And I think this hand-drawn style still stands as the very BEST for this franchise. I'm excited about what they have done for TMI, but this looks awesome.

My only wish was that it would be re-transfered in HD with true-color. I can tell it was drawn at a higher resolution. Is this possible?

Anyway, this style is fantastic.

    I just started playing it again on my phone last night, the smaller screen made the resolution just look beautiful! And my N97 has a very nice screen that helps :)

    I'm surprised how many CMI haters there are out there, I think CMI is the best in the series (so far!!!)

    ok, wait a minute, can this work on the iPhone? Does it have to be a jailbroken phone?

    And I absolutely love this game. It's the one that one me over to the franchise, and I'd played them all before.

    It's definitely my favourite, problem is I've played it so many times I fly through it in a few hours.

    classic XD
    I still remember how long it took me to get passed that point in the game.

    Curse of Monkey Island is my fav as well. :) Why would people hate on it? (I don't normally go on forums, and i'm the only person i know who plays monkey island so i honestly have no idea...) But the first 3 games are brilliant!

    However, i'm happy to hate on Escape from monkey island... gah! actually... don't even get me started :(

    Curse is nowhere near my favorite, but of all the games I think it's the one that has "aged" the best. For me, it goes "LeChuck's Revenge, Secret, Curse, Escape", with Escape still being pretty damn good, with only a few particularly annoying hiccups holding it back.

    The thing about hand-drawn graphics is that it puts a restraint on cinematics. Other than those opening and ending scenes, how many changes of perspective did we get?

    They hate it cause Ron Gilbert didn't do it. Wah. I love the game. Awesome animation..Perfect voice-casting, great music..And it was funny. I was a little 'meh' about the art style when I first got it, as did many others, but it grew on me. :)

    Curse has some pretty esoteric puzzles, though.

    My favourite too, just love the art style and like Tacobob said, perfect voiceover work.

    I love Curse of Monkey Island. It isn't a patch on LeChuck's Revenge, but it's still a wonderful, wonderful game and a worthy sequel. It's the last game in the series to really capture the Monkey Island feel. So far. But perhaps Tales of Monkey Island will take that title very soon!

    CMI is by far my favorite..partly because it's the first one I ever played, but also the drawing style is just charming and unforgettable. It just goes so well with the atmosphere of the games.
    Another thing I love about it is the voice acting by Dominic Armato, he's just the perfect Guybrush :D

    For me it's definitely ; Curse > Secret > Revenge > Escape
    I do still love Escape, I only didn't like the monkey robot and the rocks puzzle on monkey island >_<

    Revenge should be higher just for one lulzy memory from when I was 5/6 years old. I was playing for the first or second time, probably loaded up my mams save or something ^_^ I just sent Guybrush over to Elaine's for the fancy dress party, saw the LeChuck costume and freaked out XD I was fooled and I was a sensitive soul, I didn't play again for a few more years ^_^ True story.

    Haha, love the story Marill.

    I use to be terrified of the nagivators head. But i loved captain dread, and would watch him stare into nothingness for a while before i disturbed him, cause i knew i wouldn't get to see his face again :(

    Revenge, Curse, Secret... haven't played Escape yet :P

    Curse was the first PC game I actually bought , as the PC my dad bought for the house came "preloaded" with tons of games including Revenge, Indy Fate of Atlantis and Day of the Tentacle. I only finished Secret this year for the first time :D
