Monkey Island - Best to Worst (Rankings)

DeLucaDeLuca
edited June 2010 in Tales of Monkey Island
Hey gang, so I've decided to find a way to rank the games best to worst on the most possible qualities so we can FINALLY get an idea of what the fandom thinks about the games. I'll keep this open for awhile until we get a significant amount of responses then tally them up and put the matter to rest.

Rank each category 1-10, I've made it so you can simply copy and paste and fill in.

    Sure, it changed monkey island, but it still looked pretty bad. I didn't think the backgrounds were very good, and the 3D was not particularly good, even for the time, and it was re-using the Grim Fandango engine (which used the 3D to much better effect) so that's why I rated it as I did.
