JonNJan 5, 201010Love it. I had played the original before, and the remake adds some sweet icing to the cake with renewed graphics and stellar voice acting. It's always interesting to see the difference when using the nifty F10 button to transition between the original and remade interface and graphics at ANY time while playing.

GuybrushThreepwoodJul 18, 200910Monkey Island returns! Relive all the classic comedy/adventure with updated graphics that look stunning, new ambient music and voice acting (from the other games) - this really makes MI come to life again.

AlexCJul 21, 200910Certainly brings back memories!!! Bought it cheaply off Steam...having a lot of fun! Get this if you loved the original. Also a great feature - press F10 and switch between the new graphics and the original graphics.

MartinIJul 26, 200910Sweet. never played this game, started off with Monkey island 2 in 1992. So it was fun to play this game in a new design, got it cheap att steam. well worth the money.

MattAJul 26, 200910Fantastic to see this back and with a vengeance too because its a top seller. Awesome graphics, fantastic sound and the best storyline ever in any adventure game...ever.. cant wait to see if they remaster MI2 or something else... they didn't rerelease MI2, Maniac Mansion or Zak McKracken.. so lets see if one of those 3 come out remastered.. my money is of course on MI2.

MaxieD.Sep 12, 200910One of the best adventure games ever!! Graphic, sounds and all things inside the game are amazing! I play all 4 Monkey's adventure... this is the best! I hope that Lucasarts convert all Monkey Island adventures with this style!!!

MichaelE.Aug 18, 20099It is an amasing game. very Nolstalgic. it stays true to the origonal. and the "F10" Key reverts it back to a perfect rendition of the original. graphics and all. why not a 10? the interface for the new graphic vertion of this game is so outstandingly bad. Although a good concept it doesn't really work.

AnonymousMCAug 13, 200910Perfect remake of a classic game. The option to switch between 'old' & 'new' makes it amazing. Captures the spirit and style of the original perfectly. I hope other developers take notes on how to re-issue a classic. A whole new generation can appreciate MI!! And, if they want to know what it was like before, just hit F10. Love it. More please :-)

[ANONYMOUS]Sep 18, 20099I have few memories of the original game, but I think this is as fantastic as it was in 1990. I purchased it on steam for 4.49 euros and I have been playing for 5 hours no-stop this afternoon. Really worth the price. Brilliant.

Apr 27, 20114I haven't played a game with so illogical puzzles as in this one. The best thing is, it has a solution button and you'll find yourselves spamming it. Your other option is try everything on everything. To me, this high_score is because of pure nostalgia.

Mar 3, 20129A great way for the younger generation of gamers to discover the charm of classic adventure games. What better way to do that by introducing them to Ron Gilbert's classic Monkey Island?

87Playing 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.

90If 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.

92Monkey 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.
