The remastered score is great, as well, and the staff at LucasArts really has done a fantastic job making it feel like a brand new game. The voice actors all do an absolutely wonderful job and it truly feels like it’s the way the game should have been delivered the first time around.

The Special Edition features full voice overs with some returning cast members from The Curse of Monkey Island and the remastered score. Players who want the classic, no-frills version of the game can play that or swap to the redone version by simply tapping the back button. More important than the story itself is how the lines of dialogue are delivered, and Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition gives players presentation in spades. The plot itself is pretty shoestring, but the dialogue is great and most importantly, it is very, very funny. Ultimately, LeChuck kidnaps Elaine, who has fallen in love with Guybrush, and it’s up to the incompetent pirate to find a way to save her. LeChuck, now a ghost after being told off by Elaine Marley, his unrequited love and governor of Mêlée Island™, has been trolling the waters between Mêlée Island™ and Monkey Island™ and keeping any of the other pirates from going to sea. Guybrush discovers that most of the pirates are staying on Mêlée Island™ and are afraid to go to sea because of the dread pirate LeChuck. Players take control of Guybrush Threepwood, Mighty Pirate!–or at least Guybrush Threepwood, Pirate Wannabe–in his quest to, well, be a pirate. Has it stood the test of time? Yes, it’s still the great game it was when it was released almost twenty years ago, but the remake’s not exactly perfect.
LucasArts has revived the Secret of Monkey Island, one of the first collaborations of all of these great minds, now with redone graphics, full voice acting, and a remastered score. While the four have since gone on to do other things since their days at LucasArts, all have been prolific with work at Double Fine, Hothead, Humongous, and Telltale Games among others. All four of these names are familiar to fans of the adventure genre, and all four of them worked on a game released in 1990 for LucasArts, The Secret of Monkey Island.
