Monkey Island 2 Special Edition: LeChuck's Revenge 2010

Is it still worth playing?

LucasArts' 1991 point and click adventure directed by Ron Gilbert, in which the pirate Guybrush Threepwood searches for the treasure of Big Whoop. The search takes him across several islands and sets him against the zombie pirate LeChuck. A Special Edition in 2010 added updated high definition graphics. The game is built on the SCUMM engine, with an animation window at the top, verb commands at lower left, inventory icons at lower right and a sentence line below the animation. Exploring several islands is its overarching feature. The game avoids player deaths: instead a character interjects to undo a fatal choice so you can retry. Some versions offer a choice before starting between the regular game and a stripped down Monkey 2 Lite mode that skips many puzzles. A new player can still try every verb on every object without worry, because you cannot die in it.
