- A playthrough of LucasArts' 2009 remake of a seminal 1990 PC graphic adventure, The Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition.
For a playthrough of the CD rerelease of the original game, see: • The Secret of Monkey I...
The original The Secret of Monkey Island is among my all-time favorite games regardless of platform. The humor is an incredibly unique and special brand, and just about always pitch-perfect, the overall writing is of incredible quality, the soundtrack is one of the most memorable in any of its renditions (from PC Speaker, Adlib, and MT32, all the way up to the new orchestrations present in this rermake), and the early versions managed to hold a whole lot of charm with their fairly simplistic graphics style (it was, after all, released originally in 1990 in EGA).
Unfortunately, I can't rally the same way behind this remake. The voice acting is fantastic and carries the humor unusually well for such a long game, and it features the Guybrush's voice actor from The Curse of Monkey Island, the remixed music is a joy to listen to, and the graphics.... they really don't do the game justice. I can certainly appreciate the apparent time and effort that went into the HD facelift, but the style never feels right. It might be unfair to judge it because it didn't match what I'd imagined over the 20 years I'd played the game, but what was wrong with Curse's fantastic cell-animation style art? Why change the 2D art style yet again?
I think that it's not just nostalgia though - I really found the character art almost offensively opposed to my tastes. The backgrounds look fantastic, but the characters really pulled me out of the game. I couldn't engage with these updated designs with their stilted animations, and for me personally, the game suffered horribly as a result. The other issue I had was with the mouse controls. The menu options are a huge annoyance, requiring you to click well below the option you want for it to register, the inventory interface is obnoxious (to combine two items, you have to tell it to use an item, which automatically closes the inventory window. Then you have to open it again and then click on the other item, but clicking anywhere but on that item resets the cursor by deselecting the original item. It's so clunky, and it creates an issue that the 1990 never suffered from. The same could be said for the lack of any verbs on the screen during gameplay. Using the mouse wheel makes a complete chore of selecting commands, which leaves no other option but to use several hotkey shortcuts to speed things up. It's unintuitive and frustrating.
It's Monkey Island, and I love its soul, but this version's graphics and control issues make it a bit of a grenade. Hopefully you avoided it, but if not, switch everything over to the retro mode and play it the way it was meant to be played by its original creators. You'll have a much better time.

I remember buying the original game at record store when it was released in 1991. Loved the copy protection wheel you had to use to play the game.
The new voices and remixed music are fantastic additions to a true classic, but the controls and the new graphics? No, thank you.
the new graphics arnt great and the controls did kinda suck i remember playing it on iphone
I loved the game. And the music was amazing! Will you upload the second Monkey island game? :D
+projecta3halkida I have a playthrough of the original Monkey Island 2 game in my PC playlist, but I assume you meant the special edition?
I liked the backgrounds alot but yeah the character models were a bit janky. At least most of the problems got fixed in the second remake.
NintendoComplete GROG!!!
Rob Paulsen had to have done at least 80% of the voices for this game
What I did on my PC for both this and the second game (can't remember how, found a guide online), was merging the new music and voice assets from the special versions into the original versions (with the original graphics and controllers). Now THAT's my cup of tea.
That sounds perfect

@@jarnalyrkar Thanks! I'll take a look at it.
This game needs to come to the switch
I love how the redo kept the same exact anomations.
Hey that’s Pinky and Carl Wheezer’s voice actor! For Le Chucks little buddy pirate.
Never pay more than twenty bucks for a video game.
You should have installed the "Hair Patch" first. Guybrush looks much better in the Patched Version and much more like in the Original.
Heh never noticed before that there is two different voice overs for guybrushes swordfighting replys. If its the right reply he says it confidently. If its wrong he sounds unsure of himself. Nice
ahh Dominic Armato never fails he succeds hehe
3:28:11 What happens if you select "Er, Um," or "Well"?
I just got this Special Edition. I disagree with you about the graphics, I think they look great...but those controls? They really MONKEY'D THOSE UP.
(I couldn't resist)
Where I need it
Ahh Monkey island. I played both versions and I liked the remake, the graphic redesign and controls were....not very good though. I would prefer a updated bit graphics rather than this weird drawn stuff.
Agreed. I felt the same exact way about Gabriel Knight's remake, too.
'Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled like elderberries!' I'd win every time with that >:D

projecta3halkida WTF?!

Hello world has a new meaning , check my timeline
Eggs mark despot
They sure made it ugly I'll say that about it.
Just jump 740 sec at sword figths hehe
Can we take a moment to mention just how unhelpful, uncaring, and just generally useless Guybrush's crew was?
Argh, MUTINY!
That seems to always be the case no matter what crew he has. Even in curse of monkey island and tales, except for his self declared first mate, minus the part he always requiresa map.
@@allecsgaut8161 Winslow is the only crew that never mutinied against Guybrush, and was overall actually helpful
Such cheap graphics artwork for such a nice game ...
The graphics are too shiny and polished, takes away from the atmosphere.
i like the graphics. anyone who likes the old ones more can just play the old game, ya know? no point in doing the same EXACT thing twice.
just watching the insult sword fighting part. you are not very good at that.
Yeah, a lot of wasted time as if he didn't understood how expanding the insults vocabulary works.
Annoying voice actor. They should have got Eric Idol. Also artwork is shoddy and mouths don't move!? Cheapskate remake.
fuck you you idiot the voice actor is Dominic Armato
@Fester Blats now what do you think? look it up here www.imdb.com/title/tt0244783/
@@josephfrye7342 Wow man, regardless of how much you throw out insults or sources, others are just as allowed their own opinions as you are. Also, speaking to people like that is a surefire way to ensure that they won't try to see things from your perspective.
