I don't think it's been released in Australia yet. |
Paperboy  Posts: 16 Joined: 4 Feb 2009    | This certainly wasn't your best review, but you once again touch on the subject of developers raiding our childhood memories and classics for products instead of simply investing in something original, which I respect. It has already been mentioned before, but until they start getting the idea it won't hurt to simply say it again and again. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3545 Joined: 7 Oct 2008  | This was easily the most hardest to understand ZP ever. Yahtzee, it's either the accent OR talking fast. When you put the two together, I can hardly tell what you're saying. Let alone pick up on whether it's funny or not. |

Anonymous Source  Posts: 2 Joined: 3 May 2008  | I'm Irish, and I thought that was pretty funny. Weirdly I understood every word you said, even though your accent was terrible and everyone here claims it was indecipherable. Maybe it was too Irish.... |

Paperboy  Posts: 34 Joined: 25 Aug 2009  | Exhuming videogame series has a short-term effect of conveying glaring memories to sew back my broken heart, until I realize most revivals are crap and that my life is better now than as a fervent, allowance-less nipper. Abandoning a series to die in virtue of its good name and moving on is merit I acknowledge. Sometimes it is difficult, but....argh, damn you Super Mario World...you and your 4 megabits of nostalgic venom! Keep up the good work Yahtzee, and that Irish accent is soothing when I'm pregnant with hatred. |

Sorry I jumped to the conclusion, I only saw Family guy pulling stuff like that before. I thought it was hilarious when they did it but I only took your post any differently was because you put "So true" at the end of the sentence. I should think before I speak. Sorry again. |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 67 Joined: 11 Dec 2008 | As a fellow of authentic Irish blood, I must say: That was HILARIOUS! |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1593 Joined: 6 Oct 2008   | I found the accent funny. |
Muckraker  Posts: 242 Joined: 22 Jul 2008  | Bahahahahahahahahaha .... Okay, done laughing at the Irish accent. Seriously, maybe I'm just easy to please but that stereotype was utterly hilarious. Worlds better than the South African accent from the Far Cry 2 in that he wasn't trying to randomly work it in. Great review overall - always interesting to see his old loves collide with new reboots. Though I thought Curse of Monkey Island was really really good - plot was pretty much the original with a new paint swap but the voice acting was terrific and the puzzles interesting - but that could be because I played it before the first two. Escape from Monkey Island was a half-hearted effort though and certainly "a slimy white burst of fan-wank circling the shower drain." Curious that he didn't mention anything about the remake of the original "Secret of Monkey Island" (TM) even as an offhand comment, but what can you do I suppose - we all know how he feels about remakes, even ones that are virtually verbatim copies of the original. |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 363 Joined: 22 Jun 2009 | Wow, one of my favorite ZP reviews ever. The jokes, Irish accent or not, always had me laughing. I knew your opinion of the game as soon as you said "The first two games are still timelessly imaginative, sparkling, and very very funny, and therefore have no place in this review." |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 617 Joined: 29 Oct 2008  | Ah that was my first introducion to adventure as such. Didn't really get as much play time with the originals and got fustrated with the Fecking banjo challenge.(if anyone knows what I mean any ideas how to solve the caber tossing thingy after it) |

Anonymous Source Posts: 8 Joined: 1 Jul 2009  | the first two games were (and probably still are) two of my favourite games ever. but i was a little dissapointed with the third and im not sure i can bring myself to play these new ones. i just get the feeling that they will make me want to tear my hair out. the irish accent started out well, but i think it was sliping near the end. |

Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 688 Joined: 16 Apr 2009    | Great video. I never actually played any of the Tales of Monkey Island games, but your review gives me a powerful JRPG vibe, so I'm glad I didn't. |
Paperboy  Posts: 42 Joined: 2 Sep 2009  | Drat, blast, and fie! I was working on my own Monkey Island review (first time I've played it ever, honest), but there seems little point in it now... |

No.
And I say this as a someone old enough to have played the original, and who played through Monkey Island ES on XBLA.
Monkey Island is fun, but it plays like a Flash game more than a game. If you like adventure games, and you are the kind of guy who install SCUMM on DOSBOX just to play them, or you tried and liked stuff like Nanobot or Spooks* pick it up.
