My Review about the game
I have to say that I am DISAPOINTED with this new saga of Monkey Island, the game that to me, is to be catalogued as the best in history. First of all I dont like the the fact that it is divided in five episodes. At least the Sam and Max version is with different stories every episode. It is cruel having to wait for the following month. I think all of the fans that are playing this game want to finish all the chapters just because they want to know the end and because it is MI.
But the game has lost the pirate spirit that Monkey Island had up to MI 3, or maybe 4 if you want. The graphics dont help with a different Guybrush, and the story is no good. I miss that pirate times with Monkey Island, I certainly DO NOT like this version. Actually the only MI thing in this game is the name of Guybrush Threepwood and the music.
And it is difficult to move the character with that new systrem. I just want to point and click or as if MI3 or with the instructions.

And you don't like it because is episodic? just wait 5 month and play it when it's finished...
Tottaly agree. Megaledeth stop comparing the two and just appreciate the effort that telltales made to make this classic game return.
Firstly we don't really know if the story is good or not, since we play the fist episode. But from what i saw from the first episode the story seems interesting, i am rather curious to see the following episodes.
So spoiler aside tell us why you think the story "lost" the spirit of MI.
You should look for a real medical treatment. I know someone named De Singe do you want to call him for you?
I am not going nowhere until i finished TOMI. I will take it to the other word with me if i have to...

I agree with this; Just treat it as a spin-off. It is, after all, 'tales of' as opposed to 'Monkey island 5'. These are really supposed to be side-stories set in the same world with the same characters. Like all spinoffs they employ a bit of artistic license, which I think works well enough.
There were plenty of aspects I didn't like about ToMI, but I am relatively happy to let them slide because Lucas Arts are responsible for maintaining the series proper and staying true to the originals. Telltale are just here to make entertaining games -- almost like fan games in a sense.
Ok you have any right to dislike the game... seriously I am not going to argue with you anymore. Ok you hate the story. Hate whatever is you that is going to loose by not playing it. If you want the original i suggest you buy the Special edition from lucast art.
And I'm sure 90% of the votes will be what they have expected or above.
Can't please everybody, I suppose.
Well your opinion is WRONG:p
oh yeah!!
Nevertheless i did enjoy it and am looking forward to episode 2! :O)
Didn't Grossman in an interview say that in his opinion part three is the best?!
No it was the third, but umm... yeah you don't know much about Monkey Island, so why complaining about the story?
The basic story of Monkey island always was find a ship find crew and save Elaine from Le chuck with minor difference. I cant understand why it's lost its spirit in TOMI.
Mmmm no! the thrid is called "the curse of monkey island" where Guybrush has to release Elaine from the curse LeChuck put in the ring. In this game I supposed that the Secret was the fun park of Big whoop, but then it put: reveal the "real of monkey island" put me into doubts, so you are the one who doesnt know much about monkey island.
Ok please stop arguing with people about monkey island since you dont have a clue. The secret was suppose to be revealed in the third game but because Ron Gilbert left it wasn't.
umm wrong. You don't know that the Godfather of Monkey Island had NOTHING, really NOTHING to do with CMI and EMI. Check www.grumpygamer.com, check Google or Bing for interviews with Ron Gilbert, search for "monkey island 3 situation". There you go.
Ohh and lemme guess one thing: you never really played SoMI or MI:LR, because then you should have noticed some faults in the "sequels". It's good that Telltale didn't take too much content from any of the past games so far. They should only use the knowledge that's represented in SoMI and MI:LR
These kind of people won't stop no matter how reasonable your counter arguments might be, they feed on our arguing and their only goal is to sow confrontation. Just don't feed the troll.
i do have a clue. You are the one who doesnt have a clue
Yeah? you fight like a cow
Most of you are so childish that cant respect and opinion so you start to insult. Insults are for MI not for the real life!. You should learn some education.
You can put all the reasonable arguments you want, but this is not about arguments, it s about something very subjective called tastes, like and dislikes. Suppose you dont like chocolate, I can give you a lot of arguments about why you have to like chocolate, but those arguments wont make you like it anyway. SO be adult.
Okay that made me chuckle
Ahh so you played it before it was released. That's cool. So how was it to play the game without music, graphics and text?
Sorry that I'm a fan of the series and know a lot about it. I don't like to read a guy's opinion, which is far away from reality and not reasoned well enough. I wouldn't say by myself that this game is uber awesome, but it's really good. The jokes are nice (although I don't get all the jokes since I'm German) and the price for that game is more than justified. I couldn't say that the story sucks, because there isn't much of a story at the beginning. So I wait for my opinion about the story when I finished the last episode. Who knows how much content the other episodes will include and which original ideas are going to be part of the game (like the scary "In the meanwhile..."-scenes with LeChuck, breathtaking insult fights with swords and sabers or Jojo the monkey)
