There are some puzzles that are difficult to complete but there are difficulty settings so you can play the easy mode if you want to get used to the game first or if you are not up to facing difficult challenges in the game. The easy game is called Monkey 2 Lite while the more difficult version is the regular Monkey Island 2.
