Since the summer, Guybrush Threepwood has turned his spectral arch enemy into a living human, unleashed and been infected by a terrible pox, had his hand sliced off, been repeatedly attacked by a sassy pirate hunter, been eaten by a giant manatee and double-crossed like heck. Some mighty pirate. And so begins his latest adventure, on trial on Floatsam Island and framed for a variety of side-splitting crimes. It's a good job the prison guard can't get his head around the fact that, just because Threepwood's defending himself, it doesn't mean he's actually two separate people.
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.
