The Curse of Monkey Island (1997 Video Game)
This is truly the greatest adventure game ever.
28 April 2000
COMI is the third in Lucasart's series of Monkey Island games and benefits from the advanced technology available for the first time in a Monkey Island game. The action is depicted through wonderful, cartoon-style graphics and for the first time we get to hear Guybrush et all speak. In my opinion, Dominic Armato does a great job in voicing Guybrush.

The plot is faithful to its predecessors: Guybrush has to save Elaine from the evil Zombie pirate LeChuck. The trouble begins when Guybrush proposes to Elaine, and involuntarily inflicts a curse on her.

Throughout his adventure, Guybrush again travels the Caribbean and comes across several excellent characters. Personal favourites are Murray and Mr Fossey. The dialogue rarely fails to be witty and entertaining and the puzzles are pitched at a suitable level for most gamers.

It is generally perceived that the ending is somewhat disappointing, a criticism which is not unfair. But this is one minor negative in a game with more than enough features to recommend it. If there has ever been a better point-and-click adventure, I would love to play it.
