Review Tales of Monkey Island Episode 1 for me

Just got review code for this, anyone wanna review it for me?

Embargo is July 7th, so if you could get it done by then, that would be excellent. Preferable the review would be done by someone who has played the other games in the series.

No, but it's only out on Wii and PC, and I have neither.

Really? I was sure it was going to be terrible - I didn't find the Sam & Max new episodes that funny at all.

Embargo Dimrill, Embargo.

Dimrill · **Posted:** Fri Jul 03, 2009 17:28

There's a Dimrill Embargo on? Fuck. I thought there was only a Largo Embargo on.

Runcle · **Posted:** Fri Jul 03, 2009 17:29

I think they drink it in the congo.

LewieP · **Joined:** 29th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 7600

Yeah, try not to say anything about it until the embargo lifts. What you said so far is fine, but nothing that gives away any more than that please

Runcle · **Posted:** Fri Jul 03, 2009 17:33

On a similar note has one played the zombie cow point and clicks?

I played their free one 'Ben There, Done That' and enjoyed it muchly and recommend it to everyone.

They've got a new one out for 3 quid, and its got a 9/10 on eurogamer so I think Ill be buying that later if I dont go out and get shitfaced.

Wait a minute, this could be Up To Jump's first exclusive! Write a good review, and stick it on UTJ before the embargo, then write any old shit for Lewie later! A victimless crime!

Dimrill · **Posted:** Fri Jul 03, 2009 17:45

Right, I've got his bra and wig.. what nexT?!?

You've just reminded me of some guy at school with a bootleg Simpsons t-shirt saying "Burk Samson" & underneath the picture "No Lumbago" :DD

good review. I'm definitely going to get it, but I'm not sure whether to wait to buy the whole series in one go.

Do we know when the wii version is out?

myp · **Posted:** Thu Jul 09, 2009 9:34

Here's hoping for an XBLA port when the whole lot is done. Does anyone know why Sam and Max took so long?

Doctor Glyndwr · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 32624

Nice review, Dimmers!

myp · **Posted:** Thu Jul 09, 2009 9:50

Good review, but would've been better with an appearance from Guybrush the Salmon.

Hah! Perhaps in the extended Director's Cut UpToJump remix?

I doubt it. LewieP makes us sign our lives away an exclusivity deal when sending the games out.

Has anyone here read my Legends of WrestleMania review on SG?!

First Impressions:

The graphics are ok. The characters aren't that good but the scenery is awesome. Flotsam Island reminds me a lot of the first island on wind waker (and that was the remark my girlfriend did when she was passing by and saw me playing), which can be only a good thing.

The writing is average. For me the problem is that the game tries to hard to be funny all the time. Sometimes it succeeds, but most of the time doesn't.

Puzzles have been quite easy, but i don't like obscure puzzles in adventures so that's ok.

All in all, it's been enjoyable but not a classic.

Thanks yous. I haven't been myself over the last few days, so the review isn't really "me" enough. Maybe the rest of the series will improve once I run out of ways of comparing it to previous MIs and S&M. Plus LewP gave me the green light for pictoral reviews if I wanna.

I just thought you'd purposefully toned your humour down for a different audience, that's all. It's still good writing, though.

Be Excellent To Each Other
