This is also one of the hardest point and click games that this reviewer has dealt with due to the absurd logic that the game follows. Not only does that happen but it has to be one of the most bizarre things that this reviewer has ever seen in his life.
You will gather up ingredients for a voodoo doll, hypnotize a piano playing monkey by sticking a banana on a metronome and watch the ghosts of your dead parents turn into skeletons and dance a jaunty little jig. Of course all of this is told in about as wild and zany a manner as the game can muster while still being a coherent adventure. again, chasing Guybrush as he pursues the lost treasure. Through a twist of fate LeChuck is brought back from the dead. Picking up from shortly after the end of the first game, Monkey Island 2 sees Guybrush in pursuit of the great mythical treasure, The Big Whoop. In the first game our hero Guybrush Threepwood, he of the constantly mocked name, had managed to defeat the evil ghost pirate LeChuck through a combination of dumb luck and root beer. There were a few issues with the game but they were easily overlooked which made it one of the easy downloadable purchases of the year. Complete with all of the jokes that made the original such a laugh, including the revered stump joke and even the references to Loom, it was the definitive version of the game. Last year we were blessed to get a complete remake of the first game, The Secret of Monkey Island.
Series like King's Quest, Space Quest and, of course, Monkey Island were big enough hits to essentially fund companies like Lucasarts game division or Sierra Entertainment. We're talking huge like only games like Halo can possibly understand nowadays.
But back in the heyday of the venerable Amiga, when PC gaming was first taking off these types of games were huge. Oh sure people still make them but these are mostly relegated to European developers who make some pretty obtuse games with the genre. Point and click games are something of a lost art.
