    If you've ever had an interest in the genre then this pack is unmissable. [Issue#196, p.97]
  2. Tales of Monkey Island brings classic graphical adventure action to a new generation, along with a grand story, funny characters, and great acting to boot.
  3. Once clear of its port of origin, this clever, humorous tale unfurls its sails and becomes a thoroughly entertaining swashbuckling adventure.

    Tales of Monkey Island is an extremely funny romp that is well worth its meager price tag.
  5. Overall, this is a good deal for any owner of the PS3. The games are challenging, fun, and full of character.
  6. Fans will love the nostalgic parade of cameos. [Sept 2010, p.104]

    Loved it. Played it in one sitting and it held up to the idolised Monkey Islands of my youth. Overall the puzzles were about the right difficulty. I hope they release another series. Full Review »
  2. Although there's a few solutions that were totally nonsensical (which is part of the monkey island thing, but it came down to 15 minutes of the same sequence so I could try out another thing from my inventory, and it was the item that I thought "there's no way this will work"). Still, that doesn't really stop it from being a great game. It's got top-notch humor, great puzzles, and decent voice acting. Well, that might stem from hearing the same lines multiple times (usually my own fault), but overall a great game. If you like this style of game, you'll love this. Full Review »
