Rolando,

Much more content, and is getting updated with more levels each time.

Also, try Rolando lite first. Just to see if YOU like it.

Don't lie to people. Rolando has much LESS content. Whether it's better or not is another issue.

GOF bends rolando over a table and does unspeakable things to it.

Why do people feel the need to compare two games that have NOTHING to do with each other!? I can't tell you how many of these I've seen. Rolando and Galaxy on Fire are NOT similar, so don't try to compare them!

i agree totally - if you want to compare say rolando and rasta monkey, ill let you off (just) but why are people obsessed over comparing games from totally different genres?

please lock this thread and throw away the key

they might be different types of games but you can still give an opinion on which you prefer - which was more fun? which kept your attention longer? which has better graphics and sound?

stop being a bunch of pedants... this forum is starting to feel like its overrun with wannabe policemen

As for my pov: I was really excited about Rolando but it didn't keep my attention very long. Galaxy on Fire looks great but I'm not really into 3D fighters. My opinion would be to buy a bunch of cheaper games instead. Flight control still keeps my attention!

ok... Zen Bound vs iDracula? :D

Galaxy on Fire and Rolando are probably the LEAST similar games ever, it depends on whether you like space shooters or platformers better dude, make up your own mind.

and Galaxy on Fire is better.

this is such a stupid comparison!

I got one.... Do you like Gardening or Triathlons?

Rolando was overhyped, and GoF is pretty hard.... they both have very high production value though..

Yeah, I was foolishly exaggerating. The irony of complaining about complaining or something. ;) Anyways, forums are a place to discuss things so I'm jumping right in!

It's not gardening vs triathlons, or platformers vs space shooters, its rolando vs galaxy on fire.

I like Scrubs more than Heroes. Completely different shows but I still have a favourite. See? Comparisons are easy.

Rolando is the most iPhone-y iPhone game on the App Store. It really takes great advantage of all the input methods. Galaxy on Fire is a great game, but everyone should really own Rolando, it's a classic.

Ok. These are two completely different games. Why do people tolerate this? This is exactly why I haven't posted in the Games section in several months.

See, that comparism is wrong to.
You are comparing different genres in this case but in your comparism your comparing things in the same genre.
A better comparism would be casino royale or march of the penguins. Or wheat germ to cookies. Or a math book to tom sawyer. You can't compare them.
I say rolando. Please don't vote if you don't have both games though. Thanks

These kinds of threads wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for a dozen or so of the same people who insist on posting stupid crap in every thread they don't like instead of just hitting the back button on their browsers.

All you guys are doing is bumping the thread. Without an incessant need to post in every thread on the forum, threads like these would quickly fall off the first page and they wouldn't make any difference.

But instead we have an army of backseat moderators who insist on calling for threads to be locked, people to search, etc.

i dont mean to start a fight but you complain ALOT about reports, peopling helping YOU, ect. if you dont want us then we dont have to help you. yuthe, salsamd, and notyou never cried about reports. we are just trying to help you do you job in a more efficent way.
i am most likely getting banned now....................

Reporting a thread is fine, posting that something needs to be locked, calling someone a newb and telling them to search, and other things which don't contribute to the discussion is what I'd like to see less of.

If you don't like a thread, hit your back button. If the thread is breaking the rules and you feel like reporting it, report it then hit your back button. I've seen way too many otherwise decent threads lately railroaded in to off topic bandwagon discussions about how something is posted in the wrong forum and how they should have searched.

When you think of it, we're more idiotic than the OP. Because we're actually responding to the thread. And no, that doesn't me I'm exempted for pointing this out. We all share in this moroness :D

Okay, unlike you assholes I will actually answer the question. I have both, and while rolando is more polished and awesome looking and stuff, I just prefer the shooting, flying, upgrading, etc. in GoF than the puzzles in Rolando. But I usually prefer action-y games, so that might be my opinion.

Also, you weenies think GoF is hard? Seriously people. I was stuck on mission 6 trying all the evasion strategies discussed on the forum. My friend noticed my struggling and I explained to him that I had to get the super powerful ship to half health. He asked to try, flew straight at it shooting, and won on the first try. Worked for me too. After that, I rarely had to continue. Difficulty's fine to me, so I dunno what you people are talking about.

Okeydokey sorry about that. It just bothers me that so many people get angry when someone makes a thread that is similar to another. Why should someone have to look at an old thread to get answers to a question? Maybe the apps have changed, who knows? Also, what if you have a specific question not asked on that thread? Are you supposed to post it and hope that someone stumbles upon it? It's not that big of a deal people, so stop complaining so much.
