Beyond the shape of the pier and the Grog Machine, the ship depot doesn’t even actually resemble Stan’s Previously Owned Ships. While most of the recurring locations are in their proper place it seems Stan’s Ship Yard (now the Municipal Ship Depot) has somehow switched location from inside the bay of Mêlée to the (East-)Southern shore of the island.While Escape’s development crew stayed faithful to the general shape and locations of things, everyone can agree there’s a few things they messed up.įirstly, Mêlée Island where the original game began and is probably the most trodden island in the series: Firstly there’s two major island’s that made reappearances from SMI and there were some serious continuity issues here. Let’s start with the small stuff and work our way up to the big momma of all video-game plot-holes. However, there were loads of inconsistencies with the prior Monkey Island games, not the least of which the series progenitor The Secret of Monkey Island. I thought that on the level of comedy and puzzles it was on par with all of the previous games and aside its horrific continuity errors, if the game wasn’t in “icky-poo” 3D I don’t think fans would have such a huge problem with it.

Now as a note here, I’m actually a Monkey Island fan who likes Escape from Monkey Island, the fourth game of the series.
