LeChuck lives Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Do you think MI4 was the biggest waist of time ever? The reason i put this poll up was to see if anyone actually liked this game Much? I personally didnt like it that much. Although it wasnt the worst adventure game ive ever played it wasnt acctually that good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernil Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 To summerize it all up: everyone has an opinion. mine? it was a good adventure game. a great adventure game. Quite close to as good as the other 3 Monkey Islands. Is that good? In a monkey island fanatics eyes...no. It's not up to scratch. In an adventure gamer's eyes....yes; It was a good game. Overall rating.....8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelsonjr Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 I loved MI4. I don't care what other fans say, I like this one just as much as I love the other ones. A few minor plotholes isn't enough to make a game bad (in my opinion). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushmeister Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 I think, like the majority of people that it is a good adventure game, but a poor Monkey Island game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabez Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 Yeah, I think it's good but not great. Heartily recommended to fans of the genre though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izzbizz Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 I think it was good, not as good as MI1, MI2 or MI3 but hey, it was still good. Personally, I didn't like the graphics that much, I thought the MI1 and MI2 graphics were stunning and just classic and I'd be SO happy if LucasArts did MI5 in ye olde 1989-1991 graphic, they ruled! I thought the MI4 storyline was OK and everything was pretty much ok but in the poll above I voted for 'good' because u couldn't really say anything bad about anything Monkey Island cos there isn't anything (and lechuck will come after u if you do say anything nasty! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tahnee Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Did it have good graphics for the time? I think so, yes. The characters rather came to life for me. Did it have a good (or maybe just "okay") plot, a little different from the usual "LeChuck's out to kill Guybrush and marry Elaine" fare? Yes. Did it have humor and satire leaking out its ears? Oh yes. Did it pull through on the character level, presenting believable, dynamic main characters? ...No. EMI flopped when it came to characters. Satire is great, I love satire, but I got a little sick of "Guybrush the funny man," "Elaine the Ice Queen" and "LeChuck the idiot." They're more than that. They've been more than that in the past three games. That's the only thing that disappoints me about EMI. The characters went out to lunch and left cardboard cutouts behind, hoping nobody'd notice the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshi Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 If I'd gotten here in time, I would have closed this, but too many people have posted now. You're all skating on thin ice here. Now, yes, I liked it, happy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aenigmatis Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 I don't think EMI was a really bad game, but I'm not to fond of the way it was working. I have to say I'm a big fan of the old point and click system, may be basic, but it didn't take ages to get used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a bad thread? Ok, yes, it's all been said before. What else is poor about it? Quite Confused, Ernil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshi Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 I'm simply annoyed about the repetitiveness, there are plenty of the same damn threads about which can easily be found in this exact forum, so why star a new topic over it? But there are too many replies now, so I won't close it unless it becomes a spam or flame thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectrum Knight Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 MI4 suffer to my view from a 3D rendering wich is an insult to the amazing artistic level of the previous games. Say I'm old fashioned, it may be true but, i tel you my mind deep from my gutts ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, MOnkey 3 is the most beautiful game i've ever played, almost every room, path, landscape was beautiful to look at, even watch the intro credits everytime i boot the game just to see the drawings, awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anomonous Guy Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 i com-pleted MI 3 again yesterday, and it sure has got alot of character development compared to MI4... But a game just isnt the same if u have played it before, i really couldnt feel myself getting into the story very much, although i must say when i replayed MI4 i could find myself getting into it... weird...

XPelargos Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 It's kind of funny how I was introduced to the Monkey Island Series. I first got EMI for Christmas, and thought it was the best adventure game in te universe. Then, I embarked on a quest to play the other three games. First, I found SoMI and played that, and thought: "Wow, this is pure gaming rapture!" Then, I played MI2, and it blew me away. Sadly, because I use macs, I still haven't played MI3 or Grim Fandango, 2 adventure games, I desperately want to play javascript:smilie('') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
