Like others here, I got the first two Monkey Island games in a Lucasarts collection (though I can't recall which one), and loved them. I then bought Curse of Monkey Island when it was released, and it is STILL my favorite. The animation style just fit so well. Escape From Monkey Island was a HUGE letdown. They succumbed to the lure of "3D modeling" and the result was a game that, IMHO, looked worse than the previous one AND had unnecessarily inflated system requirements, PLUS just wasn't as good of a game.

I've purchased Tales of Monkey Island, and I have high hopes, but I still don't like the 3D animation style. It is great for some games (Grim Fandango, for one), but it just doesn't fit MI as well as the style in "Curse" did, IMHO. The real question is how good the gameplay is, and reviews I've read have given me hope, but I'll just have to judge for myself, I guess, if I ever find the time.
