Monkey Island 4-Again! 08 May, 2001 / Comments: 7

By Jake


For the second E3 in a row, LucasArts has announced... Escape From Monkey Island! That's right, your favorite pirate and his wacky pals should be heading to a PlayStation 2 near you this Spring.

Not exciting, you say? Well, as the opening flash animation reminds us, it's not. The PS2 port was announced a while ago, but it seems the all Star Wars parade needed a little breaking up.

From the screenshots, though, it appears they fixed up (made easier) Monkey Kombat, as mentioned in the chat with EMI's Project Leaders. The Giant Monkey Head also appears to be less silver, but this could be attributed to my ever increasing insanity.

    Don't complain all out yet, there could still be some suprises.

    Well... Jefferey promised an adventure for E3. Just too bad it was the same damn game as last year. I'll be majorly pissed off if that's the last adventure game they announce.

    What was so difficult about Monkey Combat? I took like five minutes to go through that section, and it wasn't even an action sequence?

    I've been trying for the last few years to fool myself, but let's face it... LucasArts is dead. There is just a new company called Star Wars Games.

    We interrupt our Star Wars announcements to bring you this ONE adventure? Does this frighten anyone else? One is a lonely number. But I suppose LucasArts knows what they're doing. Wait, no they don't, because they just rejected my summer internship application! My dreams are now crushed! Now I won't get to work for LEC or play a new adventure game within the next year!? Sorry, the bitter rambling has subsided. Keep plugging away, LucasArts. I just can't stay mad at you! :)
