September 18, 2010
Although it's a bit out of order, LucasArts has finally decided to bring The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition to the iPad.
The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition for iPad is re-imagined version of the original. The game follows the misadventures of a wannabe pirate named Guybrush Threepwood as he attempts to become the most infamous pirate in the Caribbean.
This brand new iPad version features a high resolution contemporary art style, but it gives you the ability to seamlessly transition to the classic version with a swipe of two fingers, allowing you to experience the game as it was originally intended. Just swipe with two fingers again and it will return to the Special Edition.
The game also features complete voice-overs by the original cast, a re-mastered musical score using live instruments, a new interface, and a three-level hint system.
The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition for iPad is now available in the App Store for $4.99, the same price Monkey Island 2 Special Edition: LeChuck's Revenge for iPad is on sale for right now.
