At the end of Alternative Magazine Online's review for episode 3 of Tales Of Monkey Island last month, which we awarded a whopping 9.5 OUT OF 10, we noted that our only worry now was whether episode 4 would (could?) be even better, or would falter under the pressure being put upon it by fans old and new alike…
As the game begins, the tension between Guybrush Threepwood and Morgan LeFlay is palpable, and all of a sudden we realised that Monkey Island has not really made us feel like this since the glory days of adventure gaming and the height of LucasArts' power. Hell, not since we were running away from LeChuck at the end of Monkey Island 2! This is within the first twenty or so seconds of The Trail And Execution Of Guybrush Threepwood… it is a brilliant, understated opening.
