Monkey island special edition collection pc download

I'll give it a go, but bear with me if I get a bit carried away at certain points. The Monkey Island series was where it all began for me on the PC. Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge was the first PC game I ever played and, when you consider how many amazing, genredefining games have been released over the years, it's something that it still remains, without doubt, my favourite game of all time OK, maybe Doom edges it out, but it's damn close. The first game was equally as superb - if not better - but whatever your own particular persuasion, the fact is that they are both at the very peak of the game development summit.

So now we've got the remake - the same Monkey Island we all know and love in a new suit, tarted up and given funky water effects on the first screen. Everything else is identical, barring miniscule tweaks that only the absolutely dedicated will notice for example, the chef in the SCUMM Bar doesn't interrupt your sneaking when you enter his kitchen surreptitiously.

The interface is different as well, which is perhaps the only real stumbling block in this digital refurbishing. Maybe the voices too, but that's down to how you imagined each character speaking.

The wit and humour, the devilish puzzles and the extraordinary characters are all still there, fleshed out both visually and sonically. The Special Edition is as close to perfect as I could have imagined.

However, as I said earlier, the fly in the ointment is the new control system. It doesn't always work and you sometimes end up using the keyboard shortcuts to make sure you use the right action. Is this game relevant to you? Sign In or Open in Steam.
