Tales of Monkey Island - Changing adventure games for the better, one day at a time!
Telltale Games and Lucasarts have released their 5 part episodic story of everyone's favourite Pirate Guybrush Theepwood as he once again battles the evil voodoo pirate LeChuck. Armed with the Cutlass of Kaflu and the ingredients needed to take LeChuck down, he sets sail to rescue his kidnapped wife Elaine.
When arriving things don't go to plan with the voodoo root beer ingredient so in true Monkey Island style you have to improvise what you have around you. But being Monkey Island and all that, things just aren't that easy! The spell doesn't work and it creates a massive explosion sending Guybrush to the un-escapable Flotsam Island with a hand infected with LeChuck pox! Nice! It's up to you to cure the pox, change wind, defeat a Pirate Hunter, defeat a Mad Scientist, escape a Manatee (yes a Manatee), avoid jail time, save Merpeople and a whole lot more! Sound fun?
The games graphics were stunning on my iPhone 4s and the interface was easy to use. The puzzles are challenging at times but easily accomplished with some lateral thinking. The additional characters have personality which is rare in a lot of modern day games! There are also some blasts from the past of the previous games so if you're a fan of the franchise you'll be pleased. The story line literally had me gripped to the game to the point I didn't want to put it down. There were highs, lows, laughs, tears and a hole load of shocks! This game is a must have for all gamers and you will not be disappointed with your purchase as it's worth EVERY penny.
