The game is a point-and-click adventure game full of witty dialogs between the characters and funny cutscenes that make the game really humorous and attractive. You can collect different objects as you play that are necessary to carry out certain tasks. There´s an inventory where all the objects you collect are placed. The objects can be combined by placing them on two circles in the inventory and you can also investigate them by using the magnifying glass. To use the objects you simply have to click on them and then, click on a part of the scene. You will know what to do by paying attention to the characters´ thoughts and dialogues.
The controls are really simple. You just move the character with the arrow keys on the keyboard (or by means of somewhat unusual mouse movement) and you must use the mouse to click parts of the screen, pick up objects, or use the inventory. The game also features impressive 3D graphics, very detailed and attractive. Sound effects are also very well made and the music changes according to the story.
In short, Tales of Monkey Island - Launch of the Screaming Narwhal is an incredible game that will surely attract many gamers of this genre and will make them want to continue playing the other chapters.
