 IGN: Escape From Monkey Island Review
Fans of Monkey Island could see the game in old pixilated form forever, and never squeak a word of complaint towards their sacred (monkey) idol.
Characters will speed up and slow down for moments when going through in-game cutscenes, or through complicated animations, and while it's far from horrible, it can definitely get annoying.
Old characters reappear, relationships are fleshed out in even more humorous detail, and old locations are brought back for your joy and giggles.

As the couple’s ship approaches the island, Elaine wonders aloud about how many people will be waiting on the docks to greet them; what she doesn’t know is that there won’t be a soul.

I came away with the suspicion that my enjoyment of Curse of Monkey Island is somehow more of a sad reflection on how many things the adventure-game genre has been doing collectively wrong for the past ten years.
The Curse of Monkey Island does an unusually good job of giving you enough information about your surroundings to let you choose the right inventory object for the job yourself, while rarely resorting to Guybrush giving you directions himself.

 RPGFan Reviews - Escape From Monkey Island
Escape from Monkey Island is the fourth in the legendary Monkey Island series, and like its predecessors, is an adventure game filled with pirates, wenches, grog, various sword-related injuries, general mayhem, and, you guessed it, maybe a monkey or two.
It might be a minor issue, but it’s comforting to know that they paid attention to their little monkey cymbal noises.
Despite all the changes in graphical format, control scheme, and the number of monkeys to be found, this is definitely a proud member of the Monkey Island family.

 Escape From Monkey Island Review
Along with the optional keyboard control, this gives Escape From Monkey Island the best overall feel of any game in the series because you never have to point and click until your fingers are sore.
My only complaints with the graphics are that minor clipping does occur every once in a while, and a few of the characters don't look as detailed as they could be.
As is usually the case with Monkey Island games, this one features some of the most convincing voice acting you'll find in any game.

The 3D-rendered characters work very well against the backgrounds, exhibit a bit more subtlety of movement and expression than in traditional animation and even with a low-end 3D card the “jaggies” common to the edges of 3D-rendered characters are minimal.

 Orchard Of Oddities - Software Review of Escape from Monkey Island
The first two games (The Secret of Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2:Le Chuck's Revenge) were DOS based, and it wasn't until 1997 that Lucasarts made a complete Windows based version, The Curse of Monkey Island.
This one has 3D rendered characters and follows the story of Guybrush Threepwood and his wife Elaine Marley, the Governor of Melee island, returning home to find Elaine declared dead, her mansion due for demolition and a new Governor to be elected.
Some of the movement of the characters follows pre defined paths, which means you may have trouble getting to a particular place, but the humour and music add to the atmosphere.

 Escape from Monkey Island On GameVortex.com
While the backgrounds are prerendered, all of the characters (and some items) are made up of polygons and perfectly blend in with their environments.
The one thing that really stands out about the sound is that every character, no matter how minor (except for two mute pirates that wander around some towns) has a spoken voice and many lines.
Upon their return, they discover that the residents of Melee Island (TM) have declared Elaine dead and the silver-tongued Charles L. Charles is running for the 'vacated' mayor's office.

 Escape from Monkey Island Review
The big difference here compared with past Monkey Island games is that instead of using the mouse to point and click Guybrush around, the game is played with the keyboard.

 IMG Reader Reviews: Escape From Monkey Island
This is a game for the fans, anyone who ever played and loved a monkey island game will play this and drool in the nostalgic moment.
People may criticise the often lame humour, but if you are caught up on that, then you just aren't the monkey island type, and that is just plain bad luck on your part.
If it has a flaw it is that it is a bit too quick to solve, and the type of game gives it limited replay, at least for a couple of years.

To understand the significance of this move, which to quote Carpenter caused "[a] gasp [that] could be heard from Edwardsville to Kingdom City," you have to understand something about the personality, the history and the characters that make up my hometown, and that bouy up our St. Louis pride.

Of course, two of the four characters are trial lawyers.
