Monkey Island™ 2 Special Edition: LeChuck’s Revenge™

Although slightly less charming than The Secret of Monkey Island, LeChuck’s Revenge is still a great game. It's a must-play for adventure game fans!

un classico del passato,imperdibile per gli amanti della serie e del genere.Gioco stupendo,peccato che alcuni puzzle siano totalmente illogici (tipo l'uso della scimmia) e ti obbligano a seguire la guida oppure a fare mille tentativi

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood? A woodchuck would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck could, if a woodchuck could chuck would.

After like 30 years finally finished it, ending is amazing, it raises so many questions even though I heard mostly people complaining about it

yeh nah cant see what all the hype was about maybe a game for kids not my cup of tea

incroyable même si j'aurais aimé jouer a la version originale Quelques énigmes très complexe mais tout a fait dans l'univers du jeux

Non pensavo che Monkey Island 2 Special Edition riuscisse ancora a prendermi così tanto. Appena ho iniziato a giocarlo mi è sembrato subito diverso dai giochi moderni: niente fretta, niente mille indicatori a schermo, solo tu, dialoghi assurdi e la sensazione continua di stare dentro una vera avventura piratesca. La parte migliore per me sono stati i personaggi. Guybrush è ancora oggi uno dei protagonisti più divertenti mai creati: combina disastri continuamente ma riesci comunque ad affezionarti subito a lui. E poi ogni NPC sembra avere qualcosa di stupido o geniale da dire. Ci sono momenti in cui stavo andando avanti solo per sentire il prossimo dialogo. Gli enigmi invece sono sia il bello che il male del gioco. Alcuni mi hanno fatto sentire intelligentissimo, altri mi hanno fatto fissare lo schermo pensando: “ma come ci dovrei arrivare?”. Però fa parte del fascino delle vecchie avventure grafiche. Quando finalmente capisci la soluzione ti senti veramente premiato. La cosa che mi ha colpito di più è l’atmosfera. Ha quel mix perfetto tra ironia e mistero che ancora oggi funziona benissimo. E il fatto di poter cambiare al volo tra grafica nuova e originale è una chicca incredibile per chi ama vedere come era il gioco anni fa. Non è un gioco perfetto e sicuramente non è per tutti oggi, soprattutto se non hai pazienza. Però ha una personalità enorme, e dopo qualche ora ti rendi conto che giochi del genere ormai ne escono pochissimi.

I have a lot to say about MI2, but I don't think I'll sway anyone's views - it's cemented itself as a classic of the genre and at 35 years since original release, what's the point in feedback? However, it is worth noting that this game is a standout example of why so many people tend to avoid Point and Click games. Many of the puzzles are illogical, unfair and, being honest, tedious. The middle portion of the game will have you backtracking over 3 different islands and numerous scenes trying to figure out what the 40+ junk items in your inventory might possibly do. Guybrush will give you absolutely no hint as to what anything does - be prepared to hear him say "Nice!" for almost every interactable in the game. For every lightbulb moment there's at least two "wait... what?" moments. It really is more a case of guessing what's in the designer's mind rather than genuine puzzling. Some more tangible issues: A couple of keyboard shortcuts are present ("H" for Hints and "." to skip dialogue), but the game does not tell you! I really wish I'd known about skipping dialogue button sooner. Some scenes require you to act while other characters talk/act, except the game awkwardly pauses when they do. This makes it difficult to work out whether you're doing the right thing or if it's a timing issue, and you'll feel like you're fighting the game to test solutions. The pacing of the chapters is also pretty off - there's 4 chapters but, without spoiling too much, the latter 2 are significantly shorter. Regarding the writing and comedy, it really didn't hit for me. Maybe I'm the wrong demographic or maybe the jokes have just faded with time. On the plus side, it's a very serviceable remaster. Voice acting was generally pretty good, hot-swapping graphics was nice, and the highlight object feature is a welcome update. If you're nostalgic for MI2, this is a fine way to play it again. Whilst this may be considered a classic, there's a reason they don't make 'em like this anymore.

My favourite part. Just the right dose of cool puzzles!

i m a pirate! one of the best point& click adventures. so after nearly 20years a 2nd playthrough (~6h) ..and a 3rd "run" (1h28m) for some achievements. highly recommended if you like point&click adventures
