Well, I am a huge fan of Monkey Island I-III and played them many years ago and still like them a lot. I understand that a lot of people have a problem with the character design and I do not like it as well. However this is not the main reason for my negative review. What I really struggle with is the story telling.
I don't like the father telling his son the story. I cannot say what it is, but just replaying the story he tells is not what I like to do. I understand that they had to do this in order to fix this really awkward ending of the second part, but I would have rather considered it a dream or ignored it.
The other reason is that the UI has been severely cut down only allowing the right choices. You cannot do weird stuff anymore resulting in funny comments from Guybrush. You can only do "the right thing".
Last thing is the resuing of all the known locations. I am currently in the second part and it just feels like the remastered special edition. That is really really sad.
Well there are still two chapters ahead to prove me wrong. If the do, I will edit this comment.

Anyway it does not matter. If you liked Monkey Island, there is no way stopping you from buying this :)
