In terms of graphics and music, the game's not really that outstanding, but it gets the job done. Guybrush will have to outsmart him to make it off the island as well, but you can bet that it won’t be the last we’ll see of him. Of course, she performs the same role this time, too.įlotsam Island might not have LeChuck, but it has an antagonist of its own in the form of Marquis de Singe, who dresses just like Louis XIV of France and even speaks with a French accent. You'll also meet the Voodoo Lady, who has appeared in all previous Monkey Island games to inform Guybrush about what exactly is wrong.
You’ll meet Joaquin D’Oro, a Spanish explorer in search of the last action figure he needs to complete his collection. You’ll meet a total of 7 people you can interact with on Flotsam Island, and although four of them aren’t too memorable, three of them deserve a mention. Naturally, the game wouldn’t be complete without a good number of witty characters.

This also means you cannot do all these things with the items you’ve picked up – after bringing up your inventory (It is not visible while walking around) all you can do is look at the items or use them with other items or objects.ĭon’t let that fool you into thinking the game is any easier than the previous instalments in the series though – it’s definitely not as long, but you’ll likely be stumped a good number of times in the 3 or 4 hours it’ll take you to finish, unless you’re some kind of mastermind. This is a whole lot less fiddly than the 'SCUMM' interface used in the first two Monkey Island games, where you had 9 different options (Such as “look at,” “close,” “open” and “pick up”) and you just had to try various things on various objects. The game controls a bit like a simplified version of previous games in the series – clicking on an object will automatically make Guybrush do the correct thing to it, whether it’s simply looking at it, talking to it or picking it up. Naturally, Guybrush sets out to solve this mystery right away. He quickly learns that LeChuck is not there, but the island has problems of its own – for some reason, the winds around it never blow away from it, meaning that once you get there, you can’t leave! Even Guybrush is affected - one of his hands is actually infected with the disease, making it completely uncontrollable.Īfter also accidentally setting off a stack of gunpower barrels and blowing up LeChuck’s ship, Guybrush passes out and eventually wakes up on the beach of Flotsam Island, one of many islands dotted throughout the Monkey Island universe. This also releases a bunch of the concentrated evil and voodoo power which was inside LeChuck in the form of a giant green gas cloud, which sweeps over the nearby islands, slowly turning people green and making them have random outbursts of anger. Guybrush has already thwarted LeChuck’s plans four times before, but this time around things seem more serious than ever – at the beginning of this first episode of Tales of Monkey Island, Guybrush accidentally turns LeChuck into a human being, making him more powerful than before and making him slightly more attractive to Elaine.
