The Curse of Monkey Island

I don't know how LucasArts keeps making these games. Just when you'd think they ran out of ideas for a game, they come back with a sequel that will blow your mind for sure. That's why they're the best.

Story

Our old friend -- Guybrush Threepwood is sitting around in a suspicious looking vessel out in the middle of the ocean (or so he thinks). When he finally quits whining, he realises that he's in the middle of a battle. The evil pirate LeChuck is trying to take a fort and marry the one that commands it: Elaine Marley. Guybrush manages to defeat LeChuck's forces and swipes a diamond ring from his ship while he's at it. Unfortunately he doesn't know, that the ring is cursed. When the big moment comes and he gives it to his love--Elaine, she turns into a solid gold statue. Now he has to turn back Elaine, but how does he carry her ? A gold statue is safe on the beach, right? Wrong.

Opinion

Unbelievable. That's the only word that comes to mind right now. Unfortunately, my scale only goes 1-10, but 10 is definitely not enough for this game. The graphics, the music, the story, the jokes, etc. All of them are just perfect. The game isn't too easy, but the puzzles are very logical. My only problem was, that it was too short. Why is it, that always the games that are great are short, and the ones that suck seem to go on forever?
