GAMEPLAY 10/10
It really is easy to get used to. Like the adventure games of old you can pick up, examine, eat, use etc etc. Simply hold the left mouse button over something or someone and the three options appear. You can right click and enter your items page, here you can select an item to use or combine with another. It definetly doesn't take long to get use to. If you have never played an adventure point and click game then you should take about 30minutes to get used to it. There are two difficulties, normal and "mega monkey" which involves more puzzles. I highly recommend starting the normal mode, it is a tough game and after completing it you can have fun trying even more puzzles with the other mode.
GRAPHICS 10/10
This isn't Half Life 2 or Metal Gear Solid. It isn't meant to be. It's a fun cartoonish adventure game. It looks fantastic, a major step up from the first and second...and the fourth was a step down from this....even if it is 3D! It looks great and is fun...just like the game. You can try enabling 3D graphics in the options, with hilarious results.
SOUND 10/10
I went as far as to get a hold of the soundtrack. It usually isn't my style of music but it was great to listen to whilst playing. Some atmospheric music and some "pirate" sounding music. The voice acting is terrific and without this, many of the jokes would have fell flat.
VALUE 10/10
I bought this as part of a "bounty pack" along with the first and second game for only £20. That was years ago and you can get this game mega cheap nowadays. It is really worth it, you will have lots of fun. I have completed it many times, at least 12. ------
Giving this game a 10/10 is justified. Im basing this on adventure games. The gameplay, graphics, sound and replay value are everything you want from an adventure game like this. There are few "point and click" games that equal this one. If you have never played any of these types of games before, this is definetly the place to start...it really is Perfect!
