Tales of Monkey Island: Complete Season

its a adventure game

Let's start by saying I LOVE the MI series, including MI4. I finally got around to playing Tales and I so badly wanted it to be as good as the other games, but it is nowhere near. Let's start with the animation choices - it's so childlike and cringey, not to mention that many different characters look exactly the same. Voice acting - Dom is great as usual. LeChuck seems to have a new voice that didn't do it for me, and it was painfully obvious that the Voodoo Lady was voiced by a white woman. In terms of game play, there were some good enjoyable puzzles. I think what has bothered me the most is that it's just lacking that fun and humour that you get in the other MI games. On top of that, there is a whole bunch of new magical elements and magical creatures that just don't seem to match with the voodoo magic we see in the other MI games. Sadly, I doubt I will be replaying it, but I'm still pleased I gave it a shot.

Hi Monkey Island Fans. It's Alexandra Boyd here aka Governor Elaine Marley. I spend many enjoyable hours recording the MI games and I'm so happy you are enjoying playing the, too.

I have played through all these new adventures, and if you are a die-hard Monkey Island fan, then they really are something you don't want to miss. However, if you have a bit of patience about you, I would recommend waiting for the price to come down a little, you might get to the end and wonder where all your value for money went.

And a great starter for what Telltale would eventually become (which, in 2014 is 'good' - incase they go down the drain after this review is made). I have fond memories of this series, and I'd say this captures the feeling of the originals perfectly with fluid, 3D Graphics. It is a bit...here and there difficulty wise. The main reason this gets only 2 Stars? The price. This is NOT a $34 game, not anymore. You can get the Tomb Raider Reboot cheaper than this, and that came out only two years back as opposed to six. Only worth your time on a price reduction, if only to bap Telltale on the head with this price strategy and say 'No'.
