Amazing Remake !
Reviving the classics in this way is just the right thing to do. Same classic game, outstanding music and graphic adaptation, and of course, wonderful dialogs and voice acting. The magic between classic and "new" m... Read Full Review

Secret of Monkey Island was great in 1990. By today's standards, it's incredibly lacking. Lazy remake ahead.
What I liked : - Somes jokes makes you smile. - Guybrush Threepwood's comments on anything. - The island in the intro. What I disliked : - Horrendeous animation, that are completely unacceptable by today's... Read Full Review

It monkey-tasticly brilliant!
Having now been able to play this on the XBLA I can honestly say it brings the fondness for point and click adventures flooding back. Having played Loom recently it was amusing to see the character in the Scumm (which th... Read Full Review

A remake of one of the best and most humorous games of all time proves there is life in the Point and Click genre.
The Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition is a remake of a 1990's classic Point and Click adventure that still today is one of the few video games that is genuinely funny. Designed by Ron Gilbert and Tim Schafer of Bru... Read Full Review

Oh...this game is "special" all right.
Wow, 8.0? Serious? This game reeks of mediocrity. First off, any fans of the original (of which I am) will notice straight away the "improved" graphics. Don't get caught up in any hype or excitement concerning tho... Read Full Review

The Secret of Monkey Island can shine once again, for a new generation of gamers
To keep it short, almost everything in the Gamespot review is spot on. To add to it though, the modern interface is not 'clunky', it just takes about 5 mins to get used to. The new hand-drawn HD visuals and re-recorde... Read Full Review

An excellent remake of a classic adventure game that shouldn't be missed the second time around.
"How appropriate, you fight like a cow!" If you don't know anything about Monkey Island you've missed out on some very odd, but very enjoyable video games. This is a remake of the one that started it all. Originally r... Read Full Review

Well, mates I can only say thank you. After 19 years we can once more play and enjoy even more the first game of MI.
19 years. It's been that long since the original The Secret of Monkey Island has been released. Those years have passed like a blink. Just a mere memory stays in my mind. But the memory of Monkey Island never vanishes. A... Read Full Review

Strange to think this is almost 20 years old, and just as great as it was all those years ago! An absolute masterpiece!
It's strange to think that it's been almost 20 years since the release of this classic point-and-click adventure. With all style-but-no-substance adventures such as Assassin's Creed littering the gaming world of late (do... Read Full Review
