  Monkey Island - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Monkey Island, Bray, an island in the River Thames
"Monkey Island", the name that is traditionally assigned to relatively small islands in the inland water lakes of Wisconsin.
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.

 The Curse of Monkey Island - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
CMI is the first Monkey Island game to be voiced, and has a graphic style more cartoon-ish than the earlier games.
After the vague and surrealistic ending of Monkey Island 2, Guybrush Threepwood is unexplainably found on the sea, after an undefined adventure he had, and his escape from the Big Whoop where he was trapped for five years (mirroring the real-time interval between the two games).
This is said by the developers to be a reference to a fight in the first game, The Secret of Monkey Island in which he gets hit in the head with a vase.

I believe it is the second best of Monkey Island games, though I am sure most hard-core fans of the series would disagree.
I think it would have been the best one if we hadn’t had the silly ending of Monkey Island 2 to clear up and that we had more time to have a complete ending ‘cut scene’, rather than the severely truncated one that was published.

 Review: The Curse of Monkey Island
The Curse of Monkey Island is the third in the series, and the first one to appear in the Windows era.
The remainder of the story is a bunch of silly (but fun) nonsense about a curse being placed on Guybrush's beloved Elaine, and Guybrush's subsequent attempts to lift the curse.
One of the things I most admire about the Monkey Island series is that all three of them manage to pack a tremendous amount of humor and high spirits into the proceedings while at the same time not sacrificing heavy-duty gameplay.

 The Curse of Monkey Island for PC Review - PC The Curse of Monkey Island Review
The Curse of Monkey Island is an animated, graphic adventure based on the characters introduced in The Secret of Monkey Island (1990) and its sequel, Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge (1992).
Wandering around the island, you'll need to speak to everyone you meet, pick up everything you can carry, and solve a number of bizarre and hilarious puzzles.
Still, The Curse of Monkey Island should more than satisfy the cravings of the Monkey Island faithful and even appeal to gamers who don't typically go in for graphic adventures.

 The Curse of Monkey Island - from CDAccess.com
So if this is your first Monkey Island game (or if your memory has been a little spotty since that last alien abduction), you may be asking yourself, "Who is this Threepwood guy, and how did he end up writing his journal in the middle of the Caribbean?" Well, it all started on Mêlée Island.
In the next installment, Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge, Guybrush appeared on Scabb Island and became obsessed with hunting for the legendary treasure of Big Whoop.
Now, in The Curse of Monkey Island, somehow Guybrush has escaped and once again found his true love...whose fort is under attack by the forces of the zombie pirate.

Many fans, including I, are worried about how the design team of The Curse of Monkey Island is going to pick up the story after the weird ending in the last game and how the series may survive without Gilbert.
The spirit of Monkey Island is the same in this sequel as in the previous titles and the whole storyline is indeed very “monkey"ian.
While fans of the previous games in the Monkey Island series may get the biggest laughs out of the twisted plot connections across the trilogy while reminiscing elements that are oddly familiar, no previous knowledge of the Monkey Island series is needed to enjoy this game wholeheartedly.

As well as undergoing a complete transformation in the graphics The Curse of Monkey Island is also blessed, or cursed (depending on your point of view) with the new LucasArts interface a la Full Throttle.
