Holy balls this game is fun. Gonna play this with my kids when they get older.

Probably my favorite part of the Monkey Island series. The graphic style is timeless, really beautiful hand-drawn graphics. Sure, it's not by Ron Gilbert and therefore not a "meaningful" continuation of the second game, but it's a great point-and-click in itself, which continues the story in a very fitting way. The soundtrack was also great, as was the puzzle design, awesome game :)

anyone who dislikes this game is wrong, actually (i am making direct eye contact with ron gilbert)

I love this game. It desperately needs a remaster, the hand-drawn graphics are lovely but they're terribly low-res by today's standards. Surely the original paintings still exist somewhere, get them scanned already!

Yo why the hell hadn't I played this game before? As a huge Monkey Island fan this was always a gaping hole for me, but this game was so much fun, hilarious, and one of the best monkey island games I've played!!! First out, huge shout out to Ed for gifting me this one so I could finally stop being lazy and playing this.

This one has some of the best music in the series, some of the best puzzles (that don't feel too crazy obtuse for the most part) it's fully and very well voice acted, and a funny story to continue on Guybrush's crazy adventures.

I think my only complaint here (like a lot of these games) is I really do wish it was a little longer. Only five hours for me to complete here, of course, if you're not good with these types of games that might take longer.

I think overall I still slightly prefer Monkey Island 2, but a genuinely fantastic game, and one of the best monkey islands!!!
