I am a big fan of point and click games and this game was something else. It was release in 2000 in the same time I was playing Banjo Kazooie and I putted BK on side to finish this game. Fantastic.

Definetely doesn't deserve all the hate it had, at least back in the day. The graphics, at least for characters are not very appealing and the monkey combat was simply stupid, but everything else is just what you can expect from a Monkey island, definetely a good game in the saga, just probably not as good as the 3 previous ones.

Everything has already been said I think. Less than optimal controls, some annoying puzzles, and the "Herman bug" which necessitated downloading someone elses savegame.
Die hard Monkey Island fans should play it, but if you have no special feelings for MI, better stay away.

One of the weaker entries in the series. It had it's charm and it's gags, but they didn't feel that fresh and the engine brought it down a notch

In regards to the 2018 re-release, the biggest flaw about EFMI is its horrific controls. I get it that it was a game that (for some reason) had a PS2 release, but the PC version should have been able to utilize the mouse as lining up Guybrush using use the arrow keys to get anywhere is just impossible. Not to mention the poor keybinds that spreads everything across the keyboard. Just what was LucasArts thinking?

Summary Join pencil-neck pirate Guybrush Threepwood as one of the best graphical PC adventure games comes to the PS2 totally intact and offbeat as ever.
