Faith Posted June 10, 2001 Share Posted June 10, 2001 TRUE OR FALSE? i think it has, i thought CMI was great, but thats the complicated bit, it should have been hand drawn, and escape from monkey island was stupid, it didnt even seem like monkey island at all. The 1st three yes, brilliant. but EMI killed it all!!!!!!! ------------------ Faith faith: "Well, when I'm fighting, it's like the whole world goes away, and I only know one thing: that I'm gonna' win, and they're gonna' lose.

storken Posted June 10, 2001 Share Posted June 10, 2001 It ruined the story, and the tradition of making great MI games. ------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiScO StU Posted June 10, 2001 Share Posted June 10, 2001 I agree it ruined the series, but it wasn`t the worst game ever. My only problems with it was that: crappy story line monkey combat ultimate insult not enough insults graphics could of use more detail many puzzles were easy didn`t have the old monkey island humour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoneMaster Posted June 10, 2001 Share Posted June 10, 2001 Everyone says that monkey kombat sucks. i think it was pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaMonkey Posted June 10, 2001 Share Posted June 10, 2001 I still haven't played it trough - altho' I have it sitting next to my monitor Just haven't gotten the time... perhaps I'll spend some summer-nights solving the puzzles. When I get that new computer [ as the game has TERRIBLE graphical bugs in our computer - must be our 3d accelerator ]. Then I can truly say my opinion. But I must say that CMI is really wonderful game. Love it ------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtBlanc Posted June 10, 2001 Share Posted June 10, 2001 I don't have any problems with the graphics of EMI, in fact I thought they were fabulous. It isn't graphics that makes a game or not. But anyways EMI did have serious problems. The plot was very contrived and it wasn't intelligent in any way. It was disrespectful to the past games in that it changed the history of the serious and added many plot holes to the story, consequently hurting the series. The humor, as I have said before, is amusing, but never funny. The puzzles are all really stupid, with little or no clues and no logic required in reaching the solution (There are exceptions to this.) I don't think the insults play into it, LCR was a great game and it was insult free. And it did have the old monkey island humor (sorry, I'm working off of Stu's post as a guide here), the problem was it didn't create any new humor, almost all the jokes were references to previous games. I don't think we should go and say that EMI has ruined the series. Sure it was a very weak game, but when you seperate it from the rest of the series, it isn't that bad of a game. Lot's of series have had one really bad game, and let's give LEC another chance. ------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marley Posted June 10, 2001 Share Posted June 10, 2001 I agree with Dinghy EMI didnt ruin the seires it just weakened it. thats all. now it has a few gliches. ------------------ AHHHHHHH I grew 2 more heads am I going crazy? please dont answer that.

DiScO StU Posted June 11, 2001 Share Posted June 11, 2001 Emi wasn`t a failure, i mean it was good enough for me to want to play the other 3 monkey island games. Like i said it did have problems but it did have aspects: it was original, new villians, new cotrols, new look, new sidegames(monkey kombat) 3D graphics were great like all lec games the music was good lot`s of charcters lot`s of places(well, maybe not as many places as the others).

BoneMaster Posted June 12, 2001 Share Posted June 12, 2001 yep. MI 2 is the best. but sometimes i like MI 1 more. MI 1 and 2 are far better than CMI and EMI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. Buttonhead Posted June 25, 2001 Share Posted June 25, 2001 CMI is pretty good if you look at it as a stand alone game. But as a long awaited successor to MI2 it fails in a big way (whuch is a shame). The best thing about it for me will always be hearing the Monkey Island theme tune done with real instruments. I cheered when I first heard it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
