Even at this early stage (1 of 5), Tales of Monkey Island earns a full recommendation for adventure fans that are pining for the days when games had a strong mental challenge and the payoff was completely hysterical lunacy. It should be noted that in addition to the new Tales Of Monkey Island series, the original game, Secret Of Monkey Island, is being remastered for both PC and Xbox 360.

It is a worthy successor to one of the finest adventure series ever to sail the seven seas. Here is to hoping Telltale can keep the Jolly Roger flying as high as it does here throughout the full length of the Tales season. Score: 9 Total Score: 9 — Superb (9s are a hallmark of excellence.

The game is a joy to behold. The composer of the original games returns for this installment, and he drenches the soundtrack with steel drums and calliopes.
