100Everything that made EFMI so great on the PC arrives on the PS2 perfectly intact. The game’s many puzzles are perfectly balanced.
-
91Great graphics that remain true to the series' roots, wonderful animation, the classic Monkey Island humor is present in full force.

You really can’t go wrong with this finale to a LucasArts legacy, so be sure not to miss the boat. [Aug 2001, p.111]

You hardcore adventurers already love it, and you newbies out there are in for a real treat, and you are to be envied.
-
87Not a traditional type of game we expect to see on a home console. This quality PC conversion only begs the question, "why haven't we?" May the seaweed be with you!
-
87It looks good, it's easy to control, it has classic puzzles, and more than anything, it's a heck of a laugh. All that, and monkeys to boot.
-
86What you'll get with EFMI is a rich adventure game that entertains with its quick wit and colorful characters.
-
85I do not recommend trying to drink anything while conversations are going on. The laughs come fast and furious, usually when you least expect them.
-
Graphically the game is excellent and there are lots of quirky touches, such as the darts players in the local inn who throw a dart directly at the camera ''smashing'' the screen.
-
The voice acting is superb and the dialogue is witty. Couple that with a ridiculous story and you're guaranteed to at one point or another actually laugh out loud. Like the time when.... er...guess I'll be giving stuff away....crap.
-
81It's one of the more unusual games available to date for the PS2, and its warm, tropical environments and great cast of characters will make you feel right at home right away.
-
Simply the greatest point-and-click adventure game to date, whilst it may seam a little strange at time hang on there you will be rewarded in the end.
-
80The game’s best aspect by far is the sound – and the hours of dialogue which make up the base of the game’s audio.
-
80Quite simply it's very funny, great fun to play, but infuriatingly difficult and obscure in places. It's well animated, really colourful, beautifully voiced, original and lengthy.
-
80Escape from Monkey Island is a wonderful romp filled with memorable characters, excellent voice acting, and clever puzzles.
-
A great example of how to make an entertaining comic adventure.
-
79This one delivers on the most part, but I would have liked to see a little less humor and a little more in challenges to be met.
-
There were so many hilarious phrases and humorous insults in this game that I can't even begin to remember them all.
-
A breath of fresh air in a market saturated with generic driving and shooting titles.
-
60If it were just a little less linear, a little bit longer and a little less unforgiving in some of its latter stumpers (lots of 'littles' for a game trying to compensate for its lack of... well, you know!)
-
60If you’re keen on tasteless, tongue-in-cheek jokes, smooth sailing lies ahead.
