GDN: Tales of Monkey Island Episode 1: Launch of the Screaming Narwhal Review (WiiWare)

The folks at Telltale Games had a daunting task in bringing this adventure game to the WiiWare service. The PC version is around 200 megs, and presumes you have at least reasonably modern hardware. The Wii is nowhere near as powerful as most current PCs, and WiiWare downloads max out somewhere around 40 megs... so something had to give. Fortunately, it wasn't the core gameplay or humor that got scaled back, but rather the graphics and sound. The end result is a game that is still quite fun and good at making you laugh, and it even picks up improved controls in the process.
