MI:2 Guybrush is the best. MI:SE while looking otherwise wonderful has that weird frozen thing.

Anom2685 · 06/12/2009, 05:10 am

Voted Tales worst just because of that dodgy beard

onlyamonkey · 06/12/2009, 05:12 am

Kinda unfair since we even haven't got to know ToMI Guybrush. It's not all about looks yo! Can look compensate enough for lack of personality? Let's see

Edward VanHelgen · 06/12/2009, 05:18 am

i can't really decide which one is best, because everyone has specific things... and even if someone doesnt like somewhat more cartoony appereance of Guybrush in Curse of MI, its the first one that introduced Dominic, and brought already great writings to new level. Also, Monkey 1 has genuine naive, bumbling Guybrush, who thinks he has everything to be a pirate, who thinks he is irrestisable lover.. Monkey 2 continued in that style, with great humour and style. As for Monkey 4, even if graphic is not perfect and has control problems, i think old Guybrush is there with some great jokes. One of the funny moments is when he is talking to girls, as for example when he changes voice - "Why hello there, Brittany"

As for the worst, it was really obvious.

maximmortal · 06/12/2009, 05:25 am

This is a tough call, I like them all in their own special way.

I quite like the ToMI Guybrush... you gotta move with the times!

Threepwood4Life · 06/12/2009, 06:09 am

MI 2 Guybrush will always be my favourite of the lot I'm glad their reusing that one in TOMI. Was not a big fan of the EMI one just didn't like it looking at his eyes he looked spaced out all time.

threepcross · 06/12/2009, 06:32 am

I voted LR for best. dunno 'bout worst. they all look good. why anyone would vote for EfMI Guybrush as worst is beyond me. he's awesome.

Xocrates · 06/12/2009, 06:34 am

I'm tempted to pick all for best...

Tacobob · 06/12/2009, 06:39 am

Meh. Could never stand the "Robo-Brush" from the 4th one.

yeah i agree, and his lines, jokes are not far from the first 3 games.

SRTie4k · 06/12/2009, 07:49 am

Is this regarding his personality or his appearance? If based on appearance alone, worst is a tossup between EMI and SoMI:SE, whereas personality best is either LC or CMI.

Irishmile · 06/12/2009, 08:13 am

Oh shoot I should have voted for the Special Edition as the worst.. didn't even notice it was an option until after I hit submit.... I say we band together and write a bunch of emails telling them to change his sprite before release... I wouldn't even care if that means if comes out a month later..

Gryffalio · 06/12/2009, 08:38 am

I'm in the same boat as Irishmile, I voted MI4, because I didn't think SE was in there

serweet · 06/12/2009, 09:27 am

I only voted for a bets, couldn't think of a worst. They are all the same character, but in the graphics of the game. All look good aswell, mayeb in Escape he doesn't look so great as the graphics aren't brilliant, but he is still an iconic Guybrush.

Agreed. While I felt that the MI3 art style was not right for Monkey Island, it did have character. The Special Edition Guybrush looks sort of creepy to me.

I like the MI2 Guybrush best, too. Seemed like a perfect evolution of the character, to me.

Secret Fawful · 06/12/2009, 11:39 am

Zombie Guybrush l' Wimp from Escape was the worst period. I like Special Edition's version, as it gathers my attention when I look at it.

After That I'd rate them best to worst...

Monkey Island 2: Lechuck's Revenge
Tales of Monkey Island (going off of gameplay videos here)
Curse of Monkey Island
The Secret of Monkey Island and Special Edition (It's actually unfair to rate these separately as I'm going personality wise.)

doodo! · 06/12/2009, 12:30 pm

I said tales of monkey island is the best because he looks pesonable and confident, and fun, and well Mi-one is a flat faced sprite...MI2 doesn't even look like guybrush , I was massively dissapointed in the changes made to the character IT DOESNT EVEN LOOK LIKE MI - one guybrush ! WTH is up with the stupid brown hair, and the beard and ...it let me down. Mi-3, atleast looks like the same person but in a different style that is drawn to bring out his personality more. Mi-4 looks most like the mi-one guybrush . TMI looks like The curse of monkey island guybrush , only more life like and personable. So I go with TMI AS THE BEST EVER guybrush ! Let's not even mention Guybrush SE......shoot (it) elite .

Rubarack · 06/12/2009, 02:20 pm

I went on looks, because otherwise how would you separate SomI and SoMI:SE Guybrush. Anyway I went LCR Best EfMI worst. I might have gone for SoMI special edition, but I haven't really seen enough to make a fair impression. Some of the concept artwork is awful though.

lmi · 06/12/2009, 02:57 pm

worst/best-looking Guybrush in my opinion (chronological order):

worst - > MI1 (the "walk-around" Guybrush), CMI, TMI.

best - > MI1 (the close-ups), MI2.

and by that, of course, i don't mean the looks of a game in general, just the specific character.
