    Yes, for the reason unknown to me Grim Fandango was acclaimed while Monkey Island 4 was booed. Both share one rather inconvenient engine.

      Both games are good, in my opinion, though. It’s just that Curse of Monkey Island was better. Many people hated the controls, but you get used to them.

        To be fair, Grim Fandango atleast had been updated at some point to accomodate classic point-n-clickery. On release it had playstation-style tank controls. Fun game, good story.

          As for Money Island, I think the console release of Escape had better controls and may be the preferable versions to play.
