Even within the conventions of the adventure game, there are so many variances, interpretations, permutations, that it's really not possible to paint them all with the same brush--that is, I think comparisons are unavoidable, but unproductive. I love exotic locales, an interesting story and a protaganist with a sense of humor, so I enjoyed the Broken Sword I and II, and the first three in the Monkey Island series. And the fact that both George and Guybrush were voiced by skilled actors put those games over the top for me. But I do think there's a game for everyone who is interested in the genre. Then again, I've played numerous games that don't live up to my expectations and found a fair amount of enjoyment in it, nonetheless. I love third person adventure unconditionally; how dull of me. Never mind.
