The dancing monkey intro is unfortunately missing, but that's why YouTube was invented. The classic version works fine and brings back a lot of nice memories. The new artwork does a lot of a justice to the old and the new music also works great. The system that allowed the easy on-the-fly switch between modes in The Secret of Monkey Island is back in this one too, making it easy to compare and decide (or not) which iteration to play. Veterans have nothing to worry about as both versions, classic and HD, are fun to play and nothing of great importance has been removed. It is surprising how well Guybrush is portrayed, the voice being quite close to what I had imagined back when I played the original. The voice actors have done a great job across the board, accurately bringing to life the characters we remember so fondly. Moreover, extra animations have been added to streamline the characters' movements, giving the title an overall better look. The artists behind them are really talented and I was very pleased with the great work they've done for this blast from the past. It's worth emphasizing how great these HD remakes of the old scenes look.

The Special Edition mode updates both the visuals and the interface, with beautifully redrawn backgrounds and characters, plus controls suited to this day and age. In the Classic Mode, you get the old graphics and control scheme from the original and, this time around, the modern voice-overs. For those who haven't experienced the last Monkey Island remake developed by Lucas Arts, it is good to know that the title is playable in two modes. The Special Edition of Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge fixes the problems present in the previous one and adds a lot of features to the old game, making this quite a high quality release. While the Special Edition of the Secret of Monkey Island was good enough, there were some gripes, especially with animations and the fact that in was not possible to transfer the modern voice-overs in the classic mode of the title. I was quite a big fan of the Monkey Island games when I was younger so it was quite a nice surprise to hear about the old trilogy getting High Definition revamps from Lucas Arts.

I have toggled with the Xbox 360 and with the PC version and I must say I am quite impressed with the excellent remake the developers managed to deliver.
