  • bad graphics :(

  • 1:04 awww man he was gonna say " you fight like a cow" XD dammit i remember that line from curse of monkey island where guybrush fought captain rottingham

  • LOL now i know who is Guy Bresh wtf is he doing in Force Unleashed 2?

  • at first i was skeptical in regards to the new character design, but after playing it i must admit i enjoyed it quite a bit and was rather sad when it was over. Guybrush is my hero!!!

  • Neverhood and Monkey Island need to make more!!!!!!!

    FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

  • Thank you, thank you, thank you

  • stupid american voice

  • Personally, I love the 3D version. That does not mean I did not like the old version too.

  • fuck the 3D

  • Rated ARR for Arrrrrwesome pirates/players. :D

  • Oh I love this series, and I don't understand the hate for 3D, I've played the old games first and I still love this one. :D

  • lol?? its a game from 2009 i mean the graphics are far not so shit as mi4 they are much better but a bit more effects and features would be cool

  • oh yeah where did i leave those handy little youtube videos xD

  • i got this on ipad its hard to play but im stuck on the first part where your on his ship and you lose the fizzy root beer and then you have to replace it tell me how to do this!

  • @The12342182 pee onto your keyboard and it'll fill a bottle on the ship

  • @The12342182 Well, there's a plant on Elaine's ship with unruly roots....

  • still debating on getting this...I was too young for the first two, but bought them later and still had a 95 that I didn't care if it got ruined or not so played them. I no longer have that so can't really play it anymore, so I'm looking forward to getting the remakes. This one doesn't look as good as even the 4th one, which was the first one I played, and would probably bore me quickly.

  • 1 ... 2 ... 3

    - Well u fight like er..

    xD

  • @TheChocoDoll it sounds like you've never played curse of monkey island

  • its kind of like Wii's version of heavy rain

  • thats not gameplay dummasses

  • @sapachino did you even watch the video? and btw its dumb asses.

  • i think mi3 was better graphics..more pastel more fairytale..

  • why is elaine brittish?

  • Telltale need to make the real Monkey Island 4 !!Escape from monkey island its orrible !! i love telltale make this one !

  • i love curse of mi so much..

    now the characters lost all their charm. they're not even expressive. i'm not sure if tales of mi was a good idea...

  • The first Monkey Island should be made into an Animated movie.The story is still as funny,and I felt like I was playing through a Monty Python game.I was too young when the first game was released,so playing the enhanced remake was excellent.

  • Fav was MI 3. The expressions on the characters faces in this one are lacking. Like you cant really see any irritation on elaines face. More like frozen faces, a problem with 3d animation under-done.

  • I think this Guybrush looks way better than Monkey 4's one.

  • @ZangyChetari no freaking way, i loved Guybruch from escape from monkey island

  • @ZangyChetari i dunno just my personal preference, but Guybrush from tales of monkey island looks like some pothead...

  • ahh memories :))

  • @hgskjs56786 this is an adventure game!

  • @hgskjs56786 I don't think so... I mean you are playing the role of GuyBrush Threepwood,but the game is about advancing the story by solving puzzles/interacting with characters...

  • OMG LucasArts?

  • I honestly don't see why people are so sceptic about 3D. I personally always liked Monkey Island for the humor, and from what I've played so far, this game sticks to it's roots. Hell, these 3 minutes showcased here gave me plenty to laugh.

    1:03 - "Yeah... well, you fight like a.." - This, PURE AWESOMENESS!

  • Harr Harr Harr .... OOOEEEMMMMGEEEE! xD

  • 35 people who doesn't like this, fight like a cow!!!

  • omg i had 25 euros on paysafe and i bought a game with 19,99 euros (5 euros left) AND IT WAS A DISCOUNT ON MONKEY ISLAND COMPLETE PACK!:80-OFF! FROM 32 EUROS 4,76 AND I BOUGHT IT xD im so lucky

  • @GRxristos7 Steam?

  • @Danny6457 yup

  • Comment removed

  • This isn't gameplay...

  • Looks okay, but Le Chuck looks horrible.

  • I'd prefer to see any new games made with the graphics they used for the special editions of 1 and 2....but as long as I keep hearing the same voice actors, I'll keep on buying the games......hell, I'd buy stupid 3D glasses if I had to just to keep playing

  • Come on people stop hating this game is not as bad as it seems it's way better than monkey island 4 in graphics. And plus you get 5 tales of monkey island games for 20$

    It's probably the 2nd or 3rd favorite game.

  • Monkey island is all good with 3D too, The game play is much more enjoyable than having it 2d even if the old way would look cooler. Complaining about "cant play it as 3d" is just being too close minded... wanting to always stick up to old ones will just make you like old people

  • @TheChocoDoll yeah i agree whit you i love the 5 i want play that before i want play the first ! You a re all like old people and immature all say is 1,2,3 is the best your a not a true fan the true going love all the serie not the old version i say the best 3d version is the 5 the better like cartoon is the 3 and the 1 and 2 is a classic stop say the 4 or 5 suck because your not are true fan !!!

  • @TheChocoDoll

    Possibly. But it's too square. The edges detract from the whole thing

  • @TheChocoDoll What's wrong with being like old people? :P Besides, pointing out that not all innovation is for the best only paves the way for more innovation - how can we preserve the mechanics of 3D and the aesthetic of 2D?

  • @Ozarkeree *What's wrong being like old people.* Really? You're asking something like that? oookay... You get outdated, that's why. I'll rather accept changes, wait for new things and let the games improve and evolve rather than stubbornly stay stuck in the past.

  • @TheChocoDoll Why did you ignore the rest of the my comment?

  • @Ozarkeree Because unfortunately my English isn't good enough to understand the rest of it.

  • @TheChocoDoll Oh XD I said, if we point out the mistakes in new stuff, then the new stuff that comes after that will be even better. So, we could make a Monkey Island game that look like

  • @TheChocoDoll 2D and works like 3D. (Excuse me, the "send" button went off on me :P)

  • @Ozarkeree Oh, if you mean that then sure I totally agree. It's good to point out the bad points. I just don't understand the perspective of those people who dislike the new games just because they aren't exactly like the old even if the new one would be good. I absolutely loved the 2D game's appearance better than the 3D one but I still won't say this is shit because it's 3D X) I'll give a chance for the new stuff.

  • Monkey Island 4's 3D had more charm IMO.

  • well it's not as good as curse but it has definetly the best ending in monkey island

  • I have been studying c for 3 years (game programing - 1 year). My dream is to become a game developer and create games like MI3.

    I hope someone right now is also learning how to create games or how to draw etc and his work is inspired by Monkey Island, TDOT Tentacle or Full Throttle.

  • It's strange how so many monkey island fans don't like change to the games.

    It's been 20 years since the original game, graphics improve, and gameplay improves!

  • Im only 20 years old, but I bought the curse of monkey island "the third game" when it was very new. But I played the first and the second game when I became older since when I was a kid I didnt know that there were more games than just the third one ;p but anyway I love the humor in the games, but I do wish that LucasArts would've stayed to the cartoonish 2D style since the game looks more appealing like that to be honest

  • love this game, and am old enough to be a fan of the older games too.

    I can understand why people who never played the originals dont get it, but confused as to why people my age who did dont like tales, not sure what they were expecting really. Its a very well written series made by people who clearly understood what made the originals so great.

  • idk why, but i like the way it's drawn out O_o cause it looks bright and vivid.. screw what the rest thing

  • Why the hell are you people bashing this great game just because of it's graphics & dimension? Just because Escape wasn't THAT great & it was 3D doesn't mean every other MI 3D game is bad. I bet you people only BOUGHT MI for the 2D. You aren't Monkey Island fans, & this is coming from a guy who didn't even PLAY one of those games. All you should care about is how it plays, the comedy, the fun factor.

  • To all those claiming the graphics were "crap": Are we even watching the same game? Sure they aren't HD, ultra-realistic, with snazzy lighting effects, but then, does that really matter. I love the style. Sure, it's not as great as Curse, but it beats 1&2, and escape.

    And given the significantly smaller Adventure gaming market, and the high cost of producing games today, they couldn't have gone 2D. Those games are incredibly expensive, if they were to go on a Curse scale.

    The Games were Great

  • guess the visuals are so shit so it's able to run on the Wii. My sat nav is more powerful than that white pile of crap.

  • @scuffpuppy no one cares, people who only think about graphics miss out on the best games.

  • @scuffpuppy

    you wish it could run propertly on the wii without bugs and glitches but on the ps3 is freakin' awesome and seriously do you play games just for the graphics

  • wow those grapics.. bad

  • @fmlzz looooooool they re not bad.....

  • @butolina imo they are im a massive fan on the monkey island series and grim fandango these grapics look so.. wtf.. elaine looks like a dude and lechuck is overdone :/ guybush looks.. ug i just dont like the overdone 3d stuff i mean escape from monkey island was good so was grim fandango but 1 2 3 were just games that i loved and they obv have new voice actors.. thats not much of a problem but still.. ill probably still buy it but it doesnt look as good as 1234/grim fandango

  • @fmlzz yes thats true i got mores excited with the older games compared to this new.

    But the graphics i think they re fine for a 3D animated game, but yes the design of the characters its a little desformed a liitle weird, is that what you ment to say?

  • @butolina it just doesnt look right lol

  • @fmlzz it doesn't look good because MI is about caricatures, which was possible when using 2D, with 3d they don't look or act like we would expect to. It's almost like being in a looney tunes film.

  • lol... You guys are stuck in the past. Time to grow up now people. Old crap graphics are getting replaced with well.... GOOOD GRAPHICS, you fucking tards. Sure lets make new games with 64 bit graphics, lmao!! You guys are complaining about games becoming better looking!! RETARDS!

  • @Solo420247 Yes "Time to grow up now people" was said by the same person who at the end of his rant capsed 'retards'. You don't have to make bad graphics. Just well. Make the game 2D. Not 3D. Monkey island has traditionally been 2D. Should have stuck with 2D. This is way too childish goofy. Not just childish goofy which I loved... Well, thats just my opinion. Someone seem to think this is top notch. I guess that someone is young and did not experience what the old MI's used to be like

  • @Solo420247 And also. You fight like a dairy farmer!

  • @Solo420247 lmao these grapics arent good

  • @Solo420247

    You should learn not to call your opponents retards. No one in history has ever won a debate that way.

    Sure, I might think that the people complaining about the 3D graphics are a bunch of overzealous purists who should stop judging games purely on the graphics and instead be grateful that the series got a revival at all and that two of the original creators were involved in the project, which is a luxury not many revived series gets.

    But I still won't call them retards.

  • monkey island was dead to me by 4. i understand updating to keep up with the "times" or whatever but 3d is changing the basis of the game itself in my opinion.

  • THis isnt fucking gameplay. ITs just a video

  • wtf? MI used to be funny...

  • ugh monkey island in 3D sucks.... better in 2D high def

  • what's with elaine's newfound british accent

  • I just have to say it.. 3D sucks! 2D rules!.. the 2D cartoon style like Curse of Monkey Island fits the story the caracters and the whole essence of Monkey Island muuuch much better, this truly sucks, it just blows I hate it.. they ruined everything :'( x)!

  • Dudes shut the fuck up about the 3d, they picked 3d and made the game in 3d, so your stuck with it, im a big MI fan and i love this game! sure its it still has the people and humor, i do not care what D its in aslong as i can play it...so please, stop wining, there not forsing you to buy it, so stop moning bout it...thank you

  • this game would be awsome if they only made it in fullscreen. i mean most of adventure games (even new ones) are fullscreen

  • @simon1234simon it is fullscreen o_O

  • @shapeshift0x it's seems to be widescreen only. you have black bars on a regular monitor. is there somekind of aspect ratio switcher?

  • This shit just get's worse and worse for every year!

    And that Guybrush and Elaine "they're a couple" bullshit is just fucking eating away at me!

    And that stuff about LeChuck always coming back.

    And that shit with him meeting the same characters over and over again!

    It's boring and cliche!

    They should have ended with the 2 first games and just left it there and released Monkey Island 3 now, 20 years after!

  • If they didnt want to make it in 2D they didnt have to make it in shitty 3D....this looks lame; although I kind of like the story and the humor, but still.

  • yawn

  • @kragle2008 like what 2d adventure game?

  • Why cant they just use the curse of monkey island style again?

  • @lauritzmh Yeah, third one was the best Monkey Island

  • @isod33

    I really want to be a The curse of monkey island Virgin again!!!

  • @lauritzmh I know, but I also really liked the new ones as there is many new funny unique characters, few new phrases for Guybrush, and the funny faces explaining their emotions. The effects werent too realistic, though this game is not meant to be horror =D I really laughed my ass off when I saw Murray =) Also when I saw the mysterious man at pirate crossroads. He's probably the same as in the curse of monkey island, taking ye to Skull island. Still, I'd prefer third one =D

  • @isod33

    Yeah the new ones is very good! Just nood as good as it would have been with The Curse design(My opinion)! I also think that it is fun to hear som sentences that also was in the other games like in this video at 1:02

  • Personally if you like the Monkey Island story then you shouldn't care about what it looks like, they were probably just experimenting with new designs... but still every man to his own opinion :)

  • @182rooster182

    I understand but a fun thing in monkey island is the designs and they just need to be 2d and cartony just like the curse of monkey island!(my opinion)

  • what do you mean with 3D? you mean the effect like in films like avatar or sth else oder du you mean 3D that you don´t just move left an right ? (hope you know what i mean )

  • 3d is terrible, low budget??

  • i agree with everyone who said 3D is bad... i mean 2D is still very much cool :-) all the best adventure games were 2D!

  • @kragle2008 well i think the game in 3D looks cool

  • I thinks its good they try new thinks

  • that seemed a bit lame, but I'll try it regardless. :P

  • HAND THE RIGHTS OVER TO TIM SCHAFER!!

  • I LOVED this game. Telltale have revived the series well and I can't wait for the next game

  • true! curse of monkey island was monkey islands prime time!

  • @Jonah1337 Monkey Island 1 and 2 was the prime time, number three was just a very good result because the team that worked on it studied very well the first two. In the first two, you play a computer game, in the third you're watching sunday cartoons. They just copied a lot good stuff from the previus ones, like the cementery (with the same music), the sword fighting, etc. Anyway, it depends of how old you are, I think MI2 has the best gameplay ever, also the best story.

  • Im sorry but nothing beats the curse of monkey island!

  • @BrileyBeelo YES!

  • @BrileyBeelo the first two do, by miles.

  • that's not gameplay you ucking retard!!! it's called a m ucking cutscene...

  • what are pot stickers? x)

    and im asking seriously

    im not born english

  • I liked ALL monkey island games. I don't care about the graphics. People say that 4 graphics sucks, but hadn't people say that too during pixal art as well? Graphics didn't cross my mind when these games were released. ALL Monkey Island games were good! This include all adventure games as well! Sam and Max, Grim Fandango, Full Throttle, Day of the Tentacles... they were ALL good. I love adventure games.... that's why Taletellgames rocks. :) Bringing the good ole adventure games back to life!

  • lol what about enchant the sword BEFORE he go to battle

  • @Laykoz7 I prefer the Monkey Island 2 graphics. :)

  • @mycatisamoron

    i like the monkey island 3 graphich :D

  • @xXxSnakierWolfxXx Me too, anything is better than 3D. It takes away something from the game. I feel it leaves less to the imagination and makes things seem less real.

  • @xXxSnakierWolfxXx

    yea uno.. ive played monkey 3 so many times.. its the best of the series by FAR!.. WHY THE FUCK they made this 3D i don't know. this game was NEVER about graphics! it was about gameplay enchanting music, an adventure!

  • a.) it's Telltale

    b.) it's cheap

    Basically, the only way this (pretty amazing) game was gonna get made was if Telltale did it, on a shoestring. Under the circumstances, it would have been a lot more expensive for them to have brought on 2D animators. Telltale has the toolset and the experience for cartoonish 3D games. The graphics aren't great--they're sort of hacky. The point is the outstanding writing. If you say you don't care about gfx, why does it matter?

  • @darrylglass5102 well i was not aware of that.

    but for me alot of the charm of monkey island was in the old graphics.

  • Wird es das Spiel auch auf Deutsch geben ;) ?

  • ich glaube schon :)

  • omg i want that game xD

  • Well, the Special Edition Guybrush IS younger.

  • Are you kidding me? For the first time in playing the series (and yes, I've been through them all), I really connected to the characters. They have actual EXPRESSIONS on their faces which are not only comic but slightly endearing. Also, Guybrush is kind of cute.

  • Uhhh...

  • Fucking A mate. There is no emotion in the faces of the characters.

    Let's hope they actually listen to fans for the next game and bring back the "Curse of..." graphics

  • What's what I'm talkin about...I LOVED the curse of monkey island. I can't play this game in 3D at all...

  • I just can't play Monkey Island in 3D. It's like watching "Akira" made by Pixar.

    They should have done it with high definition cartoons

  • @waynegacy666

    This man speaks the truth

  • @waynegacy666 I'm a hardcore 2d animation fan but Akira made by Pixar would be awesome.

  • exactly.. 

  • @waynegacy666 agree, i love MI series, and played all 4, but the 3D doesn't really do the game justice like MI 3 where the cartoons where actually half the game. MI3 is still the best of all. Don't get me wrong, i like 3d graphics but this is not a game about realism, it should had 2d sprites and i wish they had learned this from MI4.

  • @waynegacy666 i respectfuly disagree

  • @waynegacy666

    I'd rather rip off my eyes then see akira made by pixar.

  • 1:46

    'I'm fine.. Finish the recipy!'

    'I made fizzy root beer!'

    lol

  • they need just the right amount of wit to make this good, too much is bad too little is bad :P the seem quite annoying in this one for some reason, Monkey island is awesome :) maybe (hopefully this will be good)

  • @Evilidiot1 Well, the cool thing is that you choose (most of) what Guybrush says, so if it starts to get annoying, it's usually your fault.

  • I agree ;) Some people will be fans of this game, that's good, but as someone who has been playing the series since they were 7 years old, this is just NOT a MI game to me. The 4th one wasn't either :( They need to get Ron G back!

  • Are you aware that Ron Gilbert was consulted when Tales was in development, and he gave everything his approval?

  • Yes, I am :). I'm not complaining about the script or the story, just the graphics. In terms of storyline, this one is more like an MI game than others. I just hate these blocky looking graphics. I'm sure Ron agreed to them too, but for shame on him. The remake of MI1 has way cooler graphics than this game, because they actually invoke the Caribbean. Blocky, deformed Guybrush does not!

  • This video does not even represent the full in-game graphics.

    Try to take a look at one of the video walkthroughs out there. This video lacks details like fog and hair blowing in the wind.

  • BTW: The Tales version of Guybrush have a much better haircut than the Special Edition Guybrush.

    Do not get me wrong, I loved the Special Edition, but that haircut really bugged me.

  • @EyeoftheU Have you actually played the original SOMI? The haircut was exactly as it should have been so I don't know why it bugged you.

  • @chunkz1187

    The question is rather: Have you looked at the cover on and several closeups within SOMI?

  • No, I haven't, I am making this up as I go along

  • It sucks that we get the good voice for Elaine back but Earl Boen isn't LeChuck this time.

  • Agree, the 3d gfx totaly sux. and the magic of the game is somehow gone...

  • I've never played the new one, but this looks gay. I hate the 3d version (escape is it?). The Curse of monkey Island was perfect, then they ruined it.

  • you say that cuz u aren't ! all monkey versions are great

  • Shitsux.

    Never let fans make sequels.

  • escape from monkey island was realy good,dwhat makes this so bad,im still watchin the vid,i may not end up getting it so go ahead and tell me

  • wtf? that sucks = S - apesta esa version incluso se ve peor que el monkey island 4

  • This s*it 3d makes me sick!

    Monkey 1 and 2 are still awsome in their 2D glory.

  • LUCAS fucked up the ART. Just compare with this amateur project and cry. watch?v=3bInZ7_y4Lw

  • wow wtf :\

  • i like the 2d version

  • Game scares me.

  • This is the continuing of one of the best adventure game series ever made. This is episode one's intro. Till now there are 3 episodes and it's getting better each time. I can't wait for the last two episodes.

  • Thats right <.< that is not the original

  • gief

  • LOOOL

  • i so miss the old days of FM and ScuMMV
