Escape From Monkey Island, Sony Playstation

Bad guy LeChuck is up to his old tricks again, and you, playing as central character Guybrush Threepwood, is the man called upon to make the world a safer place for pirates. And so begins the greatest chapter in the legendary Monkey Island series. Escape from Monkey Island features pre-rendered backdrops in which the 3D characters roam. Environments are colourful and boast a stunning level of interactivity. While this is a standard feature in the Monkey Island games, it's nice to see it on a next-generation console. Your epic adventure will see you confronting evil pirates and interacting with many non-playable characters. But you will often find yourself stuck in life-threatening predicaments, and it is in these situations that many of the puzzles arise. Puzzles are the essence of the gameplay, and in many situations a trial-and-error strategy works best. EFMI is not presented as dark and scary as seen in the likes of Resident Evil and Dino Crisis. On the contrary, EFMI is light-hearted, consisting of many puns, hilarious jokes and sarcastic comments. It's funny, it's challenging and it works. Enough said.
