Which should I get, if any? Just played Rolando 2 lite version and I loved it, but is Rolando 1 better? Also, how much playtime for each? Thank you!

hated the first one, spent 10 bucks on it too... never even considered the second one...

Didn't like Rolando 1, but really liked the Rolando 2 lite version.

I have both games, beat both of them, and while I highly recommend both, Rolando 2 is definitely the better game.
It improves on everything from the original, and continues to be my favorite iPhone game to date.

I don't think you can even compare the two games. Rolando 1 was one of the first games to hit the App Store. Rolando 2 was released about a year later. Of course Rolando 2 would be better.

They're both great! Second one is 3D, that's the only major difference, there's a lite for each

I agree totally with Cooper464!

Just one correction: I have heard from Tocarina that rolando 2 is in 2.5 D, so a mixture of 2 and 3D but that doesn't really matter. I bought the second one and also tested teh first one.

I was almost a bit overwhelmed by all of the stuff in 2, I kinda prefer 1 weirdly enough.

I enjoyed both Rolando 1 and 2. Rolando 1 is more difficult, but still not too hard. Rolando 2 has more play modes (underwater, riding in a cart, etc.). If I had to choose, I'd pick Rolando 2.

1 all the way. More fun game elements, much higher difficulty, and they actually finished releasing all the bonus levels that were promised for R2 as well but about which 8 months later I think we can forget.

More than 2000 cheat/fake entries in the plus+ listings have ruined things a bit, but that may be the case for R2 as well - not sure, it's not on my iPhone anymore. R1 also has the added benefit of totally saving your progress between installs!

I thought this was weird that R1 saved your progress while R2 did not. Was there a reason for this? In any case, I thought R2 was more polished than R1, but R1 for me had longer replay value because of the bonus levels. R2 was a bit simpler than R1, though - so it serves strangely enough as a better intro to the game in some ways.

The first one is better.
