(I don't really like the new Guybrush but, besides that, this makes me excited. ) Telltale Games picks up the saga with Tales of Monkey Island. -------------------- "Okay, so that`s it? Kick some Vanguard ass, find the Guardian, locate the entrance to his realm and a ten-thousand year old disc with four dragon jewels ...and, oh April - Make sure you do battle with the physical manifestations of Chaos along the way, because, hey, that`s your destiny."

Telltale's games usually only have a handful of locations which get reused between episodes, so it doesn't quite have that grand adventure kind of feel. The Special Edition remake looks awesome, though!

The fact that you can even toggle between the two versions is just amazing. This release is a definite must for me. -------------------- "I could never again be an angel...

:nodnod:

Anyway, what do you peeplz think the chances are of them making a retouched LeChuck's Revenge too, and then selling the two together with The Curse of MI in a retail box?
I'd want that.

I think the chances of a retouched MI2 are good if this one does well. MI3 was recently reboxed out here anyway, and still can be found at most videogames shops. Not sure if they'll rebox all 3 together, I'd say they'd do all 4 if anything (I actually have the old 'complete' box with all 4).

I'm not crazy about Guybrush's undercut in the MI remake ("I thought I told you shave off those sideburns!") or his douchebag beard in the new Telltale series. But then, he is sort of meant to be a big loser. Remember the "designer stubble" bumfluff everyone made fun of in MI2?

Did you ever play MI, Tore?

The Jenius Group: Admin Posts: 2,562 Member No.: 1 Joined: 2-November 05	I have to admit, it was the one concern I had about Tales. Could the Telltale Tool handle Stan's jacket? Turns out it can. It's not the first time Stan has appeared in 3d though, there was Es....wait, no. That never happened. Yup. First time.
