#THE SECRET OF MONKEY ISLAND SPECIAL EDITION THEME PLUS#

The art gallery is probably the biggest addition and is made up of concept art old and new, but itвЂ™s the developer commentary which stands out the most. There are other, new features which will make LechuckвЂ™s Revenge worth picking up even if youвЂ™ve played it a hundred times before and can speed-run it in an hour. Just like the re-release of the first game, Monkey Island 2 gives you the chance to switch between the classic look and the new hi-res graphics, but things donвЂ™t stop there this time around. Cripes on toast, itвЂ™s a pirate game with glass-bottomed boats! ItвЂ™s bright, cheery and wonderfully, deliriously anachronistic. Booty Island especially, with itвЂ™s non-stop Mardi Gras, spitting contests and cacophonous theme tune, seems to sum up Monkey Island 2 all on itвЂ™s own. Even GuybrushвЂ™s own loveable ineptitude is eclipsed by the brilliantly realised (or re-realised) islands, each of which has itвЂ™s own theme. Guybrush bumps into plenty of other now-familiar faces on the way to finding Big Whoop, from Wally the Cartographer (вЂњ You do open-heart surgery in here?!вЂќ) to love interest Governor Elaine Marley вЂ“ but the real star of the show is the world itself. That's not going to make him any more pleasant to deal with.Дeveloper commentary can be bought in for certain scenes Well, technically he's un-undead now because, as Guybrush points out, ' He was already dead when I killed him the first time!' Now though, the Ghost Pirate Lechuck has been turned into the Zombie Pirate Lechuck.

HeвЂ™s looking for Big Whoop, at first simply because he wants a new story to tell to his friends, then later because itвЂ™s the only thing that can protect him from his undead nemesis, Lechuck. The story opens quickly, with a now slightly bearded Guybrush Threepwood (Mighty Pirateв„ў) sat on Scabb Island with a fancy new coat and a big quest to match. In fact, it even has improvements added on over the improvements that were made for the Special Edition of the first game.

To put it plainly, the answer is вЂYesвЂ™, because this Special Edition holds everything that was in the original, plus a few improvements. So, the question isnвЂ™t вЂIs this a good game?вЂ™ itвЂ™s вЂIs this a better version?вЂ™. Monkey Island 2 is undoubtedly a classic of the genre, proving bigger and better than the original The Secret of Monkey Island in almost every way.
