![]() ![]() The game opens up with our hero in search of a fizzy root beer that will complete a magical voodoo sword spell. In Tales of Monkey Island you play the pirate Guybrush Threepwood, the lead character in every Monkey Island title to date. Telltale's biggest challenge will be making each episode stand on its own while still pushing the overall narrative. The later chapters will have assumed you've played the earlier ones, focusing on the more exciting parts of the story and leaving out background information. This could become problematic, with future episodes being heftier in content as the story draws to its climax. In Tales of Monkey Island, you'll need to play every episode to get the whole story. Previous Telltale works, such as Sam & Max Save the World, were comprised of stand-alone episodes. In an approach completely different from their previous episodic work, Telltale has decided to create one giant narrative spanning across all five episodes. Telltale has already established itself as the premiere company for episodic adventure gaming, with series such as Sam & Max Save the World (itself the successor to the LucasArts favorite Sam & Max Hit the Road) and Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People. Teaming up with Telltale Games, LucasArts is releasing a new five-part episodic series entitled Tales of Monkey Island. LucasArts is currently revisiting the franchises that originally made the company so popular, and has decided to bring its classic Monkey Island series to a whole new audience. 2000's Escape from Monkey Island became what seemed to be the company's final effort in continuing the Monkey Island legacy…until now. LucasArts reigned supreme, but the genre eventually declined. Throughout the 90's, LucasArts released a surge of other amazing adventure titles, and and the era became known as the golden age of adventure games. ![]() The original game won fans over with its wit, charm, and humor. It's been almost twenty years since the world first experienced The Secret of Monkey Island. ![]()
