The Bottom Line:

"Best in series"

What can anyone say about the third game of the series? Lucasarts is ahead of its time and manages to stun the fans with this brilliant adventure. Guybrush Threepwood and Elaine Marley are back, but LeChuck is too (yeah, yeah, and his voodoo cannon ball).

Guybrush is awkwardly attempting to propose to Elaine with...WHAT? A cursed engagement ring, which instantly turns her into a statue (waiting anxiously to punch him). Now, in Guybrush's new adventure, our well-known hero tries to gather a crew and sail away in order to find a way to break the spell. He meets Murray, a witty yet naive talking skull, he gets involved in new insult swordfighthing situations and of course he does a lot of puzzle-solving and stuff.

The dialogues aret truly inspiring with an extreme dose of humor, as Dominic Armato is lending his voice on Guybrush and does a hell of a job.

The Curse of Monkey Island is undoubtfully a truly amazing game, with superb visuals and plot, clever game mechanics and I won't spoil the rest, just get it, play it, love it, adore it etc. My work here is done and...oh look, a three-headed monkey!
