None of the first four episodes are better than each other, but the 5th part is by far the worse. Think they could of done more with the story and puzzles. The last seemed too easy and very watered down.

3>5>4>1>2

I didn't like 2 that much - it felt like the locations were largely boring (a bunch of tiny, empty islands, a mermaid village that consisted of about 3 screens, and a relatively empty jungle island), and the episode had the most blatent model reuse of any of the episodes (one merfolk model and about two pirate models, aside from the main cast.. that's kind of lame). And overall the puzzles weren't that interesting (and I still don't get why I had to throw the melted gold off the cliff vs. just walking up to the model, seemed unintuative). Add in bad audio compression problems (which were fixed, but did exist when I played it), and that's why it goes to the end for me. I will give them credit for the "USE ___ WITH ___" jokes

I felt 3 was all around the most balanced - excellent locations, clever puzzles, great plot, and of course, the best end credits of any episode!

4 & 5 are very close, but 5 wins out slightly for being the conclusion and just having an awesome story.

1 wasn't actually that bad, but it felt very basic. That's ok because it had to introduce everything, but overall it felt very traditional vs. some of the cool stuff done in future episodes.

Here my votes:

1. = 4th - Lovely Dark atmosphere and Dramatic Storyline,
and also the best puzzles in the Series.

2. = 5th - Also Dark and Dramatic, greatest MI-final since MI2!

3. = 3th - Funny Challenge and the Best Murray i`ve ever seen!

4. = 1th - Good start in the Series

5. = 2th - Great Episode too, some Fantasy stuff, why not?!


So the whole Season was GREAT! And i would place it
after MI1 & MI2 to the third best MI-Game i`ve ever seen...

Without giving it much detailed thought, just inital gut feeling.
I agree, I don't fully know why either, they're all great, but there was some weird stuff that made 2 less likable than the others.

Hmm okay, going by my reviews on AltMagOnline:

5th Chapter: I loved this so much, it felt perfect to me.
4th Chapter: A close second, Monkey Island grew up a little and I loved it.
3rd Chapter: Loved being inside a different location than just an island... and the ending left us with an impatient month afterwards!
1st Chapter: A good start, really polished and fun... yet tame compared to what followed.
2nd Chapter: By no means a bad episode... I just didn't like some of the more obtuse puzzles and the locations felt a bit restricted to me. A slight step back for me from chapter 1.

My review scores?
Chapter 1: 9 out of 10
Chapter 2: 8 out of 10
Chapter 3: 9.5 out of 10
Chapter 4: 10 out of 10
Chapter 5: 11 out of 10 (its basically 10 out of 10 before anyone goes nuts again :-P The 11 is to show how much it blew me away after the already amazing chapter 4...)

5 (Story, feeling, and it felt the longest episode for me. Made well up for the increased walking and the small amount of re-use/repitition crawling up)
3 (Very nice locations, cast and puzzles. Also; more murray!)
2 (A general improvement upon episode 1. Not so much a fan of the fishpeople but overall liked it a lot. The LeChuck puzzle was totally awesome!)
4 (a dip in the season after the great 3, fortunately not set forth for the finale. Didn't really pulled the story forwards as much as the other until the very end, and generally didn't feel as funny as other episodes)
1 (Not that bad, it's just that it pales in comparison to all other episodes. Which is good, we wouldn't want TTG to decline instead of improve, no? Also overall the episode with the most annoying puzzles (had to see a walkthrough for one and it literally took me half a hour to figure I could make DeSinge's chair get horizontal to actually do anything to solve my situation))

It just got better and better as the season went on! All episodes were absolutely excellent but Rise of the Pirate God ended up on top. Narwhal does NOT deserve to be placed in last but, as I said, the episodes just got increasingly better - which caused Narwhal to be ranked 5th.
