I never played the first two games before (can I boast a bit by saying I was too young? lol) but I've played Escape from Monkey Island and Tales of Monkey Island, both of which were absolutely amazing! And this game was no different.
The same humour was there, although if I had to say 1 bad thing it would be that there was ever so slightly less to interact with (just miscellaneous stuff that Guybrush makes fun comments about) and that the inventory was rather hard to use.
I loved learning all the history of Guybrush's journey to become a pirate and how he runs into LeChuck and gets together with Elaine etc, really made me enjoy the storyline. The end of the second game I would say was a little bit odd if anything, but a must for any Monkey Island fan!!!!!!!!!!

 Memories come back...

What a great pack this is. The two best episodes of the saga put together and restyled. You can notice that the old Guybrush hasn't aged at all and the puzzles still thrill you until you solve them.
Great the idea to swap between the old and the new look, so that you can see the changes or re-vive the sensations you had back-then.
Just two bad notes to this great work. Both of them about the new version. First of all they could have put inside the games some videos, apart from the already existing clips. Possibly the decided to maintain the same gameplay, only modifying the external dress.. but still some new extras would have been appreciated.
The second malus comes from the user interface. Surprisingly the new interaction method is worse than the old one. You have no more the list of verbs available at the bottom of the screen, but you have to call it pressing a key or, even worse, scrolling the mouse wheel. This is very uncomfortable and make the actions a bit more tricky. And you has not even the choice to maintain the old old interface in the new version. Pity. But luckily the whole thing is very brilliant and you can get accustomed to this, or perhaps you can play the old version instead...
