It is not really a matter of liking it or not, but just that it is an entirely different game. Other people took the licence and did their own thing with it. They disregarded many elements of MI 1&2. (MI SPOILER WARNING) There was always an ambivalence between Guybrush being a pirate or a kid playing at being a pirate. In MI3 this has completely disappeared (the different art style also prevents us from having an ambiguous look). Guybrush being trapped in the carnival (or sent back home) is also evacuated in the first minute of the game. It does not make it a bad game, but certainly one that does not really offer a continuation of the first 2 games and is more interested in doing its own thing. That's perfectly fine but I am curious to see what RG would do with MI3
