Arr, matey! Ye say you can't figure out how to help Guybrush Threepwood rescue his golden girl, Elaine? This strategy guide will surely help you. The Curse of Monkey Island Official Strategy Guide covers everything the aspiring pirate needs to know: how to socialize with monkeys, how to deal with Guybrush-eating snakes, how to join exclusive beach clubs--even how to cash in on your own life insurance policy. Starting off with a brief version of the long and hilarious history of the Monkey Island games, the book provides a chapter-by-chapter walk-through of the game's many puzzling situations. The best part is that you can get hints to any puzzle without seeing the complete solution--and thereby spoiling the surprise. The solution for each puzzle is printed upside down underneath two or three clues on how to solve it. Toward the back of the book, you'll see some of the great early sketches that led to the game's elaborate art, read about the talented folks who made The Curse of Monkey Island, and learn a few songs to sing along with Guybrush.

This review is from: The Curse of Monkey Island: The Official Strategy Guide (Secrets of the Games Series) (Paperback)

A great help for one of the best games ever created. Though, it does not help if you decide to play the "Mega Monkey" version of the game.
