edit- HEY YOU CHANGED TOPICS!!!!


oh well, the following is all about Prehistoric Isle 2.....

i bought this game off KennyBoy a few weeks back. its a decent shooter that goes by really fast. There really isnt too much strategy to it; no real gameplay twists. The rescue aspect, wherein you swoop down and grab people, or defend people escaping into helicopters, is neither challenging...or fun lol.

the graphics are...interesting. At first, they seem awkward, but you get used to them and after a few plays through even start to respect them. boss fights are the most fun aspect, with the last boss being completely ridiculous, but very cool.

On the hardest difficult level, its a challenge, but once oyu get the game down, youll blow through it. I would definitely play it before you bought it.

I didnt...and im not un happy or anything,in fact I like the game. I just have a feeling others may not.

peace

The first one is better. More (and better) characters, (Big Mama rules!) Better level design (there are more branching paths, etc.) and better graphics.

Shock Troopers 2nd Squad has it's moments and is cool in it's own way, but SHOCK TROOPERS blows away part II no questions asked!

Shock Troopers is better in every respect :

You cant even compare them because they are so different its like comparing Mario Brothers to Donkey Kong Country .


Shock Troopers has hand drawn sprites while Shock Troopers 2 has pre-rendered graphics .

The character animation in Shock Troopers is much better including the way that your enemies die ((holding their recently dismembered stump with blood spraying out ! )) on the other hand when you kill the enemies in Shock Troopers 2 they just shudder with a annoying repetitive gasping voice

Example :
kill a enemy in the original ST and youll hear
"Yeargh!" or "aagghh"

Kill a enemy in ST2nd Squad and you just hear a repeating voice :
"uh,uh,uh,uh,uh,uh,uh,uh," and this goes for every enemy the voice pitch is just changed slightly .

In the original Shock Troopers you can choose from 8 characters .

In Shock Troopers 2nd Squad you can only choose from 4 .

The original Shock Troopers has many diffrent kind of levels ((Motorcycle , Mountainclimbing ,rope hanging etc .))

In Shock Troopers 2nd Squad all the levels are the same way but with the exception of a vehicle every now and then . (( but they suck and blow up quick ))

These are just some of the dominant differences . the list goes on .

Shock Troopers kicks ass

Shock Troopers 2nd Squad ...... ok but not a worthy sequel .

Again??

Well.....MERCS is better than both titles......

No contest here...

Shock Troopers is WAY better than 2nd...

Ummm...Well.
Take a look at my avatar and then just guess OK.

the first Shock Troopers is one of the finest 2D shoot em ups of all time, the second just sucks, its sad but true. it looks bad, it plays bad, it lacks all the originiality of the first game and the characters ain't half as good. I was very dissapointed in ST2

1

definately shocktroopers 1

shocktroopers 2 is quite a poor game

I've got both (MVS version) and I'm going to trade 2 for another game and keep 1. Yes, you guessed right, 1 is much better, 2 is not worth having it if you have 1 (that is harder and more expensive to find) unless you are a die-hard fan and want both. But if it's only one of them take 1 and forget 2.
And for the record, Mercs is much better than 2 too...

as everyone's said, Shock Troopers 1 is way, way, way, WAY better than 2nd Squad. although I do still enjoy 2nd Squad, it's not in the same galaxy as part 1.

And BTW, MERCS is inferior to both of them. Get a life, Liquid Troll.

# 1 with out a doubt ! # 2 felt like crap and im not much for the big headed people look in games, which they seemed to go over board with in #2.

For the record I prefer HEAVY BARREL and TOP GUNNER to MERCS and SHOCK TROOPERS any day.
