    Lucas Arts have released concept art of their special edition version of Secret of Monkey Island 2, coming soon to iPhone.The screens show how the art has progressed from the original pixel sprites to the high quality cartoon look and feel. The first game allowed you to switch between the classic look and the SE look at the touch of a button on iPhone. Expect something similar in this sequel.

    Nathan reviewed the first game here, describing the game as near perfect despite some graphical and control issues. Lucas Arts have since fixed some of these issues in updates, but lets hope they polish up the sequel so its perfect right out of the gates… and of course give us an HD iPad edition!

    The release is expected sometime this summer… so stay tuned.

      The PC version was excellent, and there wasn’t really anything wrong with the iPod version either except for a lack of screen-space. I would buy a HD edition in a heart-beat. I’m very much looking forward to replaying the second one with new HD artwork. Lets just hope they don’t fall under Apple’s new policy. I think the SCUMM engine is currently in violation of the “no additional layers” “rule” although I may be wrong, in fact I hope I am.

      The iPad has such great potential for point and click adventure games. I hope to see a lot more making its way there. New and old ports are welcome :)

      I am super excited for this, I just got Broken Sword Director’s Cut so I am already in the adventure game mood.
