What's Your LEAST Favourite MI Island?
Okay, so I did a 'favourite MI Island' thread a couple of days ago. Figured it'd be cool to see which islands we don't like (and maybe why?) Unfortunately we can't do 2-3 votes on polls on this forum, so you're gonna have to pick a worst

I also think some island from MI4 will get most votes, because it feels like people always vote for MI4 in all "the worst" polls. It like doesn't matter what happens, I could create a poll asking for worst graphic of the series and probably MI4 would end up last anyways.
It was a toss up between jambalaya and lucre, but at least lucre had the swamp which was pretty cool.
And come on, King Andre and Co. they're just AWESOME.
Yeah, yeah I agree. Small islands, who needs them? Boo for small islands!
Which, I feel, was the whole point with Jambalaya.
Jambalayah Island was ok actually. Nuttin Attoll was a bit small, but I didn't think of it as a separate area. J Island was cool, and some bits such as the raging manatee were pretty funny. It was probably the best Island in MI4.
Agreed, I had my 20 minutes laughing at that too ^^
Well, it's obvious many people are agreeing with me; Skull Island sucks. You don't need to be so extreme though... and please watch your language. It's a small island yes, but it's not like it's the coming of anti-christ or something like that.
Ok, I agree that it was stupid with a giant penguin on a very small island, but it's not like realism is a huge part of the MI series anyways- so I think you could lay off that for a while and just focus on the good parts, like the ride back.
watch my language?
lay off for a while and focus on the good parts? i LIKED skull island
did you quote the wrong person?
onlyamonkey calm down!
I think Skull island played a good role in the CMI story for me. There wasn't much to do on it, but the winch-operator was quite a good gag, and the smugglers were great. The whole scene was great for me, and the actual smugglers cave looked great. I can see why people would be disappointed with the size, though and possibly if they had more time/money, they could have added in a small hamlet full of backstabbers, lies and cheats. That would have been quite fun.
I was always quite disappointed with Monkey Island in MI4. The entire geography changed just to fit around the lava-log-ride. The first church of LeChuck had atmosphere and Allegro Rasputin was a good character, but the flume-ride and the pink-gag just went OTT for me. The Monkey Kombat was utterly boring (though I can see why they'd think it a good idea in theory). Unlike others, I wasn't that bothered by the Monkey Head though. I think with the huge caverns beneath it, there is always space for a robotic monkey to be down there. A little bit weird, but not terrible. Okay, maybe terrible, but the Monkey Head can still be there with an elaborate reason as to why the Monkey Robot can't work anymore. Ever again. Period.
That said, Jambalya came close for me. But I quite liked the humour they employed there. It just seemed a tad thin on the ground and, as others have mentioned, Knuttin Atol could have been brilliant if it was developed a little more.
I find it quite interesting that (apart from the obvious correlation with MI4), most of the islands people didn't like were just filler-material, or simply there as one-trick ponies.
Interesting *strokes goatee*
skull island is perfect rendition, with minimalistic motives. characters and whole smugglers cave scene is great and mysterious. it would be cool to see island again in new games
lol
The island looks sucky, but the story seems okay.
i think actually Lucre is not bad at all, and with some great characters, like stick maker for example.
as for Jambalaya, i agree for most said. i like the view from hill where Stan is, with a interesting premise of pirate island next to it, and puppeteer is not a bad character if i remember corectly
But I think Jambalaya and the Knuttin Atoll were bad to!
@Haggis
Dito! Melee was very small but I like the atmosphere. For example I like the port of Melee.
must've been an accident.
I didn't like Jambalaya that much. All islands set during the night are so damn atmospheric.
Oh, I think i made a mistake. I´m off.
I LOVED Knuttin Atoll. The only place in EMI with real pirates. Great atmosphere.
Jambalaya on the other hand... Jambalaya was a concentrate of everything I disliked about EMI.
I think my most favorite was Blood Island. It had a great dark atmosphere, a dark history, the Skull Island side trip, and it was fun.
Oh, man... can't you just see it? Jambalaya by night, totally trashed, the Planet Threepwood a fire-gutted shell....
I didn't mind the gag too much, though ofc I wasn't keen on the entire island being a joke. It would be quite funny if someone like Bill Tiller did a poster of Planet Threepwood aflame, with crazy pirates looting an' pillaging!
