An example in movie form: Dark Knight > Iron Man. Dark Knight is the better movie as far as directing and quality... but damn, I'd throw in Iron Man in the player at least x2 more for watchability. It was more fun.
SF2 had more polish and was incredibly fun to play, but Mortal Kombat just had that certain appeal that kept me playing. Replace SF2 with Doom 2 and Mortal Kombat with Duke Nukem and that's how my PC gaming days went back then too."
As for Sonic 4, well, I really liked it... once I got used to the jumping mechanics again. It gave me those happy nostalgic feelings that come with pulling an old system out of storage and popping in that favorite game. Sure, it may not be exactly how you remember it, but it's still fun. Sonic 4 had enough new things to make it feel somewhat fresh.
I really hope they have a few big non-throwback surprises in the further episodes. The torch lighting and the new "card playing" mechanics were fun, but there needs to be more. Surprisingly, I still have hope and a shit to give about the next episodes."
I know there's a war. This game seems to be telling some stories from it.
My question, is there really difference between playing a war game where your brother is currently fighting compared to one that your Grandpa fought in?&nbs"

This is a sequel, not a 3rd in a series like Emerald or Pearl. Why not, I dunno, start catching them all again, now, since Black and White may happen to have some story elements to make Black 2 and White 2 make more sense. "
