Very Good Game With a Few Caveats
NOTE: I haven't played the GOG release, so I am talking about the original CD version here. Pros: 1. Amazing Set Pieces. This game was an early 3D title whose clean art direction managed to avoid the texture-vomit style of many of its contemporaries. (It style has eye-gouging pointy polygons everywhere.) 2. Characters. It has Guybrush and Murray, two all-time classics. 3. Clever dialogue. It isn't quite as fun as the third game, but it is still funny. 4. Voice acting. All the characters have real interesting voices which add a lot to their characterization. Cons 1. Tank controls. They aren't easy to get used to. By this, I mean you move the character using arrow keys. You have to slowly spin them around to turn. It isn't fun. 2. Two tedious levels--a short maze and a series of grindy battles where you have to experiment to learn what moves beat what. You will need paper and patience, and this part sends some into a frothing rage (it didn't bother me). 3. At launch, the cutscene videos were unstable and tended to crash. That may have also just been Windows 95/98/2000, which also was unstable and tended to crash. Either way, hopefully this is fixed. At launch, this game was slightly disappointing when compared to the third game, and...fans?...are still complaining about that to this day. With hindsight, however, it is much better than average and worth playing, especially if you are a new player. Me, it is one of my all-time favorites. I don't believe the cons are worth knocking off a star, as they are mostly a product of the technological limitations of the time. Personally, I prefer it to Telltale's take on the series for its sense of fun and broader scope.
