I haven't played the first remake yet except for the first scene to check it out, but I just won Monkey Island 2 remake and thought it was excellent. I'd definitely like to see more remakes like this. Sierra game remakes like this would be good, too. Or even games like Kyrandia. The interface is improved for the most part, the graphics are better, of course. At first, I thought the water rippling was overkill, but I got used to it. The graphics were excellent overall. Just a couple scenes where I wish the animation was smoother to match the rest of the game, like the dynamite explosion. Switching between the remake and original graphics makes the original look hideous. I'm sure the stretched resolution and lack of any scalers or other emulation enhancements doesn't help. I hope LucasArts does some more. Meanwhile, Sierra's old classics will probably continue to waste away.
