spoiler . don not read unless you have play the game . this game be a bit old it first appear in 1990. but that doesn not stop it from be great . this game be make by lucasarts ( at the time they be know a lucasfilm . ) this company be well know for make great adventure game that be funny and easy to play . the secret of monkey island be definitely no exception . it make in three or four different part and something i wasn not accustom to until i play this series . it virtually impossible to die and the game give a fresh new look on the whole adventure platform . the game be pack with great joke and challenge puzzle . it not the type of adventure game where you have to swordfight monster every 2 second ( although you do go through swordfighting training to learn some really funny insult ) or listen while someone blabs on about how theyre avenge the death of their great grandfather second cousin sister nephew half uncle once remove and waste your time with story that do not have anything to do with the game . in the secret of monkey island and you be guybrush threepwood and an aspiring young man who wish to become a pirate . you talk to some pirate in a bar and find out that there three challenge you have to go through to actually become a pirate like them . seem simple enough and but be warn . this isn not your average adventure game . you might find yourself with the strangest tool to do the job . one feature i really like be the challenge the game present . you really have to think outside the box to solve these puzzle and and it make the game really funny . i mean and in what other adventure game can you actually utilize a rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle . the stuff you pick up be totally weird and generally isn not use for what you would expect . the game be also full of great character with all kind of different personality . these weren not over stereotype and blase cookie cutter character that all act and look alike . there everyone from carla and the island cynical sword master and to stan and the high pressure ship salesman that will do anything for a sale . even the men of low moral fiber ( pirate ) be unique . it make for a great gaming experience . in short and this be a great classic that should be play by everyone especially someone look for a fresh new perspective into the world of adventure game . i wish there be more game like the monkey island series . hopefully they will come out with a fifth one sometime in the near future . a it be and i will be enjoy these monkey island game for a long time to come .
