6About Return to Monkey Island
Return to Monkey Island is an unexpected, thrilling return of series creator Ron Gilbert that continues the story of the legendary adventure games The Secret of Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge developed in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games. It’s been many years since Guybrush Threepwood was last locked in a battle of wits with his nemesis, the zombie pirate LeChuck. His true love, Elaine Marley, has turned her focus away from governing and Guybrush himself is adrift and unfulfilled, having never found the Secret of Monkey Island. Hip, young pirate leaders led by Captain Madison have shuffled the old guard from power, Melee Island has taken a turn for the worse, and famed businessman Stan has been imprisoned for ‘marketing-related crimes’. Banter with old friends and new faces on familiar islands now under dangerous new leadership. Then, take to the high seas and explore the new and unknown as you work your way out of tough predicaments. Clever puzzles, bizarre situations, and devastating ripostes are all that stand between Guybrush and glory.Return to Point & Click Swashbuckling. Bringing classic point and click gameplay to the modern-day, intrepid pirates

Remember the way Monkey Island 2 ended?
Remember the way Monkey Island 2 ended? That weird mess that confused the hell outta everybody? Well, the first 15 minutes of this game manage to "save" it completely and suddenly, it all makes sense. And this is just one reason (out of many, many reasons I will experience as I play this game, I believe) you owe it to yourself to play RtMI. Thank you, Ron! EDIT: 3+ hours in and I love it! The music is there, the humor is there, and it's the perfect combination of nostalgia and fresh. The puzzles so far are fun and the inclusion of a hint book as an inventory item that never gets in your way is rather clever. Oh, and I love the trivia book! Really tests your knowledge of the series! You can clearly tell that this game is a labor of love. And the art style - love it or hate it - simply works when you see it in motion. EDIT 2: Have a drink whenever someone mentions "The Secret of Monkey Island". Now there's an idea for a party game that will get everyone drunk! :D

Exactly what I hoped for
Before writing this review I need to state that Monkey Island has defined my childhood and put me on a path where making games became my sole goal. I'm not a purist so I don't hate Monkey 3,4 or any of the TellTale episodes and I don't see Ron Gilbert as the Monkey Messiah. I will start with the Negative aspects and end with the Positives: Things I did not like:
