Tales of Monkey Island is the revival of a series that has been dormant for almost 10 years. And a worthy successor it is. The pairing of LucasArts and Telltale is one from heaven and it seems LucasArts has finally learned to give fans what they want.
The game is set after the nonexistent Monkey Island 5. Chapter 1: Launch of the Screaming Narwhal takes off with Guybrush seemingly coming to the close of an adventure, about to defeat LeChuck and take back Elaine. But in typical Guybrush fashion, something goes wrong which sends him on a completely new adventure: to rescue Elaine and stop LeChuck. Wait, hasn’t he done this one before?
