LucasForums user Guy.brush has put together this amazing video of scenes from Monkey Island 2 in scurvy-inducing 3D running on CryEngine. The result is amazing, with real-time 3D environments made from projecting the original concept art onto a 3D background, and the actual environments made using Cryengine Sandbox editor. Its certainly different seeing Monkey Island environments being traversed in first-person perspective but is done so incredibly well.
Guy.brush teases that he may eventually release this as a mod with some simple gameplay. Hopefully he can find a model to use in place of Nomad from Crysis, but in the meantime we see a cameo from Guybrush from The Secret of Monkey Island.
