Locations are absolutely gorgeous, and with the added bonus of 3D camera angles, the game has a positively cinematic feel to it. Yes, the camera angles are fixed, a la Resident Evil , but I never found this to be a problem in the least. Each scene has tons of details and little animations that you hardly notice consciously, but that add immensely to the feel of the game. There have been complaints about the controls, yet I found them very easy to get to grips with. After half an hour of playing, you'll be moving Guybrush like an old pro.
Direction is controlled with the arrow keys, holding shift down to run.
When Guybrush comes close to a usable object his head swivels round to face it and text detailing the actions you can take appear at the bottom of the screen. The game can also be played with a joystick or gamepad, and in all three cases the controls are fully configurable. The only low points to the game's graphics are the slightly jaggy edges to the models, and the horribly ugly fonts that the game's subtitles and menus use. It looks like someone at LucasArts just dropped a rough and highly pixilated Times New Roman font in, which contrasts harshly with the game's otherwise impressive visuals.
