The legendary series returns from Davy Jones’ locker and onto your screen with lush 3D environments, rip-roaring humour, and Guybrush Threepwood himself!
While explosively stripping the evil pirate LeChuck of his demonic mojo, Guybrush Threepwood inadvertently infects the entire Caribbean with the arch-fiend's expelled voodoo, which threatens to transform buccaneers into unruly pirate monsters. Pursued by a notorious cut-throat pirate hunter and a creepy French physician who believes that Guybrush's eerily-infected hand holds the secret of eternal life, Threepwood sails the seven seas in search of La Esponja Grande, a legendary sea sponge with unparalleled voodoo exfoliating abilities. But little does Guybrush know, his quest is part of a larger, more sinister plot, and good and evil are not always as they seem…
Who can Guybrush trust? Where can he turn? Everything you think you know will be challenged as Tales of Monkey Island builds to its unexpected finale. Witness how one of the most cherished adventure gameworlds comes back to life in this modern point-and-click classic!

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'.
This clunky installment of the otherwise brilliant Monkey Island series isn't worth this asking price. It's the first time Guybrush has gone 3D, and as you can see from the awful graphics, the game seriously looses its charm, especially as Monkey Island III was so beautiful. Game play was ok as I recall, but since I've played everyone about three times except this one I wouldn't say it was amazing. I must have been about 14 when this came out, I'd been waiting excitedly for ages for the next release, only to be very dissapointed.
On the plus side the next installment (V) was a greatly unexpected treat, certainly a return to former glory! Definitly buy that instead, I got it for about €12. Barely remembering the plot of ToMI didn't matter at all...
I would assume the majority of people who bought Tales of Monkey Island were already fans of the franchise, and like myself were really looking forward to seeing a new adatation of the beloved almost faultless series.
As it goes, this one heaped many faults into the series in one fell swoop.
The episodic formula was pointless; the humour felt forced; the graphics are ugly and have already aged in a matter of a couple years; and the world which we see Guybrush inhabit is sorely lacking in interactive features.
I do believe that Tales has scored well thanks to nostalgia and a faithful following of Telltale games as a developer.
Persoanlly, I was left very disappointed and worry we may never see another Monkey Island game worthy of following the previous incarnations.
First off, the humor, overall, is PG-rated cheesy. The voice actor for Guybrush has a lame, wimpy, everyman intonation, which actually fits his lines pretty well, but yawn. The peripheral characters swim in a sea of average as well, ranging from mildly amusing to mostly boring. The shining exception to this is Murray, whose lines and voice acting make me smile now just thinking about him. Unfortunately, he doesn't show up until about halfway through the story.
The game really earns its two stars with the puzzles. Many puzzles are unintuitive and rely on you to randomly mix items in your inventory in hope of a mixture. Worse, if you play without cheating via walk through, you will feel the desire to go back to every screen and carefully maneuver the mouse over everything in hopes of finding a missed item. Lastly, some puzzles require you to walk through a maze in exactly the right order, and if you mess up, you start from the beginning again. A special bonus: Guybrush walks nice and slow, and his gait is painful to watch.
The storyline is the last nail in the coffin. Guybrush has some pox that at first is infecting him, but then is infecting the entire Caribbean. The plot seems reliant on you knowing and being emotionally involved in vague previous events that are poorly explained.
If you're looking for an adventure series, I'd avoid this one unless trial and error gets you excited and think Nickelodeon is the pinnacle of humor.
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
