I played the original Monkey Island game on the Amiga when I was a lot younger, and so understand where the whole game series is coming from. I bought The Curse Of Monkey Island as part of the Monkey Island Bounty pack, which included the first 2 games on 1 CD. However, the 3rd game came on 2. The reason for this is because the game is much higher resolution, and the characters have been given the cartoon treatment. The introduction is a mini-cartoon in itself, and the production quality it excellent. LucasArts have clearly put their back into this game. Something introduced into this game not in the previous two is voice-acting. All the characters are given their own voices, which means no more peering at text and more attention devoted to the atmosphere of the game. LucasArts didn't stop there, they've also included an interactive song, which I shall leave you to find out about ;) As expected, The Curse Of Monkey Island remains a point-and-click adventure, meaning there's no learning curve when it comes to getting used to the game. I can't imagine anyone not enjoying this.
