    Follows the illogical puzzles line that the first Monkey Island introduced buth with a more boring storyline, with boring tasks and with a much more childish sense of humour. Probably the only Monkey Island I dislike, can't believe Curse is so incredibly good, and this one is so meh.

    If I had played this game 25 years ago, I'm sure I would have enjoyed this remake quite a lot now, but I didn't. Overall the game is pretty good, I loved the humor, the characters, the graphics, the music, the conversations, but what I didn't like is that you need to use hints quite often, otherwise you are probably never going to finish it on your own.

And I personally don't like using hints, makes you feel stupid. But the thing is that some things that you need to do to proceed further you would probably never guess as they are not too logical, which made me dislike the game quite a bit. Overall, not 100% enjoyable experience but worth the time.… Expand

    The remake features are great, but GOOD LUCK getting through this game without frequent use of the hint system or a guide. Some of the puzzle solutions are just so absurdly non-sensical that it makes you want to throw your PC out of the window. Also, even if you know what to do, there is just SOOOOOO MUCH walking and sailing around between different locations.

Some of the puzzle solutions are just so absurdly non-sensical that it makes you want to throw your PC out of the window. Also, even if you know what to do, there is just SOOOOOO MUCH walking and sailing around between different locations. Would've really paid off to give Guybrush a faster walking animation when you double-click or sth like that. I also feel like the first game is just more charming and iconic than this one; there's nothing here as funny and memorable as e.g. insult sword-fighting.… Expand

    Вторая часть оказалось чуть лучше первой, а именно: сделали нормальный интерфейс и более проработанные локации. Игру естественно это не спасает, т.к. в наличии остались простая история, много дурацких шуток и нелепые задачки. Если сравнивать с моими впечатлениями от первой части, то вторая немного более лучше и больше по масштабам.

А концовка ооочень на любителя.… Expand

    Just as LucasArts took the fans' complaints into consideration in regard to the briefness of the first title of the series back in '91, they have now proven that they're able to listen twenty years later as well. The main complaints towards the first title were the unworthy graphics of a contemporary remake and the lack of voice work in the classic game version. Which essentially means that they fixed the problems and polished this new sequel to the border of perfection.

    Stunning graphics and excellent voice acting. [Sept 2010, p.86]

    So whether you're a newcomer or a LeChuck's Revenge veteran, it's definitely worth taking the trip back to the world of Monkey Island.
