games. They blow away almost every Sierra adventure game, except Gabriel Knight 1, which is a similar game. Play both. Play them until your thumbs bleed. You'll agree when you do.
