This game was a classic example of the Action/ Adventure games I played growing up, though with a witty twist. The language was meant for a younger audience. but not to much that you felt, more smart than the game or more stupid because you wasted your time on pre-school style gameplay. if you never played the series the begining gives you a recap of what happened. though this game does have it's inside jokes but you do not need to be a fanatic about the Monkey Island series to get. Some of the puzzles took me a while to get but if you are either curios about Adventure games or you love them check this one out.

Ok, the idea of the game is fun. The characters are fun. The humor is funny and irreverent. So why down I like this game???

Ok, the game requires you to figure out what the game designers want you to do in each situation. Now remember, it is not your choices that count. You have to figure out what choices that the game makes to pick, you have to do them in a certain order and at a certain time.

If you like being led around by the nose like a cow during a video game, then ok. If you want to do any free thinking, then this game is really not for you.

Thanks for reading and good luck.

I found thid game a little slow and very silly, but hey maybe your into that. Since this was the first out of the series I have played, this may be a harsh assesment.
