    This game has some beautiful hand painted graphics which is so pleasing to look at. The game is nice and fun till our protagonist actually reaches the Monkey Island. On the island, it suddenly becomes so boring. Zzzz... I just could not go on and had to stop.

    Решил ознакомиться с одним из самых популярных представителей золотой классики квестов. Не знаю, что в нем нашли ТАКОГО что прямо одни хвалебные оды везде. Простенький сюжет и персонажи, нелепые задачки, отсутствие интересных головоломок, местами забавные фразы, серая музыка, скучный геймплей. Перерисовано все тоже как-то аляповато и простенько.

    Playing this adventure will take you back to a simpler, more innocent time before games needed to bash us over the head with ultra violence to get our attention. They definitely don't make 'em like this anymore.

    If you cut your teeth on, say, Telltale's various Sam & Max or Strong Bad series, you're about to find out exactly what a hardcore adventure game plays like.

    Monkey Island Special Edition is the well done remake of a classic game. The controls may not be perfect, but the graphics and sound make up for it.
