Easily the worst game in the series. I'm not surprised that Tales From Monkey Island makes no reference to the events of the game. Monkey Kombat is terrible as well as the new villain. Some fiendish enough puzzles but the humor isn't there and even the great voice casting doesn't save it. For Monkey Island completionists only. For everyone else, you can skip straight from Curse of Monkey Island to Telltale's Tales of Monkey Island. Shame we never got Tales 2.
It is a shame we never got the intended final game of the Monkey Island trilogy as envisioned by Ron Gilbert, but what we did get was a great upgrade in visuals, a brilliant and fun story where the new writers 'got' why people liked the originals and didn't try to reinvent the format too much. We also got Dominic Armato as the voice of Guybrush. Originally a fan of the games he really nails it and just gets the character and the series. It was a great move to add his voice work to the remasters and he now is as synonymous to the series as Ron or Tim are.
Good game but almost impossible to play on keyboard and mouse. I recommend playing with a controller.
