How is it that such a ridiculously oversexualised and adolescent design as Lara Croft beat someone like Chun Li for the second spot?



Well, you're looking purely at appearance. It's not "Top 10 best video game character designs."
And Lara is, definitely one of the most iconic faces in Video Games. You'd have to be pretty deprived to see Lara Croft and not recognize her. In those terms, I'd say she deserves the #1 spot.



I fail to see how iconic status gives such a lame character the number one spot.

(Paris Hilton is more recognized then Sidney Poitier, but that doesn’t make her a better actor)



I think Chun should have placed higher then Croft because she was a better rounded character and innovative for her time. Not because I only consider the external appeal of a character.

Have you played Tomb Raider games? Because Lara croft is actually a really good character. Well, at least in the newer TR games.

But either way, the reason she placed higher than Chun Li is simply because of familiarity. Lara Croft is a much more recognized character. And frankly, Chun Li isn't all that. I'd place Sonya above Chun Li.

I think Samus got first place because of how long she's been around in the gaming world.

Just different strokes I suppose.

Yeah, I agree that Samus was pretty much a given do to her age.
