In the first episode of Tales of Monkey Island, we jump right into the adventure right from the start - which means that the player isn't left out of the action. That's great, but the problem is that, at times, Mona's lack of foresight as to the consequences of his actions causes more damage than good. This first episode is a fun time for the players, who get to learn more about Monkey Island itself, and experience the basics of the game's mechanics.
Unfortunately, things don't go so smoothly the second time around. The second episode (Tales of Monkey Island Episode 2) kicks off with a bang, and if you weren't already aware, revolves around a large-scale conspiracy involving the main characters from the first game, including Wash, Dr. Wences, and woman Amber. Although it's not totally clear what the purpose of the game is, what is clear is that Monkey Island needs some more solid storytelling, and a proper software download.
There are a few different ways to get the Tales of Monkey Island Episode 1 software. The best one would be to look for an official release through the official website, which will come packed with all the stuff you need to play the game correctly. Although not free, this is still better than a free online version. However, if you want to save some money, you can download the episode for free through a third party software download site. The episodes are available for as little as thirty dollars each, so it doesn't make much sense spending a hundred or so dollars for something that you'll only use ten times. Regardless of which way you go, downloading the software is a great way to get the most out of the game.
