Family Gamer review Mon, 21 Sep 2009

Monkey Island Special Edition could have been a wonderfully simple reincarnation of the game many of us love and remember. However, the attention to new visuals seems to have obscured the simplicity of the controls so that you now can't point-and-click, and instead are forced to drag an icon around before you can start the laboured process of selecting what to do. It's more of a drag-and-press mechanic that would be well suited to a control pad based console but is simply crazy to be found on the touch sensitive iPhone or iPod Touch.

Inspite of this little slip up though, given a little time to adjust (and this will be less of an issue if you haven't played the original) you can soon get past the slightly tricky mechanic and enjoy the fully voiced version of this superbly written adventure.
