Wannabe pirate Guybrush Threepwood, and the now zombie pirate LeChuck, return in what has long been considered one of the greatest LucasArts adventure games of all time. Monkey Island 2 Special Edition: LeChuck’s Revenge faithfully re-imagines the classic Monkey Island sequel in signature special edition detail. Expanding on the highly successful The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition in just about every way, fans will now experience new unique special edition features and interact with the world of Monkey Island like never before. Having seemingly defeated the evil ghost pirate LeChuck in his first adventure, Guybrush Threepwood sets his sights on the legendary treasure of Big Whoop. But wait, LeChuck is now back in zombie form and he's out for revenge. Guybrush will have to use his wits, his humor and his insatiable desire for adventure to defeat his nemesis once and for all and truly prove himself the greatest pirate in the Caribbean. Voodoo dolls, spitting contests and amusement parks are just some of the challenges Guybrush must overcome as he meets old friends, fights new enemies and uses every ounce of his mojo to overcome the wrath of LeChuck’s revenge.

Had a frustrating playthrough, game worked with controller, but character kept going back and forth between scenes and apparently returning the way you came is not the same previous place. Buttons changed meaning in some menus but not all and the puzzles overall were just walk back and forth. I felt like there was little i could wit and mostly just bruteforce. Ended up using the hint system a lot.

MONKEY ISLAND 2 : LE CHUCK’S REVENGE SPECIAL EDITION 8

GRAFICA:8

SONORO:8

GIOCABILITA':7/8

LONGEVITA':8

TRAMA:8

EMOZIONE:8

+Divertente,ironico e coinvolgente

+Background di grande spessore

+Controlli migliorati esponenzialmente

-OST meno ispirata del primo capitolo

-Non per tutti

-Nient’altro!

Le ferie sono arrivate e per cominciare alla grande le 4 settimane piΓΉ belle dell anno si va con Monkey Island 2: Le Chuck’s revenge!

Dopo un luglio lungo e impegnativo,decido di mettermi all’opera con il seguito di una delle classiche avventure grafiche che ho deciso di giocare quest’anno cioΓ¨ il primo Monkey Island che mi Γ¨ piaciuto moltissimo nonostante i suoi difetti, dovuti soprattutto alla rimasterizzazione.

In questo seguito, il lavoro di remaster grafico Γ¨ rimasto lo stesso del primo, con fondali ben disegnati e look dei personaggi invidiabile(persino Guybrush stesso, con la barbina, Γ¨ decisamente piΓΉ figo) ma il miglioramento piΓΉ importante lo si vede nell’implementazione dei comandi, perfetti e finalmente comodi per il gaming su PC, a differenza del mezzo disastro che era stato fatto nel primo capitolo.

Detto questo, si respira sin dall’inizio del gioco un’aria di ironia e leggerezza, perfettamente in linea con l’andazzo della saga, e la semplice trama Γ¨ un susseguirsi di gag ben riuscite ed enigmi divertenti anche grazie ad un velato non-sense(presente in giusta dose, a differenza dell’eccessivo Day of the tentacle).

Il background sia narrativo che delle ambientazioni Γ¨ di alto livello ed il sonoro risulta ottimo dal punto di vista del doppiaggio ma per quanto riguarda la OST, meno vario del suo predecessore.

La longevitΓ  Γ¨ molto simile al primo capitolo ed il livello di rigiocabilitΓ  sempre alto.

Dal punto di vista dell’assuefazione, Monkey Island 2 puΓ² fare scuola come il suo prequel ma lo spirito leggero della serie in questo secondo capitolo Γ¨ presente e meglio definito anche rispetto al primo gioco; vi sono inoltre moltissimi personaggi presenti nel primo capitolo che fanno nuovamente la loro comparsa aggiungendo grande divertimento e continuitΓ  ad una schiera di grandi personalitΓ  DA AVVENTURA GRAFICA. Pazzesco il ritorno del venditore di navi Stan, ora diventato un venditore di bare siccome stanco della gente che tornava da lui a lamentarsi degli acquisti.

Quindi con giocabilitΓ  e background migliorati sensibilmente, trovo che Monkey Island 2 sia leggermente superiore al suo illustre predecessore e che sia anche la migliore avventura grafica punta e clicca che ho giocato quest’anno(visto che credo che fino all’anno prossimo non avrΓ² modo di giocarne altre).

Una meritata standing ovation va alla Lucas Arts che, come di consueto, ha inserito nel suo gioco diverse citazioni come quel quadro nella villa di Phatt Island di Manny Calavera(protagonista di Grim Fandango) e l’ironico plot twist finale con Star Wars come bersaglio della citazione.

This is not a game I played back in the day, and is one I played for the first time this year. Despite it being a pretty old game, it was still very enjoyable and seemed to hold up well. I can see why the franchise is loved by so many.

The second monkey island game in the series! Same with the first game, you can switch between old and new graphic style, the puzzles and items to obtain we're as tough as the first game but with the help of my chat on twitch I was able to persevere and finish the game!

The "upgraded" graphic is nice, but not that good...

I played on both PC and PS3 and have no real preference for the game in that regard. In general Lucasarts makes fantastic games I don't think I have ever disliked anything they have made.

This game was requested by a viewer and I must say it was more difficult than the first Monkey Island game.

This time you have three islands to explore instead of just one. You need to find items in all of the islands that allow you to proceed with the story. It was very difficult for me to proceed at certain points which made me very frustrated since I was out of ideas. Thankfully my viewers helped me otherwise I would have given up.

The story itself is quite funny though and this time an even more shocking plot twist.
