I remember hearing about revisiting both Mêlée and Monkey Island and encountering characters you haven't seen since Monkey Island 1, and being convinced that this would be the Monkey Island game to end all Monkey Island games. Whenever I replay the game I try to give it the benefit of the doubt, and in parts of the game I can trick myself into thinking I'm playing a lovely Monkey Island-game, but the further you get in the game the more it falls apart. Monkey 4 focused on one aspect of Monkey Island - being funny. I felt there was a story behind every building, that every island had some sort of awesome history.
Monkey 4 is probably the biggest MI in terms of content, but the world of the other 3 (quite possibly 4 now) just felt a lot bigger.
It's just that replaying any of the other games (or playing Monkey 5 for that matter) allow me to quite easily imagine it's still 1997 and I'm still 10 years old. It's a funny, long adventure game with quite a lot of amusing puzzles. I assume the smurf-like houses, the controls, the talking monkey, the robots and the sushi bar already had enough coverage, and I don't think I can add a lot to that.
