Advantages: Change have been made but stuck to the formula that works

Disadvantages: You have to wait a month for the next chapter

Everyones favorite mighty pirate Guybrush Threepwood is back in the Tales of Mokney Island. The Launch of the Screaming Narwhal is the first of the 5 chapters each of which will be released in a months time. The monkey island game started of in 2d years ago and has seen progress into the cartoon stage as well as the 3D phase. This game though shown to have better graphics has kept the cartoony structure we all love and adore and fits in nicely with the funny theme of the game

The game focuses on the good for nothing yet loved by all pirate as he tries to rescue his wife from the ghost/demon/zombie pirate lechuck. However things go wrong and guybrush causes the voodoo magic to become a plague all throughout infecting pirates everywhere. This and the fact that he is on an island where the wind always blows inwards causes a dilemma. The first chapter mainly deals with commandeering a ship and escaping the island.

The gameplay is different from most games where you have to speak to various characters, collect items and combine them in the hopes of getting things done. The witty comedy is the main focus of the game where you will spend a good time just chuckling at guybrushs comments or the situation he gets himself into

The music is quite nice and never bores as well as excellent voice acting. The levels are designed well and a subtle hint section is in place which will edge the player towards completing the goal. The game doesnt take long with roughly 4-6 hours of gameplay after which you have to wait for the next chapter.

Its been a long wait for monkey island fans everywhere and is nice to relive the glory and troubled days of guybrush threepwood mighty pirate

Summary: Good game especially if your a fan of the series
