It is not only the lighting. The main character probably has some strange polygon flow that causes these problems in the face.
Aah, yes, you're right. See, thats what I get for not being a modeldesigner Apart from that, however, I still don't mind the style. But I do hope they're going to fix the polygonflow. Too bad that you don't like the style, Damocles, but I really don't think its going to be that much of an issue when you play it. After all, the game is more about the humor and writing, no?
Perhaps this post will get me points for originality at least.
Check out Dungeon Deities! It's amazing and will make you happy, successful and almost certainly more attractive! It might be true!

Of course the game lives on the dialogs, puzzles and jokes in the long run, its also about "imersion". So then I have a nice graphical style, I feel like beeing in the game. If I get put of by stupid Art all the time, I cant enjoy the game itself. And playing any Monkey Island, I will automatically think of the very first game, and how the world was presented. So it probably works for (most Kids now) people that never played the old games.
A similar thing was with Gothic 3. They changed a lot, and a lot to the worse in my eyes. Although beeing a big fan of Gothic (1+2+addon), I never finished the third game. I just never felt like beeing in that gameworld again.
Fallout 3 could have been the same error. But fortunately, although much different to the originals, its a cool game by itself.

i also hate the cartoon look. i can't identify with such ugly cartoon characters. adventure games only worked for me when the resolution was 320x200 or less. then the graphics was abstract enough to leave room for your own imagination. The cartoon look doesn't look very impressive to me either. I feel a bit like when Blizzard decided Warcraft 3 should be cartoony.. and WoW too. A shame as the original games had great graphics for their time. I feel it's somehow a trend when it comes to these much older games and their remakes. Speaking of remakes, the remake of the first Monkey Island doesn't look very different from the original. Or perhaps in my memory it was much higher-res graphics than it really was. Of course, it's not really a bad thing, but I've still got the original disk of Secret of Monkey Island right here. "Graphically it looks weak and much worse than competition:" I agree, but I also have to say that the Sam & Max episodes do not suffer from their 'poor' graphics. The humor and fun still very much exists. In the end, even though the animations of the 2D games looked a hell of a lot better being smooth, crazy and true cartoony, I did like the Sam & Max episodes. I guess a lot can be said for going 3D these days (less expensive, less work), but I do find that the 3D animations often look stiff and almost boring compared to the old 2D game. Hopefully 'Tales of Monkey Island' proves me wrong in thinking they won't get close to the original game series. (I didn't actually like the last Monkey Island game by the way, nor the last 2 Leisure Suit Larry games, but that's a whole different topic.)

adventures are dead my ass! looks like the only solid genre these days are oldschool adventure suit me. monkey island = gaming history. remake this will be kind of tricky, but if they come close to the first one, it might work. i also agree that the look is terrible. mi was always a smooth and colorful game for me. kind of like a painting with strong colors and shapes. the 3d version looks dull and empty. very bad in my oppinion! but since mi is all about the jokes and storytelling i might swallow that bitter pill for the sake of entertainment. arrrr

adventures are dead my ass! depends from player to player, taste to taste. last adventure games i played were "dreamfall:the longest journey" and "still life". They were pretty good if you ask me. altough reviewers give dreamfall low ratings, it was a great game(even better if you played the first one). There were a lot unanswered questions at the end of the game, it feels like there will be another game that continues story, but actually small hints back to first game answers a lot of questions. tho waited long for the next game idk when it will come out.

@naysayers: Screw you guys, it's another monkey island. As a matter of fact 3 was the best MI in my opinion, you forget, Ron Gilbert was always with 1-4, I'm curious if he's with this one too...
