Pros

Good Story, very well written, with excellent banter between characters, The graphics are simplebutbeautiful, very easy on the eyes. The music definitely makes you feel like you are a pirate.
Voice acting is still top notch and the puzzles have been improved.
Very funny, you get to interact with Elaine and LeChuck in a whole new light and more islands to explore.
Great humor, As good a game as the first episode
It's Monkey Island, Morgan LeFlay is fun, Easy puzzles.

Cons

Controls! I would kill for a better system; just say no to “Click and Drag.”, Sometimes overly complicated or unintuitive puzzles, A bit too hamhanded and cheesy at times.
Replay factor is minimal and you really have to play the first episode to know whats going on.
No insult sword fighting (still) and dialogue leaves much to be desired.
Just three hour long
A bit on the unfunny side, The plot does not thrill, Puzzles are perhaps a bit too easy, The episode is extremely short

The second chapter of the Tales of Monkey Island unfolds, as this series revival - one of the few well done 2D to complete 3D transitions - continues where the first chapter left off. Adventure games have pretty much taken a back-seat over the past...

When the first episode in this series came out, I had to give myself a hasty primer on the Monkey Island setting; important characters and plot points, things long time fans would want to know, and so on. A few hours of research and one episode later,...
