(More customer reviews)For those of you who don't remember, Monkey Island was an adventure game developed by Lucas Arts nearly 20 years ago. You play as pirate-wannabe Guybrush Threepwood and attempt to uncover the secret of MI as well as defeating the ghost pirate Captain LeChuck and win over the governor of Melee Island, Elaine. It spawned 3 sequels but since the last one was made in 2000, things have been pretty quiet to the point where I thought we'd seen the last of Guybrush Threepwood. Lucas Arts have dusted off the cobwebs and Monkey Island has now been re-made in beautiful HD graphics, newly recorded music with live instruments and best of all with added voice over from the cast of the previous 2 MI games. This is a dream come true for MI fans like myself and a great way to introduce this classic to a new generation of gamers. An added bonus is you can switch back to classic mode at any point during the game just to compare how things looked back then. It's a fun way to see how far we've advanced in the last couple decades. Other than the improvements, the game remains intact without any unnecessary changes. My only criticism would be the new redesigned characters look way too cartoony for my taste and I hate what they've done with Guybrush's hair. Otherwise, it's a blast to play this game again and here's hoping that a Monkey Island 2 Special Edition is in the works.
