DESCRIPTION
Featuring hand-drawn graphics presented in 1080i, a remastered musical score, and controls designed to be more intuitive, The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition lets a new generation of players experience one of gaming's most revered graphic adventure franchises. Help a scrawny lad named Guybrush Threepwood realize his lifelong dream of becoming a swashbuckling pirate in this tongue-in-cheek adventure from LucasArts. Starting in a place called Melee Island, young Threepwood must complete three trials before he can become a booty-seeking buccaneer: mastering the sword, mastering the art of thievery, and mastering the art of treasure. Finishing all three will allow Threepwood to form a crew and set sail to the fabled Monkey Island, where he'll need to defeat an evil ghost pirate known as LeChuck. Trade insults with rivals, solve humorous puzzles, interact with eccentric characters, and engage in a three-way battle for the affections of a lovely lass named Elaine Marley. Fans of previous LucasArts adventures will recognize the SCUMM point-and-click interface, which involves selecting verbs from a predefined list before clicking on an object to initiate the action. ~ All Game Guide

“This was a great nostalgic trip down memory lane and a great update of a classic title. The Monkey Island series is great fun and holds a warm place in my heart (pass the Tums please). It was great to play the game with updated graphics/audio while still remaining true to the original.
Long live classic adventure games!!!”

“While it has very cute and humorous moments, this game reminds me of a time when I found a lot of games more frustrating than fun. Some of the actions required to move on seem so utterly random, that I am sure in the past I would have gotten stuck and given up. These days, when I get stuck, I just look up the solution online and move on...but in the time when this game originally came out--or a game such as Myst--I didn't have reliable internet access.
I doubt I'll be playing this again, now that I've got 200/200 gamerscore from it.
Hey, at least I got in on sale!”

“Lovely remake of the original Monkey Island game with pretty nice and sharp drawed graphics. A classic that will always keep its place in my favourite games of all time. Especially loving the neatly integrated retro graphics feature!”

“Hello, I'm Guybrush Threepwood and I want to be a pirate!
Nothing is quite like taking a walk down memory lane and reliving all the glory and splendor of one of LucasArts' best games during the days of SCUMM. For many of us, hearing our favorite lines of Monkey Island goodness regailed in nearly flawless voice acting is only the cream floating at the top of the grog. New graphics, same good old story, and the great music that made the original hailed as one of the greastest PC games in history all rolled into one. The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition is the perfect introduction for young modern gamers to the world of the old classic Adventure titles and the best trip into the land of yesterday for the rest of us old enough to shave.”
