And for the most part it was a great game at the time. It was a bit more colorful and had more "scenario variety" than the first which was more of a classic pirate adventure albeit with a humorous spin.
However, when I think about the game the first thing that enters my mind is the "mind-blowing ending". I didn't like it at all and while I of course understood it I was really disappointed and felt like being cheated somehow. Many fans defend it with their teeth, of course, but IMHO it wasn't fitting at all and all successors didn't break the game immersion like it.
If the remake tries to really re-do the original game then be prepared for an "oh-so-funny-and-clever" ending...
