Monkey Island 2: Remade and Reimagined This Summer

Monkey Island 2: Remade and Reimagined This Summer

LeChuck's Revenge is much more pleseant then Montezuma's

After the stunning critical and commercial success of The Secret of Monkey Island last year, it should comes as no surprise that LucasArts is bringing a remake of the sequel, LeChuck's Revenge to the XBLA this summer.

Not content with simply updating the graphics from the look of the early 90's original, LucasArts is including a host of bonus features:

- Re-imagined, hand drawn art style specifically for HD
- Re-mastered orchestral score
- Complete voice over using the original cast
- Scene for scene swapping from special edition mode to classic mode
- Direct control of Guybrush. This can be turned off to retain the original experience.
- In-game audio commentary from the creators
- Art viewer that has both the original and new concept art
- Play the original game with the new character voice overs

No price has been announced but LucasArts has given a release window of "Summer 2010."

This is amazing news, so excited for it. Love all those old LucasArts adventure titles, but never played this one back in the day. Was going to buy it on the PC recently, but I'll happily wait for this Special Edition :) Can't wait!

Good news indeed.

I just wish they'd bring the Tales of Monkey Island series to XBLA. I know they're not as good as the originals, but I'd rather play them on the 360 than the Wii.
Bad, bad monkey!

Another one to play with the old graphics. But good call to mix the old graphics with new voice overs.
All work and no play makes Jos a dull boy.
