Fzero GX vs. Soul Calibur 2

[Drewbacca]

I voted for Soul Caliber 2 because I enjoy fighting more then flying down tracks. Quite simple.

[Superstition]

Both. So I'm note voting.

I've purchased both on their release day, and they've had equal playing time. Hell, even my friends coming over to play have a hard time deciding which one gets popped into my GC.

Um...one's a racing game and one's a fighting game. I don't see the comparison.

Soul Calibur 2 is lots of fun but every time I play it feels like I'm playing a port of what I was playing Christmas 99'.

I suggest learning the move lists, it'll go a long way to help alleviate that.

Bahn: I agree it's apples and oranges, but 50 bucks is 50 bucks and how often do Nintendo consoles get 2 games like this on the same day?

If it means you wouldn't post drivel like this thread, I hope never again. Next up: Is PGR better then Intelligent Cube?

I guess you can't really rate them comparitively. You can only say which one you personally enjoy more.

But the question is which one would you take if you had to choose. I'd choose Soul Caliber 2.

If its a question of one game over another it would be incredibly tough for me to choose. I also bought them both when they came out and I've been playing F-Zero GX a bit more due to it being more challenging and me coming back for more. I didn't have much expectations for it, just going by the nice screens and all but it turned out to be a fun as hell racer. For me, I still think Waverace Blue Storm tops it because the techniques are more advanced and for other reasons. That may change with further F-Zero play though.

On one hand I've been anticipating SC2 for a good while now so I would have bought that first especially after pre-ordering it for the art book/litho.

On the other, replay wise after playing it, F-Zero is the winner because of all the cool unlockable stuff in there along with the difficulty and the multi.

[Rumpy]

It's the best having both. When you get tired of one, you pop in another high quality (but different genre) game. My Cube hasn't seen this much action in a long time.

I would say that F-Zero GX is definitely the better racing game, but Soul Calibur 2 has the edge when it comes to fighting.

You mean in respect to their genre's or were you being a fresh young man again?

The problem here is balance. After all, no one in SC2 can outrun the Ta-Ta girls (Taki and Talim), while the limited movelists in F-Zero GX are all sorts of wack.
