This is adventure gaming at its very best: sharp graphics, excellent voice acting and writing, and solid puzzles throughout. LucasArts even included a walk-through that'll get any new players into the right mindset to solve the bizarre, convoluted, and convulsively funny pun-ridden puzzles in the game. But players who rely on it are missing out. Sometimes it's much funnier to do things the wrong way, because the sharp-minded developers probably already thought of it and are ready to reward you with a humorous comment or action. Completely hilarious, drop-dead gorgeous, and always innovative LucasArts proves once and for all there is ample life left in the adventure genre. --Andrew S. Bub
Pros:
- Excellent voice acting and writing
- Very funny
- Challenging for players of all skill levels
- The controls could be a little more streamlined

Customer Reviews of Escape from Monkey Island (Mac)
Addicting game I bought this game (PC version) at a very low price and I can say it was well worth paying full price for if I couldn't find it on sale. I played it until I couldn't figure out how to beat the grand monkey. I was almost done with it too. I beat at least 5 island monkeys when I gave up. I haven't picked it up since (6 months ago). I recently bought the Mac version, just waiting to load it. All in all I really liked the game.
I love all the Monkey Island games
I got a Mac laptop recently so was quite pleased to see this in Mac version. I did go looking for patches before picking it up thanks to earlier reviews. There are two - both are available not from LucasArts but from the company that translated the game to Mac.
I recommend Monkey Island games to anyone who loves wordplay and goofy puzzles rather than blood and guts. Great fun, especially since you don't die, you just get stuck.
Good game, bad compatibility
The excitement that was about to explode from within me the moment I received my copy of Escape from Monkey Island (Mac) was impossible to describe in words. However, that excitement quickly became that of sorrow when I realized that this game is not very compatible with OS X 3.
The game is playable, but the in-game movies don't seem to like playing. The sound comes out crystal clear, but unless you enjoy being in a simulation of playing a game in a pitch black cave, you'll probably find it as annoying as I did.
And to make sure I was not the only one to have this problem I searched forum after forum only to find out that there are many other people suffering from the same ailment.
If you're running OS 9 to OS X 2, get the game, it's a definite buy -- funny and smart. If you're running OS X 3, beware of some annoyances that will probably stick its ugly head out.
