The Secret of Monkey Island took me ten hours to complete this was with the aid of a guide at parts, and following up all dialog options with NPCs to get the most out of the lore I thought this was a pretty good length for the game considering I actually thought it would be a lot shorter given my past experience of point and click games. This is another game that completely baffled me at parts, whether it be on some of the puzzles or just knowing where to go next to progress the story which resulted in me looking up the guide, to be honest I am not sure how you are supposed to figure some of it but it has been done by plenty of others! I was really immersed in the story of the game and didn't want to lose too much time faffing around with not knowing where to go so I was happy to look up the answers this time.Įach of the game's scenes has plenty of objects that you can interact with, most will end up with Guy giving some sort of witty remark towards them, and there are also lots of NPCs which you can talk with to get more out of the plot and some of the side stories going off in the game too. Even the none main characters are voice acted, such as bar dwellers and town folk which was a nice touch, much of the sound track is also the same, just remastered to a higher quality. The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition is completely voice acted, and done really well. I don't want to spoil any of the story since the game is essentially the story, but it is captivating and interesting right until the end. Every single character I ran into had an extremely memorable persona.
The art style of the remastered edition looks really good though, lots of vibrant colours and some really nice looking background environments.Īs this was my first experience with The Secret of Monkey Island I wasn't sure what to expect from it story wise, but I was pleasantly surprised when there is a whole load of humour added into the plot. What I really liked about The Secret of Monkey Island is that you can either play the game in the remastered settings with the higher quality art style, or you can actually play it in the classic pixel style that the original game was based on, you can do this on a scene by scene basis too. This was the first game in a long while that actually had me taking notes on a pen and paper! None of the puzzles are really time based, so you can spend as much time as you want on them without being penalized. Personally my favourite would be the pirate insulting duels.
The puzzles in The Secret of Monkey Island are in adventure style and make no sense what so ever until you finally figure it out, then it becomes clear as day, but all of the puzzles are fun to take part in. The game has no death scenes in it for your character game play is heavily focused on puzzles and exploring. You are able to explore around the world and interact with objects in a couple of different ways, such as inspecting them, picking them up, pushing or pulling for example, whilst you are also able to interact with other NPCs in the game through multiple dialogue options.
This game is set in a third person perspective point and click style gameplay. You play as Guy Threepwood - a guy who dreams of becoming a pirate. The game is set in the Caribbean at the time of pirates. The remake was released in mid-2009 on PC, Mac, PSN and Xbox Live Arcade. The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition is a remake of the popular Lucas Art point and click adventure game which was released back in 1990.
