Wannabe pirate Guybrush Threepwood, and the now zombie pirate LeChuck, return in what has long been considered one of the greatest LucasArts adventure games of all time. Monkey Island™ 2 Special Edition: LeChuck’s Revenge™ faithfully re-imagines the classic Monkey Island™ sequel in signature special edition detail. Expanding on the highly successful The Secret of Monkey Island™: Special Edition in just about every way, fans will now experience new unique special edition features and interact with the world of Monkey Island like never before.
Having seemingly defeated the evil ghost pirate LeChuck in his first adventure, Guybrush Threepwood sets his sights on the legendary treasure of Big Whoop. But wait, LeChuck is now back in zombie form and he's out for revenge. Guybrush will have to use his wits, his humor and his insatiable desire for adventure to defeat his nemesis once and for all and truly prove himself the greatest pirate in the Caribbean. Voodoo dolls, spitting contests and amusement parks are just some of the challenges Guybrush must overcome as he meets old friends, fights new enemies and uses every ounce of his mojo to overcome the wrath of LeChuck’s revenge.
That's it.
The Monkey Island saga is probably one of the greatest and most important things happened to human art in the '90s, and they gave us this messy remake which adds lots of bugs, a couple of which will completely stall your game and kill it, rendering it impossible to finish.
In 2021 they haven't patched the game yet.
That's offensive and amateurish.
I'm a huge Monkey Island series fan, and I think Monkey Island 2 is good as an adventure game, but it's nowhere near as good as the original Monkey Island game, both in terms of the plot as well as the humor. It was nice to see some familiar faces in the game as Guybrush searches for Big Whoop, which after playing this game I would say is pretty aptly-named. I did not care for the ending of this game at all. Perhaps the ending was written as such so as to allude that another Monkey Island sequel would be coming in the future to continue the story, but I think that could have been achieved without such an inexplicably twisted and weird ending, and rather than leaving me on the edge of my seat, it left me scratching my head, devoid of the satisfaction that would typically come from completing a such game.
All that being said, the verb menu was greatly improved since the previous remake, and the way Guybrush was drawn was much closer to what original Monkey Island 2 fans would have expected. The audio commentary and bonuses were a real treat, and in my opinion, they are what makes the special edition a definite must-have for Monkey Island fans.
I've never played the original one, I've only played the 1st remake and this sequel.
It's a very nice point & click adventure, full of humor and funny dialogs.
Puzzles are harder to solve than in the first game, they are not really logic, hint system is sometimes good sometimes not really on focus.
Recommended to everybody, especially if you have liked the first game :)
Been having trouble installing this on two separate machines that both say installation failed. No other game has given me issues like this, especially on two different PC's. Bought the game maybe two years ago and never tried installing until now, so warranty is up. Any help or direction to a help forum would be appreciated, thank you.
