About The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition
Search for the legendary Secret of Monkey Island as wannabe pirate Guybrush Threepwood, solving hilarious puzzles while romancing the governor and facing off against an evil ghost pirate. This Special Edition brings the 1990 classic into the modern era with stunning hand-drawn animation, a re-mastered orchestral score, full voice acting, and the ability to instantly switch between the new art style and the original version.
The game's twisty plot leads our naive hero on a hilarious, swash-buckling search for the fabled secret of Monkey Island. Tales of pirate wealth lure him to the port of Mêlée with high hopes, no money, and insatiable curiosity. If clever enough, he will win the confidence of Mêlée's pirates and find himself blown by the winds of fate toward the terrifying and legendary Monkey Island -- an adventure that would chill the bones of even the most bloodthirsty buccaneer.

one of the best games of all time absolutely brilliant and funny1 found this helpful
I took this at a slow pace and played with someone else. This is a classic for a reason; it's full of terrifically silly fun, and uses a bevy of mechanics to keep your brain stretching for creative solutions. The game is fair, ad as far as I can tell, can't be made unwinnable. There's not really any moon logic here. Any time we were hitting a wall, we could generally chalk the issue up to parts of the map left unexplored. The new soundscape and voice acting brings everything alive, and I like switching back and forth between the old pixel art and the new painted style. both had their ups and downs, so having both was definitely a boon. Recomended!1 found this helpful
Classic game, very clever, funny, and fun to play.
I may be missing something but this game is style over substance. I can only play the game for short spells because it soon becomes tedious with all the walking, repititious swordfights, etc. One really annoying bug is that the music does not stay turned off and requires muting every time the game is loaded. I may finish the game but I will not be adding any of the other titles to my wishlist.
The game's pretty funny. Really does feel like an adventure! It's short and sweet too. The pacing's solid, except for the obvious fact you'll be stuck on some puzzles every now and then. But its a fun time, which is short-and-sweet.
Funny story, point and click, lot of back and forth, cute older game.
