Product Features
- Episode 1: Launch of the Screaming Narwhal - The saga begins with a heated battle involving the brave but often bumbling Mighty Pirate™ Guybrush, his beloved wife Elaine, and their nemesis, the demon pirate LeChuck. When the showdown goes up in flames, Guybrush finds himself marooned on a strange island with winds that always blow inward. How will our hero manage to escape this meteorological anomaly? What has become of LeChuck and Elaine? And what’s the story with the infectious voodoo pox that’s spreading across the Caribbean, causing Guybrush and other pirates to act like unruly hooligans?
- Episode 2: The Siege of Spinner Cay - Guybrush's adventures continue on the high seas as pox-plagued pirates lay siege to the innocent Mer-People. In between defending the Mer-People and dodging the persistent pirate hunter hot on his trail, Guybrush manages to catch up to his beloved wife and despised arch-nemesis -- but their reunion is short-lived. Now Guybrush must focus on eradicating the Pox of LeChuck before more harm can be done.
- Episode 3: Lair of the Leviathan - In the third Tales of Monkey Island chapter, Guybrush gets in deep (literally!) as his quest for the voodoo exfoliating La Esponja Grande takes a scenic twist -- through the guts of a giant manatee! Trapped in the belly of the beast, our hero encounters a surprising band of castaways, including the long-lost (and obsessive-compulsive) explorer Coronado De Cava. Can the Mighty Pirate win the suspicious De Cava's trust? Will sexy pirate hunter Morgan LeFlay prove to be a ruthless enemy, or an unlikely ally? Will the group find La Esponja Grande in time to save Elaine from the rampant Pox of LeChuck? And will the world be crushed by the gnashing teeth of a certain demonic skull?
- Episode 4: The Trial & Execution of Guybrush Threepwood - Guybrush returns to Flotsam Island, but forget about a hero's welcome. Handed over to De Singe by the backstabbing Morgan LeFlay, Guybrush is seized by an angry mob and put on trial! With a silk-tongued prosecutor in his face and a hangman's noose dangling over his neck, Guybrush must figure out how to defend himself against grave accusations. Meanwhile, the determined Marquis sets his sights on a new and far more attractive test subject. How on earth will the Mighty Pirate get out of this mess? Tales of Monkey Island tension continues to mount in "The Trial and Execution of Guybrush Threepwood." Brace yourself for a shocking revelation that will rock the world of Monkey Island to its core.
- Episode 5: Rise of the Pirate God - Our piratey heroes meet their ultimate match with the Rise of the Pirate God. Can the world of Monkey Island be saved? Find out as the Tales of Monkey Island saga comes to its thrilling conclusion.

Fun:
If you've never played a Monkey Island game, why not? Well actually its probably because your 14 years old and have been brought up on endless COD releases, but I'm here to tell you if you fancy something a bit different, something that will make you think and have you howling with laughter then look no further than the legendary Monkey Island Series. (This franchise is over 20 years old now thats how endearing this series is!)
Many of the original designers of the initial Secret of Monkey Island have collaborated on these new Tales of Monkey Island including the man who conceived it all, Ron Gilbert and I have to say it really shows, if you like me thought that Escape from Monkey Island was a bit disappointing then you will be very surprised about how good Tales is although the game is yet 3D again when many of the complaints about Escape from Monkey Island centred upon this issue I feel the pseudo point and click scheme works quite well (you move Guybrush with the arrow keys and click on objects with the mouse). TMI (Tales of Monkey Island) was originally released as episodic monthly downloadable installments in 2009 and upon hearing about its release I excitedly signed up in time for release of the first chapter 'Launch of The Screaming Narwhal' and enjoyed every minute of it, although the depth of the characters in this first episode was a little thin on the ground Telltale games had seemingly listened to their fans on their forums and improved the supporting characters for the following chapters and it is evident as the final chapter of the game comes together, the art direction, the settings, the clever puzzles and the overall atmosphere feels highly polished. It feels like I am 15 years old again, gripped by the hapless Guybrush (wonderfully reprised by Dominic Armato) in his quest to foil LeChuck's plans once and for all, those who enjoyed Curse of Monkey Island in particular will adore this game. Highly recommended

Fun:
I have been a fan of the monkey island series since I played the original game many years ago. I was thrilled to hear a 5th episode had been release and I certainly was not disappointed. This game has a great story line and anyone can play it whether you have played the earlier games or not. If you played the earlier games you will find a lot of familiar characters making an appearance. The graphics are good and the game play work well too. However, the episodes themselves do not really form games in themselves because they are not that long. Although together they make up quite a long monkey island game. If you buy this game make sure you play each episode in order or you will not have half as much fun.
I really hope someone makes another Monkey Island game because I have not had my fix yet. Buy this game you will not be disappointed.

Fun:
I wanted something different from the serious fps shooters i was playing (dead space for example) and this was a welcome break.Just a fun relaxing game.
The puzzles may not be the hardest and some do boil down to trial and error, but this is so much fun i didn't care. Whilst playing i wasn't thinking 'this could be harder' i was just enjoying the witty script and story.
As for some reviews saying the controls are awkward i could not disagree more, you simply click and drag to move the character around the screen and all interactions can be done with the mouse.Inventory is simple with an area to drag and drop items into if you want to combine them.I am not sure what could have made it simpler/easier
overall: a fun, easy to control game i would recommend to any fan of point and click adventures
