For example, remember Spiffy the dog? The one who's close up was cut out of the original Monkey Island? Well if you approach Spiffy and talk to him, you will see he has finally been given the close up he deserves after 20 years. There will be some surprises you didn't see in the special edition of the game, but nothing wildly different. Of course those of us that know the game like the back of our hand will have no use for this, but it's a great thing to include for new players. And the great thing about it is that the player can choose just how much they want to be spoiled, from a general tip to an in your face arrow pointing at the door to the Scumm Bar saying 'Walk through the door with the sign that says 'Scumm Bar'', as was the example given to me at E3. Rather than having players who get stuck on a puzzle break the experience and go to the Internet for help, a simple push of a button provides a hint on what to do next. All the text, puzzles, and jokes have not been changed, just have received a very nice facelift.Ī new feature that has been added to the game is a hint system. That is the beauty of this special edition: the game itself has not been changed one bit. With just the push of a button you can seamlessly switch between the special edition game and the original, just as it was released 20 years ago.

If you still can't get used to Guybrush's new look and just want to enjoy the original game, you can do that too. “There will be some surprises you didn't see in the special edition of the game, but nothing wildly different.” The music is also completely re-recorded. Just like the new Tales of Monkey Island, Dominic Armato is returning to voice Guybrush, as well as Alexandra Boyd as Elaine and Earl Boen as LeChuck. One of the best parts about the new version of the game is that it is fully voiced. While Guybrush might look a bit off in the new cover art for the game, I think he looks just fine in-game. Every scene of the game has been beautifully hand painted with character sprites layed on top. And it was really great seeing Guybrush's classic opening line in stunning HD. It showed the title screen with Melee Island in it's 8-bit glory, and then transitioned to the all new Special Edition graphics. The demo shown started just like classic Secret of MI. Rather than telling all about the original game, I will direct you to our excellent Secret History article if you haven't already played the game (for shame!). It is the exact same game as the original, only with modern visuals and several other perks. The Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition is just like the special edition of Star Wars (a Star Wars reference? In my Mojo?) only better.
