	Amazon.com: Escape From Monkey Island: Computer & Video Games (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Escape from Monkey Island continues in the hilarious anachronistic tradition of its award-winning PC predecessors, The Secret of Monkey Island, Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge, and The Curse of Monkey Island.
		Escape from Monkey Island is highlighted by hundreds of challenging puzzles, which are set amidst dozens of rich and brilliantly rendered backgrounds.
		A lot of all time Monkey Island fans say this is not as good as the last three, as the point n' click method has been abandoned in favour of using the keyboard, and they HATE the 3d graphics.

	Monkey Island - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Monkey Island is the english translation of Sarushima (猿島), most commonly used by American sailors stationed at Yokosuka Naval base.
		The small island visible as state highway 51 crosses the Manitowish chain of lakes (across from Greer's pier) is the original monkey island, so-named in the 1960s during trips to the old gangster hideout, Little Bohemia, of John Dillinger shoot-out fame.

	Review: Escape from Monkey Island
		Escape from Monkey Island is the fourth in a celebrated series of adventures featuring LucasArts' pirate-wannabe Guybrush Threepwood.
		Her mansion is about to be demolished, and a politician new to the island, Charles L. Charles, is jockeying for the vacant government position.
		Of course, the occupants of Lucre, Melee, and Jambalaya Islands see nothing wrong with the names of their islands, but pronouncing Australia and kangaroos is funny.

		As Gamespot put it, "unfortunately Monkey Kombat may be the single biggest problem with Escape from Monkey Island"[4].
		Additionally Guybrush's Monkey Kombat victory dance appears to be modelled after the dance moves of Michael Jackson.
		Also released for the PlayStation 2, EMI is the second Monkey Island game to have a console release, SMI being the first as it was also released for the Sega CD.

		It seems that each game in the series improves on the last and Escape from Monkey Island (the 4th game in the long running series) is no exception.
		Escape from Monkey Island is the best looking game in the series by far.
		Comedy is what Monkey Island has always been about and the 3D engine helps make the characters even more zany and wacky looking then ever before.

	, ergo we can't include 'quandaryheader.html' like we do elsewhere -->
		It does have that distinctive Monkey Island flavour that we have all come to know and love but the keyboard interface is clumsy and frustrating.
		If this is your first Monkey Island it could impact on your enjoyment of the game as it may leave you feeling like a stranger at a reunion.
		Though many Monkey Island fans will disagree I found this to be the least humorous and immersive of the series and it falls short of the overall quality of Grim Fandango.

	Adventure Gamers : Escape From Monkey Island
		Escape From Monkey Island is the fourth game in the wildly popular Monkey Island series, which goes all the way back to 1990’s classic The Secret of Monkey Island.
		Where The Curse of Monkey Island boiled down to undoing a curse and a long and completely unnecessary explanation of earlier events, EMI has a sophisticated story with many interesting plot twists.
		All in all, Escape From Monkey Island is a quality adventure game even though the restyling of the old locations on Mêlée Island and Monkey Island is a bit of a mixed bag.

	TheForce.Net - Video Games - Reviews - Escape from Monkey Island (PS2)
		Escape from Monkey Island (EMI) may not have been the strongest of the 4 on the PC, but it stands proudly along side the rest of the Playstation 2's library as the one and only adventure game that you must own.
		Thankfully, as Monkey Island has many areas to explore and many conversations between characters, the load times have been kept to a minimum, allowing an easy time getting from one place to another fairly quickly.
		And of course, for all of you who are yet to jump into the world that is Monkey Island, this is the prefect time to join the bandwagon.

	Escape from Monkey Island review
		In this, the fourth Monkey Island game, the player first encounters Guybrush Threepwood as he returns from his honeymoon.
		Little does Guybrush know that he is about to stumble his way through a hilarious series of conundrums, challenges and humiliations on his way to saving the Monkey Island way of life.
		But somewhere in the middle of "Escape from Monkey Island" I began to admire him and feel strangely protective of him.

	Escape From Monkey Island review for the PS2
		But when they return to their hometown of Melee Island, they discover that Elaine is dead, pirates are nowhere to be found, and an odd Australian is buying land like it's going out of style.
		Seeing as how there have been three Monkey Island games before this one, and since this is a straight up port, those of you unfamiliar with the Monkey Island mythos might not get every nuance of a few jokes in the game.
		Monkey Island is known for its humor, and Escape doesn't let down.

	Escape From Monkey Island (pc: 2000): Reviews
		Players who're new to the Monkey Island series may get the sense while playing the game that they're watching a bunch of old friends regale each other with old in-jokes; it's easy to feel as if you're being left out of the fun if you don't catch the references.
		If you're a Monkey Island fan this is a bitter disappointment and if you're not you'll wonder what on earth all the fuss is about.
		The only real problems with ESCAPE FROM MONKEY ISLAND(TM) are an over-reliance on the other games (well, the first two), which is a bit of a p*sser for the uninitiated, and a horrible dropoff in quality in the final third.

	Kids Domain Reviews - Escape from Monkey Island
		In previous Monkey Island titles, the inept pirate-wannabe Guybrush Threepwood got the girl, Governor Elaine Marley and she and her adorable numskull set off on their honeymoon.
		Solve the puzzles on Melee and head to Lucre Island, where poor Guybrush is falsely accused of bank robbery and you need to put together all the evidence to prove his innocence.
		Escape from Monkey Island is another great first person adventure in this hilarious series that combines problem solving challenges with conversational humor, puns and wit (even if some of them are groaners).

	Escape From Monkey Island for PC video game review and cheats (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		But upon their return to Mêlée Island, they discover that Elaine’s been declared dead, a new politician named Charles L. Charles (hmmm) is trying to buy the election with “good times and free grog,” and a mysterious Australian land developer is ruthlessly buying up all the islands in the Caribbean.
		Escape has much more in common with Curse of Monkey Island than with the first two games of the series -- more silly than serious and less sense of foreboding.
		Although not the high point of the Monkey Island series, Escape from Monkey Island earns an overall score of 80 as a worthy addition to the adventure game genre.

	GameOver - Escape from Monkey Island (c) LucasArts
		Escape from Monkey Island (EMI, as I'll refer to it through the rest of the review), is the latest in a series of very successful adventure games.
		The game's story picks up after Curse of Monkey Island (MI3) when you and Elaine (your wife and the governor) return to Melee Island after your honeymoon, only to find Elaine has been declared legally dead and thus no longer governor.
		From there, it progresses into voyaging to multiple islands in the "Tri-Island Area" and, of course, it involves the dastardly LeChuck, arch-nemesis of Guybrush who has the hots for Elaine.

	CNN.com - Technology - Review: Escape from Monkey Island - November 15, 2000
		As Escape From Monkey Island opens, Guybrush Threepwood (Mighty Pirate) and his lovely new wife (and, incidentally, Governor of Melee Islandú) Elaine Marley are just returning home after their three-month honeymoon on the high seas.
		Guybrush's previous adventure, Curse of Monkey Island, was done entirely with hand-drawn 2D animation that made for some great physical gags (watching Guybrush stuff impossibly huge things down his pants still makes me chuckle) that couldn't possibly translate into the new Grim Fandango look.
		Only once on Lucre Island (your second destination in the game) was I completely stumped, having to resort to the old "wander around aimlessly trying to use every item in my inventory on everything I walked by" method of puzzle solving.

	Escape from Monkey Island (2000) (VG) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		I'd never played a Monkey Island game before playing this one but after finishing this game I wish I had.
		I bought this game for the PS2 (My understanding is that this version is virtually identical to the PC version.) The only games of this type that I had played before are the Broken Sword games for PS1 (which were also excellent) so I can only compare this to them.
		Escape from Monkey Island (EMI) is a lot more lighthearted than Broken Sword 1 and 2 (BS1and2).

	UHS: Escape from Monkey Island Review
		As you may remember, previous Monkey Island games have had "swordfighting" sequences where you won by collecting insults and responses to use against your opponents.
		The problem with Monkey Kombat is that you have to do a lot of fighting to learn the moves you need from your opponents, and to make things worse, the combinations change randomly from game to game.
		It's not the best Monkey Island, and it's probably not the best way to start the series -- especially since Curse of Monkey Island (the third title) is still available as a discount title.

		Escape from Monkey Island is a slight departure from the first three games (see The Monkey Island Archives for details of these).
		In the third instalment, Curse of Monkey Island, Guybrush unwittingly gives Elaine a cursed ring for an engagement ring (well it happens…) and has to find a more powerful magic to defeat the curse….
		The interface is similar to that used in Curse of Monkey Island (use three options – Use, Pick Up, Talk), except that you use the cursor keys instead of the mouse.

		This is why the announcement of Escape from Monkey Island, Lucas' fourth game in the popular graphic adventure series, came as such a surprise.
		The Secret of Monkey Island, the first in the series, introduced us to Guybrush Threepwood, the young and slightly goofy man striving to be a pirate.
		Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge involves you avoiding the villain while trying to find the treasure called Big Whoop (weird name, but it's the early 90's), which is sure to hold amazing powers.

		The Insult Fighting in this game is a bit different from the previous Monkey Island games, you should take some notes as you learn the new combat.
		This is the fourth Monkey Island game, but you do not need to have played the others to enjoy this one.
		Since this is the fourth Monkey Island game, we can but hope that he is right.

	Escape from Monkey Island Preview
		The story of Monkey Island 4 begins a few months after the events in The Curse of Monkey Island, with Guybrush and Governor Elaine Marley returning from their honeymoon, only to realize that "something's rotten" on Melee Island.
		Man, did Dex ever had troubles with it Monkey Island 4 will have only one skill level in the game, so you can forget about "Monkey Lite." The idea is that people, who played the game, played it mostly at "Hard", so there'd be no need to waste development time on the lite version.
		Sean and Mike claim that the puzzle difficulty is on par with Grim Fandango and The Curse of the Monkey Island but a bit easier than the devilishly tough Monkey Island 2: Le Chuck's Revenge.

		It was built of fl stone and loomed menacingly from the outer rim of the crater of Monkey Island's recently woken volcano.
		It was some time since Guybrush had last traveled through the earth beneath the Giant Monkey Head, but he could still remember the spinal staircase of the Monkey, the rivers of lava, the hellish faces carved in the rock, the purple mushrooms.
		Monkeys were scuttling along the ground, swinging from tree to tree, jumping about in cannibal huts.
