Needless to say, I’ve revised my opinion. I retrieved the game from the reject bin, dusted it off and played all thirty hours of it from start to finish. So when it came to reviewing it I decided to clear away my biased views and start afresh. But in honesty, once I had learned that Gilbert didn’t design it, I merely pinned my dislike to that fact (somewhat hypocritically considering I loved the third game). I had written the game off for failing to hold my attention, and I remember being irritated by the new 3D controls. When I first got the game (a whopping eight years ago) I played through the intro and swiftly abandoned it. I have to admit to following the die-hard Ron Gilbert fans in that I was slightly apprehensive about Escape. We’ve seen devoted fans storming off in a sulk, we’ve heard repeatedly that LucasArts are big mean scumbags cashing in on the Monkey Island name, and how the Ron Gilbert titles will never be touched. We’ve already mentioned the lengthy overblown rows about the sequels to the first two games.
