Horrifically racist. Should come with a warning about the revoltingly racist depiction of a black character. I couldn't stomach playing any more after that. Also badlt sexist and just - why is Simon such an awful tool in this game? He was well meaning, kind and funny in the first one. In this one he is just mean.

Some clues made sense and could be worked out. Others just had no reasoning in them at all, so I had to look at a walkthrough. And that's only because I made myself finish it before uninstalling. If you can't work something out using your own logic, and instead have to try everything in your inventory, then what IS the POINT? Also - Simon was a goofy kid in the first one. Sweet. In this one he is rude, mean, and sexist. Quite a pig actually. Put a damper on the playing experience.

I really wanted to like this game, I adored the old monkey island games and thought I'd give this a shot. There are elements that I like, such as game play, interface. The puzzles really test your brain and are fun but they are so muddled together with no real thread linking certain ones together. You just solve bits and pieces here and there without feeling like you're moving through the game. I've no problem with my brain being tested I'd just like a bit of direction.

The game was great, but was disappointed with the subtitle and voice sync was very poor. I would hear people talking, then see the subtitles for the next part and the visual character had finished flapping his jaw before anything else. It's a bit off putting when your enjoying the game

As others have said, Simon has a very different personality this time around, and not for the better. Early on in particular, he's unnecessarily rude to everyone. Remember how in the 90s we'd see clips of 70s shows and be amazed how sexist and racist they were? Well, hold that thought because you may experience the same disappointment here. The port and gameplay are fine, though make sure to save before visiting MucSwamplings, where game is prone to freezing. Slightly harder than first game.

MojoTouch, who ported this game, did an excellent job. It works perfectly and my disappointment of the game is in no way connected to the port but rather to the game itself. I played the first game a few years back and remembered it being quite fun. Not one of the best, but definitely enjoyed it. This one however is absolutely terrible. The humor is horrible, Simon literraly sexually harrasses the first female character in the first screen using foul language about her breasts. I understand it is a 25 year old game and standards were different then. But I don't think I've ever seen such a thing in other games, old or new. All other jokes I encountered in the first few hours of the game I played were also either not funny or in bad taste. It seems someone very bitter wrote them, it really kills all the fun in the game. The music is also very annoying. The dialogs are very long and uninteresting. Pace of the game is really slow. And the graphics didn't improve from the first game at all (2 years!! difference). I stopped playing after a few sit downs, amounting to a few hours of playing. I just couldn't continue knowing there are so many better games I could be playing. Just thinking about other well known games of the time, I can't imagine how they could get this so wrong. Look at Day of the Tentacle for example. It was released 2 years before this game and it looks and sounds way more advanced, and of course, much funnier and funner. You should try the first one but be prepared to be disappointed by this one.
