Monkey Island Special Edition review

Are you a LucasArts adventure game fan? Do you love pirates and Monkey Island? Until now the only option was to jailbreak your iPhone and use the ScummVM app to play the original version of Monkey Island on the iPhone. Fortunately, LucasArts now brings the revived classic named Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition to you as an iPhone app. Now you can play Monkey Island on the small screen whenever you want.

Re-live the hilarious swashbuckling misadventures of the wannabe pirate Guybrush Threepwood as he attempts to become the most infamous pirate in the Caribbean! Featuring an all new re-imagined contemporary art, complete voice over by members of the original Monkey Island franchise cast, a re-mastered musical score using live instruments, plus scene-for scene-hot swap to seamlessly transition between Special Edition and Classic modes at anytime.

The gameply fits the iPhone nicely and is simple to use. To move the cursor just use your fingers and use the buttons on the bottom to interact with inventory.

Here is a video demo of the Monkey Island Special Edition app on the iPhone
