In short: ONLY FOR HARDCORE POINT-AND-CLICK FANS. It does not have much content (not even the usual jokes about observed objects), the action performance is clunky and the latter half of the game has tons of puzzles that really painful to solve, starting with the gorge jump project involving tons of puzzle-like bike fights. The new graphics and / or sound make no difference as most of the time it's quite silent and it is just slightly less pixelated. The content itself is mostly untouched. The Remaster resolution is 720p i.e. 1280 x 720 and it cannot be changed from the menu (you can choose between fullscreen or windowed). The commentary is not that great and focuses more on the work office arrangements than explaining the strange game design choices. Instead they talk extensively about recording some guys Harley-Davidson and also about the Haitian janitor. A bit filler-like. The Monkey Island special edition was much better in that aspect. It seems more like they scrounged together some stories just to have something. All of the mini-games are really puzzles that can only be solved one way. E.g. piling tons of car wrecks on top of the dog car does nothing, though lifting the dog car up solves the puzzle. Also, there there are timed puzzles at the last part of the game, without the usual interact-able object highlighting, no less. A playthrough took 5 h. The guy in the commentary mentioned that the game took 2 h in comparison to Day of the Tentacle's 40. That's probably because even if you know what to do in the game, it is not clear how to do it, especially during cryptic minigames. I didn't like it. It was quite painful. The whole catch of the game is the cinematic western animation, though I have seen vastly better anime and the "wow" factor of the time is gone. Even the 1980's animation slaughters it and has more expressive power in it. The content feels outdated and sparse. Not gonna replay ever.
