I thought that 3000 point cost £21?
It is, Amazon must be ripping people off, because 1000 points is just £7, so 2000 should be no more than £14, not £18. _________________ Most Wanted:

Even though I fail to see how £35 for a game is scandalous, just download the PC version if you really feel that way. It's $35, so just over twenty quid.
Well maybe nintendo has up their prices for points over the last few weeks, i use a credit card to buy VC and wiiware titles, and the last one i bought (which wasn't that long ago) was 1000 points and it took exactly £7 off my credit card. So paying anything more is a rip-off. _________________ Most Wanted:

Last time I looked you could only use Visa or Mastercard to purchase points on there, and as I choose to stick with debit cards, that rules that option out.
Why Nintendo don't allow the use of debit cards is beyond me, especially when I discovered you can use them on PSN. _________________ Born to be a Wanderer...

I use my Visa debit card all the time to purchase points from the wii shop. I am pretty sure the maestro (mastercards debit card) also works fine.
I don't think its pricey at all, quite a good buy in fact. If it were to come out in retail on one dvd, you would pay £35 for it. If you didn't like it, your left with either it collecting dust, some poor trade in price, or an ebay disaster waiting to happen. At least with buying this in chapters, if you don't like it, then you don't need to buy the rest.
I know this argument can come down to-'well thats what demos are for' and i agree, but demos also dont give enough longetivity to make an informed decision.
In anycase, if you like point and click affairs, then you could do a whole lot worse than anything with the monkey island stamp. It is thanks to this one series alone, that brought comedy, superb visuals and brilliant music in to the point and click genre and ultimately the series that catapulted point and clicks in to there own sub category of adventure games.
Without monkey island, I wonder if many other titles would have been born, simon the sorcerer for example borrowed many elements. Titles like broken sword, whilst dropping the comedy in favour of well narrated and serious storyline, might also have never seen light of day, without the popularity Monkey Island.
I do own the original Amiga Monkey Island 1 & 2 games, I will be picking up the enhanced version for either the 360 or ps3 (have decided which yet, though not on PSN at the moment), but certainly will be buying this on the wii, being a whole new series.
Superb stuff all round. _________________ Theres 10 types of people that understand binary, those that do, and those that don't.
