The Screaming Narwhal might seem like a strange name for a Caribbean pirate ship, but in the world of Monkey Island, that kind of eccentricity is par for the course. In years past, the Monkey Island series earned a cult following for its quirky humor and entertaining adventures. Launch of the Screaming Narwhal, the first episode in the new Tales of Monkey Island series, does a good job of drawing on the franchise"s strengths, stranding Guybrush Threepwood on a strange island with plenty of obstacles to overcome and jokes to ***. The brightly colored cartoony aesthetic works well artistically, but there are some technical hitches that can occasionally make it a bumpy ride. Still, there"s enough good-natured humor and clever adventuring here to make it worth the trip.
