    Tales of Monkey Island Chapter 3: Lair of the Leviathan is the best chapter in the series so far, with several interesting plot developments, excellent use of characters, and the fact that it’s (as far as I saw) bug-free. I can’t really recommend you buy this episode on its own since it’s part of the overall storyline (and more tied to previous chapters than any Telltale adventure to date), but it’s an encouraging sign that the dip in quality in Chapter 2 was an...

    • The interaction and chemistry between Morgan and Guybrush is entertaining, as is the returning character., A diverse set of locations, and good use of each of them., N...
    • A couple of puzzles require a bit of trial-and-error., The inside of a manatee isn’t incredibly interesting, even though Telltale did about as much as they could with it.

    This chapter continues to deliver the fun and quirkiness of the Monkey Island series. The visuals seem to have been cleaned up a bit and the game runs and plays smooth. I’m still left wanting more after I finished this title. Since we’re three chapters into the five chapter game, that’s a very good sign that they’ve kept up the momentum. It’s still a very reasonable price and the DVD at the end of it all is looking even better and better. Read more

    Lair of the Leviathan is the third episode of the Tales of Monkey Island series, and it takes Guybrush where he's never been before. Really. We're pretty sure he's never been inside the bowels of a giant manatee before, but feel free to correct us if we've got that one wrong. We're at the mid-point of Tales of Monkey Island , which is where, historically, Telltale have delivered the weakest episodes of their games. Read more

    This revival is the best so far. I played Tales just after finishing Secret and have to say that Morgan LeFley is the best character of this series. I hope that everything works out for this game and it comes out with another season. The episodes are challenging but not so challenging that I want to kill myself. Read more

Tales of Monkey Island Chapter 3: Lair of the Leviathan

Lair of the Leviathan is the third chapter to Tales of Monkey Island developed by Telltale Games and published by LucasArts Entertainment. In the third Tales of Monkey Island chapter, Guybrush gets in deep as his quest for the voodoo exfoliating La Esponja Grande takes a scenic twist; that is through the guts of a giant manatee Trapped in the belly of the beast, the hero encounters a band of castaways, including the long-lost (and obsessive-compulsive) explorer Coronado De Cava. Gamers must win the trust of the suspicious De Cava. The game also features Morgan LeFlay who may as yet prove as a ruthless enemy, or an unlikely ally. The gamer must lead their group to La Esponja Grande to save Elaine from the rampant Pox of LeChuck and save the world from the gnashing teeth of a certain demonic skull.

Features

The Lair of the Leviathan is the 3rd in the Tales of Monkey Island series that sees the hero, Guybrush inadvertently infect the entire Caribbean with the arch-fiend’s expelled voodoo while explosively stripping the evil pirate LeChuck of his demonic mojo. This in turn threatens to transform buccaneers into unruly pirate monsters. Pursued by a notorious cut-throat Pirate Hunter and a creepy French Physician who believes that Guybrush’s eerily-infected hand holds the secret of eternal life, gamers (as Threepwood) must sail the seven seas in search of La Esponja Grande, a legendary sea sponge with voodoo exfoliating abilities. This game follows the first and second part of the series of five: the Launch of the Screaming Narwhal and The Siege of Spinner Cay.
