Having played and enjoyed the originals (1,2), this is a disappointment to me. Not because it's terrible, but because we've seen it all before. It feels empty and a rehash of the past without reaching the same heights. A hollow cash grab if you will (those who played thimbleweed park will maybe understand what I mean). But then again, Monkey Island was never really my favorite LucasArts series or even top 3. Day of the tentacle and Fate of Atlantis are for me the absolute pinnacle of the genre and the best of Lucas with Loom and Grim Fandango close behind.
