I just beat it. And I'm so stoked to play the sequel, seeing as after the credits roll it says "Guybrush Threepwood will return." I'm hoping that's an indication that they will remake the next one as well. I also downloaded Chapter 1 of Tales of Monkey island on my Wii. And I'm LOVING IT!!!

I know I'm a little late on this but can you buy the PC version on disc or is it direct download only if it is direct download only? Because I'm careless with my computer and constantly have to reinstall windows and don't have an Xbox 360. Because I'd rather not deal with the rings of death. Is there a PS3 version?

It's direct download only (currently only on Steam and Direct2Drive so far). They might think about retail versions if it sells well. I know of no plans to put it on PS3Network yet.

I hate to be a downer, but I'm a cranky old gamer and I really hate how they made Guybrush look and walk. I also hate the delivery on a number of portions in the voice acting

Yes, these things actually ruin the experience for me :(

Truer words were never spoken.

All things considered, I don't much care for the way Guybrush is draw in the deluxe too... there isn't enough whimsy in the design. And I agree, the delivery on some of the lines isn't quite how I would have directed it. But I love it all just the same and these things do not ruin a game for me!

Just download it and back it up to DVD-R.
