every 10 seconds.Īnd then theres the fact that you have a pretty high chance of your gamesave being broken from the start but you wont find out until a few hours into the game (when you use a rowboat to get to the bad guys hut) and then you have to download AN ADDITIONAL third party program to retroactively patch your gamefiles/gamesave to fix it unless you want to restart the game and hope for the best potentially repeatedly. Unless you're running this on an old machine and/or have an old school monitor you need a third party program just to run it through to get it to look passable AND GOD HELP YOU if you're also running a multi-monitor setup and somehow have less patience than me (which is not a lot)Īnd then there's the game breaking bugs that make you have to reload your last save nearly constantly at some points so don't forget to save, like. the lack of a cursor is a travesty and pointing guybrush at the things you need to interact with is just a mess. The controls are abysmal making this a ps2 game instead of just a pc game was the biggest mistake they could have made. unfortunately that's all the praise I can give it in good faith.
the story and puzzle solving is on par with the series.
I said I'd recommend it but I want to make it clear that I only recommend this particular game (and version) if you're reaallllyyyyy a fan of the Monkey Island series.
