Title: Monkey Island 5 - 'Tales of Monkey Island - Launch of the Screaming Narwhal' Post by: VegasKill on Sat 18.07.2009 12:59:07 As a big fan of the lucas art's monkey island (esp 1&2 on commodore, with 7 floppies ;D) I was looking forward to part 5 of the series, 'Tales of Monkey Island - Launch of the Screaming Narwhal'!
The game is about to be released over the summer time in form of chapters, 5 in total to complete the game. Kinda gay system, thats because of the new developer: Telltale Games, producer of Sam&Max, a capter structure is usual for their games. =( I don't know what I have to expect from the new MI, its completely designed in 3D but with very lousy character models. I'd prefer nice 2D landscapes, scanned paintings like in part 1&2, its an adventure after all. The difficulty level had to be alleviated to make it playable for kiddies, thats the next point that makes me worry about the fun to play the new MI. Dialogues are more linear than in the predecessors. The story begins like back in the old days ^^, governor Elaine gets kidnaped by the archenemy LeChuck. You, the wannabe-pirate Guybrush Threepwood gets cursed and happen to end up in a desert island. Some pics, they don't really give the good ol' Monkey Island feeling =( (http://i25.tinypic.com/xllezl.jpg) (http://i32.tinypic.com/9kb5nm.jpg) (http://i29.tinypic.com/ddygc2.jpg) (http://i31.tinypic.com/2w4juie.jpg) Title: Re: Monkey Island 5 - 'Tales of Monkey Island - Launch of the Screaming Narwhal' Post by: Bloody.Bender on Sat 18.07.2009 13:26:33 I heard so many good stuff about this game.

Yep, its the special edition of the first 3 parts for the pc. ^^Title: Re: Monkey Island 5 - 'Tales of Monkey Island - Launch of the Screaming Narwhal' Post by: VegasKill on Sat 25.07.2009 11:57:19 After seeing this trailer of MI5 I'd better go for the remake of 1990 MI 1.

The swordfighting drove me nuts but it was fun nevertheless. The voice acting was genius in the third sequel, and I'll never forget Murray the evil helspawn skull, every line from him was a killer joke. laughanim2.gif
I dled the special edition remake, it looks like they really stayed faithfull to the original game. Harr, harr. 8) Tales of Monkey Island looks really lame. I really don't understand why they moved to 3D with Monkey Island 4 (btw that game was abysmal) it kills all the fairy-tale charm.

When you want to know the right way there are so many possible ways to threat or beg him... 'please, please, please, please, please, 100 times', and my favourite discussion about kicking him in to the lava river ;D |
