I thought the original was already good, but the remake is good as well. Sound: It felt natural, that's all I can say. Not an improvement to anyone but those who can't play the originals due to their eyes not able to handle low-resolution art anymore. Overall, it wasn't as consistent as the original in its style, but certainly worked. And I've yet to find anyone who likes Guybrush's new look, especially the hair. Hit and miss really, but I can't for the love of god imagine anyone thinking the close-ups of the characters being an improvement of the original close-ups. Graphics: ranging from really good (Melee) to cheap and generic (Monkey Island). Zero Mission was amazing, and if there's one thing that Metroid II desperately needs, it's a map. The other is Metroid II: Return of Samus. Right now there's only two games I want to see get remakes, and MI2 is one of them, if only to hear Dominic Armato finish voicing the last of Guybrush's lines.

Overall, I thought it was a great update to a classic game. Everything stayed incredibly faithful to the original, save for Elaine (and I never liked the original Elaine anyway, and her SoMI:SE counterpart is my favorite version of Elaine), and it was incredible to see it all updated. I'm the sort of person who just used the keyboard shortcuts for the verbs and was entirely happy with it.Īs for the graphics, I loved pretty much everything except for Guybrush's head. It's basically the exact same thing from the original, except that it doesn't take up screen space unless you push a button to make it appear.
I can't understand the type of people who complain about the verb menu, though. Kind of how some people use click and drag but complain about it. This pretty much sums up what I would say about those points.Īs for the controls, yes, it was annoying if you were the type of person who used the scroll wheel. That is one of the key features - even if you don't like the new game style, you can just play the original built-in. I liked the fact that I could drop back into the original game at the touch of a button. The old interface took up half the screen space! They could have made it better, but at least it works enough to complete the game. The control scheme was a bit fiddly to use, but at least it didn't obscure the view any more. So the graphics were an improvement, if a bit weirdly drawn stylistically. I think I would have had second thoughts about playing a low-res giant pixellated game on my 24 inch widescreen monitor. It was nice to have some HD graphics to replay the game in too. So the voices were definitely an improvement.
I like that consistent fact that the Guybrush, Elaine and LeChuck voices are the same as the ones they used in Tales of Monkey Island. I liked the fact that it finally had voices for the characters, and that most of them were the familiar voices from the later sequels. I got it an I enjoyed it so that's all that matters.
