original graphics and no voice or recrapped graphics with voice? I havent been able to play it yet!!! Help me! My first monkey island experience needs to be perfect!!!
I personally like the new graphics and I haven't played it either but plan on doing so with new graphics and voice. But this is GOG, 99% of people here will tell you to go with old graphics.

So I say this: go with what you want :) The story and gameplay is what matters and that experience will be perfect no matter what

If you do choose the new graphics, I've put together a mod pack with multiple graphical tweaks.

Well do you have tolerance for the older style and don't mind not having voice?
I personally like voice overs because I feel like it adds to the story. It's also nice to have high resolution widescreen graphics. The mod pack I compiled should alleviate many concerns about the newer graphics.

Well, those mods were made to make the newer graphics look closer to the old ones as well as fix some graphical bugs.

But I understand if you don't want to use mods on your first run through
play it twice

first the original as it has always been and the way it has been played for nearly 20 years
and then the modern update
There is also a third option where you can play with original graphics and voice. Here is a script/guide to build the ultimate talkie version for The Secret of Monkey Island.
