Guybrush and gang get the gaming equivalent of a knighthood, a Ferrari and a bonk with Megan Fox. [Oct 2009, p.102]
A remake oozing love and affection - hopefully the first of many LucasArts reduxes. [Sept 2009, p.74]

Gran juego. La saga Monkey Island es la mejor en toda la historia de las aventuras gráficas clásicas. Los millones de fans quisiéramos que Ron Gilbert y Tim Schaffer realicen una nueva entrega.

It is impossible not to feel nostalgic with The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition. An amazing remake of an amazing original game.
A dream come true for many gamers of the 1990s, this is a remake done right, with the care and attention this property deserves. In fact, if other adventure games get the same treatment, I would likely re-buy all of them just to experience the new graphics and sounds.
For $10, The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition is a fantastic remake of a classic game.
The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition comes highly recommended, whether or not you are a series aficionado like myself, or just a noob pirate.
The game only lasts about 5-6 hours, and many will find what's on offer exceedingly dull. Still, point-and-click fans and puzzle-adventure buffs should really enjoy it.
Monkey Island is a classic that breathes new life into the original from the 90 's. It has great humour, well done music and is one of the most memorable games I have ever played. It has the option to switch between the retro and new graphics, which appeals to both old and new people to the genre. However, the old graphics leave more room for imagination and the game technically has a built-in walk-through which ruins the game as it is to hard to resist, and should not be pressed until you are truly stuck. Regardless, The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition is definitely worth full price.

This is how point and click adventures work. It has logical puzzles, wonderful writing, and some of the best characters in video games. This game must be bought!

Comprendo que es un juego de hace 33 años y no explica ninguno de los pasos que hay que seguir para que el jugador se busque la vida para progresar pierda el tiempo que pierda. En su día no importaba porque la industria no era la de ahora y creo que incluso venía una guía en la misma caja del videojuego, pero a día de hoy cansa un poco el estar recorriendo los mapas una y otra vez, intentando cada una de las combinaciones de accion/objeto posibles, porque sí, muchas de las soluciones a los puzzles son estúpidas. Así es la trama del videojuego también. Cómica, pero estúpida.
El control del puntero vía joystick tampoco es lo más cómodo que te puedas echar a la cara. Divertido para la época, no es ni de lejos mi género favorito ni me apetece volver a él a corto o medio plazo.
