I have been told that this game compares to the Monkey Island series which I loved. Since I liked Monkey Island so much do you think I would like Jack Keene? Is it like Monkey due to the graphis, humor, or both?
I loved the monkey Island games, they were incredible. I found Jack Keane paled in comparison with way too much dialogue and it just seem to drag on and on and on.
I had the complete opposite experience. I loved it and felt right at home with this game
Of course I love dialogs - and a long game, that's not over in a few hours. A game I can take my time with and look forward to many hours with our hero.

I played and very much enjoyed Jack Keane and I still play and very much enjoy the Monkey Island games
In my opinion Jack Keane is not in the same league as a Monkey Island - certainly not the first two of the series, anyway - but it IS a very nicely made and "fun" adventure game all the same
I enjoyed it quite a bit, but I did have a few issues getting it installed (and just relived the fun of doing so a few days ago).
The game is rendered in 3D and may have issues on less than moderate video hardware. If you intend to play it on a laptop or have an integrated video processor you may want to review your specs before you purchase it.
Players will always express different reactions to any given game and whatever their "own view" all opinions are naturally welcomed and respected - it's what makes the world go round
However, whilst I thoroughly enjoyed Jack Keane and appreciated the humour of it, I personally didn't detect Ron Gilbert's particularly special brand of humour
