Tales of Monkey Island - Premium Edition (PC DVD)

You get so many games for the money here that it's one of the best value products you could buy. They need to be played in order as you follow Guybrush and his battles against Le Chuck - probably Lair of the Leviathan is the best. I found it quite tricky to complete but Guybrush himself will give you a clue if you get stuck for too long, so listen to everything he says! One minor drawback is the movement which can be either keyboard or mouse. I eventually gave up on the mouse and used the arrow keys. You do get used to it but it is always slightly irritating. The characters are all great fun and there's the usual Monkey Island humour which makes the game a pleasure to play.

I bought this because I thought it was a continuation of the 2D Monkey Island games we know and love. Why did the have to make it 3D wiwth frustrating and useless movement control? What is wrong with the 2D genre? Besides which it is unplayable on my old deskside computer (which I prefer to use for games) because, despite having an Nvidea graphics card, the bus is an old PCI one (not PCIe) that just cannot keep up with 3D.

Don't waste your money on this one. Disappointing movement and inventory interface. Both very cumbersome. Puzzles based on trying everything as there is little logic here (I suppose typical of Monkey Island games anyway). Too much dialogue and dialogue-based puzzles (you have to say the right things in the right order for several of the puzzles - unimaginative and dull!)In the end I just became completely bored and frustrated by fumbling around the screen with impossible movement controls and couldn't care less about the outcome. I suggest the writers and programmers of this game take another look at Broken Sword 1 & 2, Secret Files 1&2 to remind them how this genre is supposed to be done.

Case was a little different but that is no problem, i got this as a birthday/farthersday gift for my dad, he was telling my partner about how he played it with his mate in his younger days and how much he loved it so we just had to get him it. He loved it, iv never seen jim so pleased to open a gift. Hes playing it now and lovwing it!! Came really quickly seeing as it was coming from germany. Would defo buy again. Fantstic

This for me was a disappointment after enjoying the original Monkey Islands. Maybe I'm being too critical but one of thr tales was so boring I could not finish it soon enough.

It was quite frustrating as there were no clue how to complete the tasks

Nothing beats the first originals (particularly part 1 and 2) of the series, but this is quite good fun anyway, worth a go!

also bought as a present. We bought this as a gift for birthday present they over moon with it thanks.
