Guybrush Threepwood, Mighty Pirate ™, again at the helm. What, never heard of it? Walk on the board will refresh your memory. Raise the sails, the course - back to Monkey Island!
Since 1990, every self-respecting fan advenchur follows the adventures of Captain Tripvuda. History inexorably approaching the finale, but - did not happen. In the genre of a crisis, and LucasArts quickly turned the production of everything that can be literally buried alive favorite players quest series.
Fortunately, five years later took up the baton of Telltale Games, consisting of former members of the same LucasArts. Their idea is to break the game into small episodes was more than viable - and two seasons of Sam & Max to the most important evidence. Of course, it was a sin to dwell on the adventures of the anthropomorphic duo police. Right before the recent E3 pozvuchalo just two announcement, promising revival cycle pirate: LucasArts has announced the imminent remake of the original Secret of Monkey Island, and Telltale Games, in turn, showed the continuation of the story - Tales of Monkey Island.
Thus passed several years with the events of Escape from Monkey Island. Guybrush and Elaine pretty happy in marriage, but the rest named, as usual, only a dream. Zombie pirate LeChaka reinvented the word "obsession" - you would not believe, but again he stole Elaine and going with another sinister Voodoo ritual to win her hand, and along with the world of mortals. Guybrush tries to stop him, but passes all ... a little unfortunate. Not only that, the ship explodes LeChaka and unlucky rescuer throws knows where, is it a villain, and yet managed to award him a supernatural voodoo rash. From her hand Guybrush starts to live his life, and she is still recalcitrant than the upper limb Liquid Ocelot from the series Metal Gear Solid.
Wakes up the disease is already at Flotsam Island - Flinders Island on our way. Pessimistic name of this place has an ulterior motive - the wind blowing around the clock in those parts only from the sea, so get out is not possible. However, Guybrush and it's on the back - under the direction of a player he will reveal secrets of the island and prevent the evil plot, encountering along the way an old friend and finding many new friends.

So just one assist, of course, will not. Here, you really do not Sam & Max, with its atmosphere of superiority of representatives of law over ordinary people. Mighty Pirate ™ strives to offend anyone, so be prepared for the traditional sarcastic jokes. Have not gone away, and numerous references to previous games from LucasArts (and now, Telltale Games) - Newbies will just do not know, why Guybrush every second skull called Murray and what he has against the porcelain. However, these jokes are so organically woven into the narrative that the player probably laugh at is not fully understood phrase than puzzled shrug.
As customary in good quests, the player constantly have to juggle things from the immense inventory, solving using them simple puzzles. Because of the short duration of the games are useful both on the strength of three or four things, so that the passage turns almost linear - so obvious an experienced player solutions. If you have any difficulties should include the system prompts - they begin to appear when Guybrush is too long and the aimlessly wander around the island.

By the way, as in the old Monkey Island, the new is the ability to combine content of inventory. Management as a whole develops ideas Escape from Monkey Island, but it's more friendly. Obvious sharpened under the console - worth at least a new scheme for traffic control character. To get Guybrush to go, you hold down the left mouse button and move her mouse in the right direction - looks like an imitation geympadovskogo stick. Fortunately, the move (as well as work with the inventory) and you can use the keyboard.
Desire to please pristavochnikam evident even in the options screen resolution - if your monitor does not meet the ratio 16:9, the stylish black strips are provided. Requirements for car increased from previous games from Telltale - particularly felt in the beginning, when the rain poured down, all swinging, LeChaka makes his spell, and this in itself is not new configuration, there are noticeable brake. At the same time (probably to reduce the amount of downloadable games), the developers allowed themselves to save money on models of secondary characters: Take one to change, add whiskers - that and the second is ready. But the animation Telltale notably worked hard, particularly over the timing of voice and lips.
Telltale Games before our eyes, reviving an entire genre of classical advenchur, with all its rich cultural heritage. By the way, they already stutter that is not averse to put his hands on the series Maniac Mansion - if only to sales of Tales of Monkey Island was high. After a few hours before and after the release of the first part of the crowd mad with delight people on the forums Telltale, I was convinced - the fate of Guybrush and his comrades in good hands.
