After a long nail grinding wait in 2009 Telltale game finally took pity of adventure gamers out there and began the continuation of the Monkey Island series. Guybrush, Elaine and LeChuck come roaring back in eye pleasing 3D, as opposed to the last instalment of the series - MI4, which was less than graphically appealing. The interface is a far cry from it's predecessor, as the mouse takes the central role once again. Although perhaps the new format of producing adventure games, in episodes over a period of time might not be that good for the overall atmosphere, it does divide the game into bite sized chunks. And while it may be possible to play the game without prior knowledge of the series, playing all the prequels (the really older ones were just recently upgraded in graphics and sound, so give those a try too) is highly recommended. Why? Because they're good, funny and classics. And I hope this one will prove the same. Also note, it comes in a nice box full of goodies - Booty, if you will.
