Gaming Bits writes: "Chapter four in the five part Tales of Monkey Island has one of these greatest plots and the best climax of the series so far. There are some major problems though with the pacing and level design in The Trial and Execution of Guybrush Threepwood, but do they outweigh the astounding plot? Read through my entire review to find out if you should pick it up."
Character Evolution - Guybrush Threepwood
.... he was just so great in Monkey Island 1 and 2, design-wise.
... and then they went all cartoony with him for MI3, they went cartoony 3D with him in MI4, and they went butt-ugly redrawn sprite for the remakes of 1 and 2. Sadly.
There's some fan-art out there which shows how Guybrush SHOULD look when you do a HD-remake, which sticks true to the original design of the character while still looking great for todays' gamers.
Guybrush is such a brilliant character, but he hasn't been done justice by Lucasarts since Monkey Island 2. Sadly.
I like the how the remakes look. You can't possibly expect there to be a definitive 'remade Threepwood' when the first ones came out in early 90's. You could hardly tell certain pixels apart back then.
For all of you folks out there who are gaming on a budget, here are some sweet deals to take advantage of. It’s not every day that you get to play free video games, but here are several offers that will allow you to do just that.
Get some classic point and click action for super cheap thanks to pirates and silly sales.
