First Impressions of Tales of Monkey Island

rpggoddess

Hi
I've been playing Monkey games since the first was released in the early 90s.
I like the graphics of Tales. I believe it is an improvement upon all previous monkey games.
I have 2 questionable opinions though:
It is the easiest Monkey game.
It is the shortest Monkey game (assuming all chapters will be a similar length to the first)
Besides these 2 things I congratulate Telltale Games. They done a great job of revitalising this old classic, thanks!

I think you'll find that The Secret of Monkey Island is actually the shortest game in the series. It just feels really big, but you can finish it in the same time you would need for just one episode of Tales of Monkey Island.

What you've played so far is only two fifths of the game, so we don't know how long it is yet. It'll probably feel longer (and more epic) if you play through the DVD at the end of the series.

I wouldn't go that far, but it is definitely shorter than the others.
