Could have ruined the future for Monkey Island Games
It's pretty much a terrible idea to end your game in a parallel/ alternate reality if you want a future or your game series. MI 2 was a very strange, disjointed conclusion to a two game series of it's time. The ending was then and will always be an enigma. The games ending left players with an existential crisis and an uncertain future for the franchise... Was it all a dream, were the characters and their story that so captivated our interest just immaterial manifestations of the imagination? MI 2 almost ruined any future chance the characters had to continue on their story... For those who were absorbed into the swashbucklers tale and his dashing girlfriend, they would only let with confusion if not deeply disappointed. The game tries too hard to be bigger and better than the first title...this makes it admittedly ( By Ron and company....) too long, the puzzles too contrived just for the sake of drawing out game play. If there were any time consuming, tedious puzzles in the first game there's double if not more in this one... These puzzles are typically more irritating than challenging. However this SE really brings more life to the game, brings out it's humor with it's fantastic voice casting. The graphics of the SE are beautiful, while remaining as faithful as possible to the original game and coming as stylistically close as possible to the 3rd, and 5th game in the series. MI 1 and 2 can not be said to be overrated, but they are overrated....in hindsight. Curse is admittedly considered to be more funny than Ron's drier humor and furthers the characterization of his characters and further their adventure. It fixes the hot mess that was the ending of MI 2 and allows for the series to continue on in the same reality...not some twisted alternate reality. Whatever direction the ending of this game sought to take was likely less desirable than the brilliant, fun and exciting direction taken by CMI. Where as this is worth playing...it's by far my least fav.
