I'm always on the fence on: deer hunter 3d (how long is it?) assassins creed (waiting for the inevitable .99 price drop from gameloft) monopoly (I've heard the computer cheats) need for speed (how long is it? And do u actually need to steer-cuz in asphalt u didn't. I'm worked about that) the sims 3 (expensive...) I was on th fence before and ended up buying: tiger woods Rolando lux dlx
Well, as with Rolando, my opinion is stripped down to the bare bones of game play, graphical splendour aside. So with that said, ZenBound is boring! Anymore on your list, whilst I'm here. I will give you my honest opinion for what it's worth (if I have it)
One of the bigger ones I can think of is definitely Rolando. I might get Rolando 2 just cause it will have the Plus+ integrated in it, plus the lite version of 1 was pretty cool, but Im with you. I dunno if I will get the first one yet only cause 2 is coming out today. If I like the second one enough I'll get the first one too maybe. Zenonia is awesome. I have several games on all consoles and this one is one that finds an hour or 2 every couple of days for me. It's very long, which is awesome, though I dont get to commit as much time as I want with it. I've wanted to get Real Racing, but I bought Need For Speed Undercover, and I still havn't beat that. I think I am at least going to beat that first before I do, IF I do. F.A.S.T. seems cool, but I dunno. I am just not sure If I really want it or not. I am not a huge fan of those kind of games, though it does sound cool on the iPod and has recieved a ton of praise from what i understand. I dunno about Sim City. I bought it back when it was $10 only cause I loved the old Sim City games, but I must say, that the iPod isn't the best platform for it. It's ok, but like someone said above, I could never get a hold of control over transportation problems and water line issues. Things that normally wern't an issue on any other system just seemed to be underlined in this one. If you are a big enough fan, and at the price it's at, I guess it could be worth it to some. But as big of a fan as I was of the games, I found this one a little less desireable unfortunately.
Real Racing at the moment. If A.D.D. or Rolando 2 doesn't come out soon I'll probably end up buying it. I really enjoyed Need For Speed, but I'm not sure if I'll like the "racing sim" style gameplay that Real Racing has.
It isn't really as Simy as I imagined it would be. No clutch or gear changes. And you can adapt the controls to suit you. I think in fact that the auto gas and tilt to steer in NFS is an option in RR, plus 3 others. I have narrowed it down to press for gas and brake, tilt to steer and I have taken off the brake assist altogether, but it is adjustable. So, control wise there is not such a difference. The bigger difference is that there is no 'story'. Just you in a car racing other people in cars, and working your way through all the leagues and so forth. But, as the title suggests, it does feel very real (especially if you choose the cockpit view) and that's what I like about it very much.
HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT!!!! thats a insult to POKEMON TRAINERS LIKE MYSELF!!!! PIKACHU THUNDERBOLT!!! PIIIIIIIKAAAAA!! LOL you spelled zenonia wrong. I thought zenonia was a good game.
i agree with the above. Its one thing to diss zenonia but to say anything bad about POKEMON is an absolute disgrace to games. That is one of the best games i have ever played
That's fine, considering that there might as well not even be a story in the NFSU one. hahaahahah weak ass sh!t but I didnt get it for a story. And yeah about comparing Zenonia to Pokemon? Both awesome types of games but... not anywhere near the same game at all. Like... not even close. They are RPG's... thats about it. lol Pokemon games for the Game Boys (I even got Platinum for the DS!) will always have a special place in my heart. I didn't care for the the cartoon, and only played the cards when I was like 9... but the GB games are in my opinion some of the best Turn-Based RPG/Adventure games ever. However all the other Pokemon games for all the other systems were pretty lame (With the expection of the mighty Pokemon Snap. That game was fekkin brilliant lol)
I like Rolando. If you're not sure, get the Lite version (which has a decent amount of levels.) If you like the Lite version get Rolando. I think Rolando has around 50 levels so it should have a good length of play, and at $6 it's a pretty good deal. Then get Rolando 2 when it drops in price. WordFu is a really good game especially at $0.99. I'd buy it before it goes up. Me, I'm not sure if I should get Real Racing and Rolando 2. I have $13 left in my account (I spent so much iTunes money on Apps in the past 6 months. If I didn't have an iPod touch I'd have about $200-250 right now.) I can only get one or the other. I might wait for both to drop in price and I can get both, or should I get Rolando 2 now (I want Rolando 2 more and a price drop is going to be further off for Rolando 2 compared to Real Racing, especially with all the racing games dropping the price) and buy more iTunes when Real Racing drops the price?
Upgrading to OS3.0 lost me every saved game I had (backups were corrupt.. no self-checking there by iTunes. Not clever.) but I have loving doing Zen Bound again. If ZB2 came out and had dlc I'd be there for each installment. Which is not to say I'm a fanboy of it, but that for me the experience is not far off perfect and it is something I could not play elsewhere. There's a lite version - give it a go
S.I.D. You will like Word Fu if you like word spelling games. I like "setting" the word with a shake, and having the ninja voice cry out. Best when played wearing solid black, and hidden in a strategic location...
Star Defense due to price combined with the many mixed reviews. If the reviews were more consistently positive, I would be much more incined to buy.
I wouldn't get Lux. There's a PC/Mac version that's better, with real multiplayer. And Monopoly definitely cheats. Considering the only person I ever played Monopoly with in real life (my brother) cheated too makes me feel right at home, but I wouldn't recommend it. I'll always throw Uniwar in for having the best strategy game multiplayer experience (at the moment, that is, it's far from perfect but it's still pretty great) and Zombieville USA for being one of the best super-casual shooters as well as some of the most charming cartoon art.
Assassins Creed is pretty much the only one I have my eye on right now, with a few others like Quantum Collapse and Beatrider. Going to try to make the most of the games I have right now, then look into them in the future. I don't think Gameloft is going to be doing any crazy $1 sales anytime soon.
I was on the fence about buying Zen Bound. I bought it and hated it. I was on the fence about buying Real Racing. I bought it and loved it.
