Tales of Monkey Island: Complete Season

where do i start ... i guess right at the beginning ... well, that is what i actually did. i remember having played this game couple of years ago and after i finished it, i thought: well ... not bad, but not quite on par with the first games. so i started a little experiment and i played all 5 parts in chronological order. what surprised me, is that i liked this part the most. yeah, the controls are kinda tricky but other than that ... i am actually a very lazy player. i look up a walk-through the first minute i get stuck. but not with this game. i kinda enjoyed getting stuck. i was patient enough to quit the game when i didn't know what to do and trusted the game that it won't fail me with unfair puzzles. and it didn't. loved every second of it. my personal ranking now? 5, 3, 2, 1, 4

to see Monkey Island in so bad shape. While puzzles are ok-ish (not very original). controls graphics and writing is really underwhelming. It's like a very poor ripoff of the mighty 1 to 3 games. Especially the graphics and animations are soo crappy that I can hardly stand it. The trademark humor has transformed from very smart to explainatory. Don't ruin your old memories of REALLY good games with that... #!stuff.

This is Telltale's entry in the Monkey Island series, and I found it pretty enjoyable. The game is split into 5 chapters, and if you're a fan of Monkey Island, point and click adventures and Telltale's approach to storytelling, then you'll like it. There's a lot of humour in the game, and Telltale have captured the essence of Monkey Island pretty well. Would recommend.

Longing for more classical Monkey Island fun? This one is a worthy successor. And despite not being produced by LucasArts, everyone is there, including all the voice actors, the wit and the jokes. ... and Murray! MUHAHAHAHAHA!

I can not say that Telltale has done his best work, but it's a good sequel, with a new style, of course, but with a new, valid, ideas for the plot. Probably many will consider this better than the previous fourth chapter. The graphics is fine and does not betray the cartoon style of the past, in fact, strengthens the pirate side that was weakened. Regarding the flaws, the inventory can be improved, but the most mistake of this production lies in qualitative fall of the final chapter. The fifth if I remember correctly. Because of the episodic nature of Telltale Games, the difficulty and the interesting gag grow very slowly, the first two chapters are simple but acceptable as the beginning of the adventure, the third and fourth are a major improvement, but the fifth is simply ... . rushed. Some puzzles are visibly been abandoned and exploration is too limited for the 'setting. Some clumsy tribute to the first two chapters also appears as a cunning way to quickly close a few scenes. A more open ending for Guybrush, perhaps it would have been more interesting, preferable, but the post credit scene is good to desire the sixth adventure ..,. maybe done in 2d by Daedalic with a better budget .... sigh, see you next decade Guybrush. Ps: One language for a Monkey Island game.....
