You'll see text descriptions of these things at the bottom of the screen, and if several are in the same area, you can switch Guybrush's attention between any of them, using the shoulder buttons by default. You control Guybrush using the Dual Shock 2's left analog stick, and as you maneuver him around each area, he'll automatically look in the direction of anything of interest. The game takes place in a series of mostly static, prerendered scenes found throughout the Tri-Island area.
But now that the damage is done, it'll be up to you and Guybrush to help put a stop to all these various evils, even as you discover the sinister connections between them. Apparently Guybrush and Elaine took a little too much time off for their honeymoon. And in the midst of all this, a terrible artifact known only as the Ultimate Insult threatens to fall into the wrong hands. Worse yet, an embittered Australian businessman named Ozzie Mandrill is buying up all of the Tri-Island area's best shops and hang-outs, and turning them into gentrified, soulless tourist traps like StarBuccaneers.
Charles is running for Elaine's "vacated" position. Meanwhile, an arrogant, silver-tongued politician named Charles L. Unfortunately the two of them soon discover that not only has Elaine been declared dead in her absence but also her mansion home is in danger of being torn down. Fortunately, these shortcomings shouldn't get too much in the way of your enjoying this amusing, clever game.Įscape from Monkey Island begins when Guybrush returns home from a three-month honeymoon at sea with his new wife, Elaine, who happens to be governor of the Tri-Island area, somewhere in the Caribbean. However, it's hampered slightly by some of its more nonsensical puzzles, which can be frustrating to solve, and also because of the barrage of Monkey Island in-jokes found in the game, which won't seem so funny if you haven't played the previous games.
The game features plenty of great-looking scenery, memorable characters, and funny dialogue. That might sound dangerous, but you can't ever die in Escape from Monkey Island-the challenge consists of figuring out what to do next as you stumble through all kinds of bizarre situations. In each installment, his misadventures have culminated in a confrontation with the evil pirate LeChuck, who comes back in each game in some ghastlier form, like something out of a horror movie series. Like all its predecessors, Escape from Monkey Island stars Guybrush Threepwood, a pencil-neck pirate also-ran who's pretty smart but not much to look at. It's actually the fourth chapter in the Monkey Island series, which originally debuted on the PC more than 10 years ago. Escape from Monkey Island is an offbeat adventure game that's been ported to the PlayStation 2 from the PC version that was released late last year.
