Sorry for this, but I have to ask (besides, the boards would be too boring without enough topics icon_wink.gif :

I am torn between the launch titles. Which ones do you really recommend?

I'd like Rogue Leader, eye candy galore with famous battles which ensure hours of fun, but I'd rather it be 2 player, and I'm not so sure about it longevitywise...and I'm scared it'll be a tad frustrating like the last two.

I won't get Luigis, just not my kinda game.

I also love to get THPS3, great game with cool movies and 2 player, not to mention a park editor that extends the longevity x whatever...but I don't like the idea on controlling it with an analog stick, and that D-pad is a bitch. Slowdown I hear is pretty nasty also.

SMB is good, but I'm not sure it's my kinda game...

Any other recommendations would be really helpful icon_biggrin.gif

Out of the four launch titles I got... the one I'd most recommend would probably be Sonic Adventure 2: Battle or Luigi's Mansion - but then again you said you didn't want that.
I haven't played Rogue Leader. Personally, I'd give it a shot. Trust me when I say it'll be of around the same quality as the other titles, and if it's 'your kind of game', then don't hesitate to get it!

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful icon_smile.gif

Exactly, I KNOW HOW to play Crazy Taxi well, and thats why I love it so much. Also, I do enjoy CT2, but I think the Jump feature ruined the game...

I ALSO know how to play the game properly. The crazy drift, dash and the intant stopping and taking off. I know how to do it all. icon_razz.gif
But it's still not worth getting. icon_surprised.gif

Hmm...I'm slipping towards THPS3 rather than Rogue Leader. Perhaps I can get more value out of it if if I rent it.

But I already have the THPS3 demo...it's a small portion of the final game, but I've played it on the PS2...

I can't decide! PLEH!

Whatever you do, don't buy Luigis Mansion... it sucks Super Monkey Balls. Rouge Leader is my favorite of the Launch Games.

Grr... insult two of my launch titles, would you? XD You go out and see if anywhere stocks this 'Rouge Leader' you're talking about. icon_razz.gif
Sorry icon_smile.gif I'd like to play Rogue Leader. Maybe I'll go play it at a kiosk soon. Wish I'd bought it as a launch title... not enough money icon_sad.gif
