The only nice thing was the appearence of the Screaming Narwhal and it's captain wich was just brilliant ! And when you finally reach Deep Gut it all gets better and I started really enjoying the game. But for me it could in no way live up to Curse of - or even Escape from Monkey Island
I liked the second one a lot better though, thought 3D worked real well for Spinner Cay, gave it a real fantasy look. And can't wait for Chapter 3. Apparantly Murray is gonna make an appearence. Maybe I will get the Curse of MI feeling back after all

I treat ToMI like all episodic series. I don't expect all the answers to show up in the first episode like many people seem to expect.

Stuff like Spoiler:merepeople, giant manatees, news reporters, mad scientists, pool diving competitions, ancient tribes, school etc. would never appear in the first 3 games. They were all about pirates, lost treasures, ghosts and voodoo. |
Yeah, you didn't play the same game I did. Last time I checked, the Monkey Island series was all about spoofing pirates and inconsistent concepts. So, I take it that the traditional Sierra death scene dialog in Secret of Monkey Island doesn't fit in ToMI bandwagon? Oh wait, people are just playing ignorant all over again.
