How is the review "shite" exactly? Its main points is to show how accurate (or not) the special edition is to the original, and they do just that. Those "bugs" that are non-existent is the whole point. They are not bugs, they are features of the original game, not brought here in this incarnation.
Obviously that review is from a point of view of someone who has lived Monkey Island 2 and is disappointed to see features that he liked (aka "bugs" ) gone.

Trouble is, there is only one company doing this successfully. Beggars can't be choosers.

Apart from those bugs, everything he says is true... they just won't bother most people as much as they bother him So I wouldn't call it 'shite' either.
I'm mostly playing it for the audio commentary now to be honest... just as with the Monkey 1 SE, I'll play this exactly once, and when I need another Monkey Island shot in the future, I'll just start up Dosbox and play the actual originals. |
Screw Dosbox, thats what Scumm is for. And i think i'll do the same. Play it once then forget about themI really like the old graphics.
I still play MI1&2, Day of the Tentacle (funniest game ever), Indiana Jones: Fate (now this is a hell of a game), Full throttle and Sam&Max Hit the road (second funniest game ever) regularly. I just wish i didn't remember everything...

There was no Internet at the time. Only magazines would bring some clues.
Only once I used a clue from a magazine. I was becoming quite desperate with Dungeon Master's final "boss".
For me, Fate of Atlantis, was the finest point and click adventure. The most beautiful, Grim Fandango. The funniest was Day of Tentacle. The hardest was Woodruff and the Schnibble.

That's awesome game. It's also very non-linear experience. So many different ways to go through castle, for example.
Although I did played it with reloads. Dying is really common.
I preferred it much more then later Atlantis sequel, which seemed more linear and simple (with some exceptions).

I think the game is awesome. It really is a nice adventure. If you don't like then you're missing out.

You can choose resolution and Fullscreen or windowed mode inside the game from the game options in the menu.

now that i think about it removing the intro was pretty much the dumbest idea ever.
the one in the first SE was raping me with nostalgia and being brilliantly new at the same time.

What about you guys?

they've been using the same actors since they started voicing MI so even if i'm thrilled or not i can't say i haven't grown accustomed to them.

For me, most of the voices were ok, exempt Captain Kate. She was really bad. Whoever did her voice doesn't know to act how to yell.

An update was released, the most important part of the changelog:
- Added intro and outro credits sequences to the Classic version
Didn't expect LucasArts to care that much about the game, very impressive.

Yes, I tried it and yes, it's classic only.
Porting the intro sequence to the modern version wouldn't make sense anyway since the people who are credited throughout it didn't make the modern version. I respect the decision to not include it in the remake, but it should have been in the classic version to begin with.

From interviews it seems they have made these Special Editions with great care. |
