YOU CANNOT IMPROVE ON PERFECTION!

monkey island was perfect, the special edition shines only for the voice and music, the rest is crap and actually takes away from the MI experience.

I prefer the new grafics then the old pixelated version

This is a welcome update to an old classic and it worked very well.

I hope the same will be done to the other SCUMM games, especially the indiana jones series, day of the tentacle doesnt look or sound too bad even when its VGA

just finished it again last night, game is still great and I loved some of the voice acting, especially the guy who sells the maps on Melee Island.
I used the integrated help-system just once and it was completely wrong.

I really didn't like the art direction of the first remake.

Also, I played it for an hour or so and I didn't get the old magic feeling. On the other hand, I really enjoyed the Tales (all the episodes!)

Same. The Tales were great ! About the art direction the one i like best is the one from monkey island 3, hopefully monkey 2 SE looks like it.

MI2 SE doesn't look piratey at all. Sad Seriously,imho MI3 looks way better than these "next-gen" MI remakes. What happened?

Skipped the first one but it looks like this supports new voices + audio commentaries + *CLASSIC GFX* which makes this a must buy. Smile

Am I the only one who can't stand the mouse cursor in this game? Something about it really irks me. First of all it's too big (maybe ok on console where you fumble it around with your gamepad on TV). But the main thing I can't stand is the the god damn arrow keeps moving around depending of the position on screen. Absolutely atrocious. Wish there was some option to tweak this shitty cursor.

Yeah I agree the cursor doesn't seem to gel with the rest of the game.

German site gamefront.de claims that MI2:SE will include an audio commentary mode with Ron Gilbert, Tim Schafer and Dave Grossman. They link this article as their source, but it doesn't tell the names of the developers, so it could still turn out to be just the remake devs.

If we really get to listen to Gilbert, Schafer and Grossman talking about the game's creation....I can't find words to describe this feeling Very Happy
