When I was a kid, I played games like Freddi Fish, Payama Sam and all the other games but never a game of LucasArts. I have never heard of their range of point-and-click games, at least not till I was 16. I did some research into it and found some interesting titles. When I've heard Telltale Games would release "Tales of Monkey Island", I was excited. Shortly after, I've discovered that a special edition of this game was coming out and I was thrilled. I've bought the game on Steam and played it several times.
The new graphics look great, although Guybrush's head looks a bit creepy. It makes you a bit unconfortable if he stares at you. The voice acting is top notch and the jokes still work. You get the original version of the game with it, which is a nice bonus for the fans, although it is a bit too quiet for me. There also is a hint system, which can be helpful for people not used to this kind of puzzle solving. One negative point is the controlers. In the original, you had a box with commands in the left bottom corner and your belongings in the right bottom corner. In the new version, you have to press a button to make them appear and disappear, which can be quite annoying, especially for one puzzle. I always go the original part of the game, just because it is easier.
Final verdict: a good game, even after years. The new graphics and voice acting makes it playable for a new generation to enjoy.
