Nway, this is a place where I get to know your (SR members and hardkore gamerz) opinions on every game that you think is better. Just for fun, and so I can pick which game I wanna buy when I have two games on mind, or probably even more. Butt hey! This can even help U to!

Anyway, which game is better:

--The Getaway or Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

--Star Wars Bounty Hunter or The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers (EA)

--TimeSplitters 2 or James Bond Nightfire

--Minority Report or Tomb Raider in Angel Of Darkness

--Tony Hawks Pro Skater 4 or BMX XXX

--Harry Potter In The Chamber Of Secrets or Spyro: Enter The Dragonfly

--Ratchet & Clank or Haven: Call Of The King

Cos I really wanna buy sum new games, and I need to know which is better the other, even though they dont have the same genre thingy, or whatever y'all call it...!

Don't know, and to be honest, don't really care at all about either.


--Tony Hawks Pro Skater 4 or BMX XXX

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4.


--Harry Potter In The Chamber Of Secrets or Spyro: Enter The Dragonfly

Don't know, and yet again, couldn't really give.


--Ratchet & Clank or Haven: Call Of The King

Never played either, but from what I know, Ratchet & Clank.

--The Getaway or Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

Well Vice is an excellent game and I only just received the getaway as an xmas present but haven't played it as yet.

--Harry Potter In The Chamber Of Secrets or Spyro: Enter The
Dragonfly

Ive got the Harry Potter game and it is a vast improvement on it's predessor, it's also been likend to Zelda, because of it's similarity in gameplay. I for one was impressed.

--Ratchet & Clank or Haven: Call Of The King

Ratchet and Clank is probabaly the best platformer on the PS 2 at the moment, in my mind it has taken over J&D and its a must.

This is a close one, probably The Getaway, althiugh both games are great, The Getaway has a better story mode, but Vice has more to do.

>
> --Star Wars Bounty Hunter or The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers

I haven't really heard much about these two games, but The Lord Of The Rings: Two Towers is better, maybe.


>
> --TimeSplitters 2 or James Bond Nightfire

As i have both, this is a non - biased decision:

Timesplitters 2 is more fun, however it is hard to compare these two games, as they are very different in some ways.

>

Easy; Angel Of Darkness, Minority Report is just another one of those half as$ed games which was a film.

>

Again easy, Tony Hawks, stick with the experts, each Tony hawk game has had a respctable review, whereas BMX XXX is a newbie to the gaming world, that doesn't mean it's bad, but THPS4 is far more reliable.

Probably Spyro, Harry Potter has been given a crap name after the dissapointing Philosophers Stone.

Not sure, both good games.

Read some reviews, rent a few games, borrow some of a mate, you get the idea.

Now that makes more sense.

I prefer The Getaway. I feel it's a better game, but there has been a varied reaction towards it and Vice City, so really it's a choice you'd have to decide yourself. You're best bet is to get both and see which one you prefer.

> --Star Wars Bounty Hunter or The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers
> (EA)

The Two Towers is fun, a bit short but then Bounty Hunter hasn't been getting much praise, so I guess it boils down to which you find more appealing, Quality over Quantity or visa versa.

> --TimeSplitters 2 or James Bond Nightfire

Timesplitters 2 can't really compare to something like James Bond. It has a great multiplayer mode, which is very extensive, a much more improved (if a little shorter) single player section and an easy to use map editor for both single and multiplayer maps.

> --Minority Report or Tomb Raider in Angel Of Darkness

I dislike Tomb Raider, but I'd choose that over Minority Report which from the reviews I've read, is yet another duff movie to game conversion.

> --Tony Hawks Pro Skater 4 or BMX XXX

THPS4, because BMX XXX is just crap. Haven't played it, but it's so obvious the developers have thrown a load of nudity and 'gross out' gags to sell the game to adolescent teens. And when has that ever worked well in a game?

> --Harry Potter In The Chamber Of Secrets or Spyro: Enter The
> Dragonfly

Harry Potter. I wouldn't choose either, but Spyro does look disappointing, I mean it actually looks like a PSone game!

> --Ratchet & Clank or Haven: Call Of The King

Ratchet & Clank, it's £20, but it's also pretty good fun. Haven looks good as well, but I think it's a bit too ambitious to be as good as it thinks it is.

If you want a serious simulation go for Colin McRae 3, if its a more fun kind of arcadey approach that you prefer, then go for WRC2.

Personally I prefer Colin McRae because of the handling. WRC2 is very twitchy but it's each man to his own I guess. (I dont know if that makes scense, it just sounds good)
