Mr.Lukie Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 I just thought it would be interesting to see what order of popularity the games are in. My prediction (as well as my opinion) is: 1. Curse of Monkey Island 2. Monkey Island 2: Lechuck's Revenge 3. Secret of Monkey Island 4. Escape from Monkey Island I look foward to seeing how accurate my predictions are.

EnchiladaMan Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 Hard decision between SMI and LCR, but LCR is top. The story is so non-linear. In this, I mean you can do pretty much any order you want to after you get rid of Largo. It had great haw haw kneeslapping jokes, funny animation like when you saw off that guy's pegleg, and a masterful ending that is still a topic of discussion on these forums. Plus, you gotta love the name, it's the only one that has the title come after it. (unlike secret of...curse of...escape from... not that that's bad, it's just cooler. it sets it apart) Close behind is SMI. The original. The three trials, somewhat nonlinear, but a bit more linear compared to LCR. The silly conversation with Meathook (Cannonball head!) was classic, as was the origin of the "You fight like a cow" joke. CMI is next. Still good. Great voice casting. Much more linear story. (I liked travelling between islands on LCR) It had good things that the previous ones couldn't have with voices, such as Guybrush "auditioning" for the Barbershop Quartet, another classic moment. Oh! And the introduction of Murray! EMI was not as great, but sill fun to play. The papery 3d characters stood out over the 2d backgrounds. The file retrieval system on Lucre Island was annoying, too. Even if you know how to do it. But yeah, LCR, SMI, CMI, EMI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Das Mole Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 mi2 all the way! here's my list: mi2 mi1 mi3 mi4 okay, obviouly, mi4 is deservent of last place, we all probably agree. then mi3, mainly because of the fact that the original two are the best. on a scale of 1 to 10, mi3 comes in at about a 9. unfortunately, it is beaten by mi1 and 2, they're both 10s, but mi2 is just better. probably because of the better humor. but mi1 felt more adventurous. so, mi2 gets first, then mi1 is second. they're both deservent of 1st and if could make it a tie, i would. but for some reason mi2 just seems better for me.

Remi Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 MI2. MI1, CMI and EMI are pretty equal to me for various reasons I've stated before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MortalPlague Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 I have to go with Secret of Monkey Island, followed by the others in sequential order. Unfortunately, I didn't get to play the series in sequence originally, and the second was the first I played, and I also played it on easy. Upon replaying it, my opinion may well be swayed.

thripweed Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 i thought all of them were excellent, but my favourite has to be MI2. Rapp scallion is great, poor sod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregD Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 MI2 for sure, it has so much. The adventure, the gameplay, the atmosphere, locations you want to visit again and again, memorable characters, hilarious jokes and of course the non linear puzzles which aren't frustrating at all. No other adventure game has beaten mi2 in all of these aspects yet, for me it is the perfect adventure. SMI and CMI come close in 2nd but they still didn't manage to capture the same atmosphere the second game had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pHILBRUSH Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 Yeah, me too, I think that MI2 is second best, though;) -pHILBRUSH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Isaac Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 Yeah, CMI is the best. All the voices and better graphics made it much more enjoyable. I also prefered the Point-And-Click interface than the 3D interface in MI4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yufster Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 To be perfectly honest I couldn't choose between SMI and LCR. If I had to choose between them, I'd shoot myself between the eyes. And 3 is awesome. So I guess.... 1. SMI and LCR 2. CMI 3. EMI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MortalPlague Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 Upon replaying "LeChuck's Revenge", I am simply amazed and astounded by the game. In my opinion, it's the best by far. The only thing it lacks in are graphics, and honestly, in some ways, the pixels are a good thing. It just seems to fit the game here. And even though the music of "Curse of Monkey Island" was better quality, I think this one has the best composition overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sizuela Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 I would have to say: 1.CMI 2.LCR 3.EMI 4.SMI 1. Just plain fun, no confused doors to find or bolders to fit in the right hole. CMI has out of doubt the best voices and I like the 2D-grafics. 2. I like the Icelands and the maskerade (gutbrush in a dress) *g* I also like the grafics here of some reason.. and it's pretty fun too.. miss voices. 3. Not that bad after all, it's pretty hard thought, I was really confused on monkey island! the bolders and to cometo the other side and those things.. (i'm dumb I know) *g* well.. anyway, I liked the school for once. 4. umm.. I don't know really.. it's not that fun.. running around looking for undead pirats underground isn't my thing.. urk.. (why the heck are you playing MI!?) well that would be all..! //siz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junior™ Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 I would rank the games like that: LeChuck's Revenge The Curse of Monkey Island The Secret of Monkey Island Escape From Monkey Island The order changes quite frequently though. It's hard to pick favourites out of four excellent games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Udvarnoky Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge is the best. Close behind it is The Secret of Monkey Island. Then Curse then EMI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(im really curious, wot MI4 jokes you found awsome...erm...ly funny?) I love every MI games humor. I just found the other 3 funnier. One MI4 joke that stuck in my mind is: Guybrush: What's with all the dead animals? Ozzie: I like having them around. They remind me where I came from. Guybrush: Burbank? I found Guybrush in MI4 to be the funniest one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
