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... that is my opinion on the matter
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.
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 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.
