First of all I have to say I bought this game despite all the one star warnings, and I was pleasently surprised. I found it to be not bad at all. I do agree that new version could have made the effort to make voice work for the older version, and that the action menu in the new version is a little hazzle (although it's easy to memorize and get the hang of the quickperform action keys as you go along) To me the new graphics is allright. With these newer graphics all characters have a more concrete look, and so it takes away the imagination you had to apply to the blurry graphics in the original version. In this new version Guybrush looks like a total dork to me. A nobody that tries to rise and prosper. That works for me. I always felt that Guybrush was like that, the way the other characters in the game talked to him. Always getting his name wrong, saying things like he looked more like a flooring inspector than a pirate etc. I'm not saying I liked all the new praphics, there are some elements that disagree with me, but others that are good and outbalances the overall experience. The best thing I liked about the new version was the spoken dialogue. It's really good quality and sounds like professional artists that do the voiceover. I find the important looking pirates telling jokes and laughing particulary funny. "Don't forget! X Marks the spot! Har! Har! Har!" If you can live with the new graphics and don't get dissapointed that there is no voice for the old version I would check it out.
