Yahtzee dear, your British, not American so there's no excuse for than epic failure of an Irish accent. Tut, tut!

Sorry Yahtzee but I gotta disagree with you. Not on the main game though. Tales deserves bashing but Monkey Island 3 is also a classic in my book. Sure, always awesome Tim Schafer didn't work on it but it was still a great game and a worthy sequel. A lot of ideas were reused and it was more of a big budget / "hollywood" style thingy but Monkey Island 3 was still great and final part of a classic trilogy.

I found this to be a very poor "review" by regular standards - not funny, a game I didn't care about and overall substituting humour for vague stereotypical references and a pathetic "accent". The series is beginning to get very stale now, to the point where I almost know what is coming, unless of course its not a completely random joke (say the dolphin from last week).

I think I'll continue watching when Yahtzee actually reviews a "mainstream" game and therefore has something interesting to say, rather than pulling a dodgy unfunny accent (that of course fanboy's will claim are "hilarious") and making the same point over and over (how many times has he referenced Monkey Island - these are just points made in previous videos).

Note: I turned off the video after 2 minutes because it bored me.

Have the trolls gone? Seriously whats up with that like 12 people on probation.

OT: I've never played a monkey island game and have been told they are really good but not sure if I want too, is it worth it?
No.

And I say this as a someone old enough to have played the original, and who played through Monkey Island ES on XBLA.

Monkey Island is fun, but it plays like a Flash game more than a game. If you like adventure games, and you are the kind of guy who install SCUMM on DOSBOX just to play them, or you tried and liked stuff like Nanobot or Spooks* pick it up.

Is there such a thing as to funny? If so Yatzhee proably just reached it. Litterally I think I cracked a rib while watching.

This certainly wasn't your best review, but you once again touch on the subject of developers raiding our childhood memories and classics for products instead of simply investing in something original, which I respect. It has already been mentioned before, but until they start getting the idea it won't hurt to simply say it again and again.

This was easily the most hardest to understand ZP ever. Yahtzee, it's either the accent OR talking fast. When you put the two together, I can hardly tell what you're saying. Let alone pick up on whether it's funny or not.

Yahtzee did an Irish accent for his review!!!!!
I've never felt prouder to wear green, hate the British, offend women and celebrate alcohol addiction

I'm Irish, and I thought that was pretty funny.

Weirdly I understood every word you said, even though your accent was terrible and everyone here claims it was indecipherable.

Maybe it was too Irish....
