Not the most famous names in game design, until someone points out to you that it was the same double-act that wrote and created Sam & Max: Hit The Road. Escape is written, designed and project-led by Sean Clark and Mike Stemmle. It's one of the funniest, most involved, and downright strange in all of LucasArts' collection, and you - yes YOU - are a fool for the way you've been pretending you don't like it for all these years. Because despite (and even with) the 3D this is an absolutely stunning adventure game. It is unjust - simply awful - that this game is so weirdly dismissed, even hated, by fans of Monkey Island. Perhaps they were spoofing some other rich Australian grump who tries to take over everything he encounters. Well, I guess we can't say that for sure. I know of no other game thats central motif is openly mocking Rupert Murdoch and his attempts to buy everything in the world. While I admit I had been horribly wrong about The Curse Of Monkey Island, everyone else is entirely wrong about the fourth game in the series, and it's time for this mad prejudice to come to an end.Īnd there's no better time to do this than now, because this 11-year-old game is in fact currently incredibly topical. I absolutely, categorically do not understand what everyone has against Escape From Monkey Island.
