MONKEY ISLAND 2 SPECIAL EDITION- A Special Edition version of Monkey Island 2 was released in July 2010. (available for iOS, Xbox 360, PS3) This new version features updated high-definition graphics, high quality audio, new voice-overs and an in-game hint system. The Special Edition version offers a different gameplay experience from the original. Instead of the original point and click interface, you can directly control the movement of Guybrush with a control pad. One of the coolest features of the new version is the ability to switch between that and the point and click, 1991 era Monkey Island 2. So, retro fans rejoice, you can now play this classic anytime you want and even on the go!
