Besides, everyone should recognize that it's a throw-off to Wolfenstein 3-D, which was the first 3-D FPS, waaay before Jedi Knight, let alone Dark Forces 2.
If I had to say anything.. I'd say that the order (for me) goes something like this:
Episode 5 - I connected with this thing SO much, it isn't funny (even though it is). While it is shorter, the overall enjoyment and nostalgia were off the charts for me. It's almost hard to choose between this and episode 4.
Episode 4 - The only thing that could have made this better was if it had looked like the "Dream" the entire time and was a movie I owned on DVD. I cracked up constantly.
Episode 3 - As some noted, the humour was great, it was Strong Bad genuinely being Strong Bad and felt very much right out of the emails and so forth (although I didn't enjoy the Fun Machine game this time around).
Episode 2 - It's really quite hard to tell whether I like this better than 3, because I think I laughed more at this, but I'm gonna stick it in 4th anyways.
Episode 1 - It was the first episode, it was good, but the others just kept getting better.
No, seriously. This series was good, and only got better with each episode. It's true that each episode had drawbacks. Episode 1 was too easy, Episode 2 had the board game which while fun also slowed the game down too much, Episode 3 had LHBO which was by far the hardest Videlectrix game in the SBCG4AP series and I have yet to get a high score in the green, Episode 4 could have seriously been made entirely in the dream sequence style and kept in character (most of the time) and been truly awesome, and Episode 5 was epic and win but waaay too short and missing some characters.
Episode 4 gets off for not having Homsar because it had Senor Cardgage, who came outta nowhere and I didn't expect him at all.
