Well, both are Noise Factory products, both are fighters, both most recetn release and all.

I think the match is pretty reasonalbe, thus I ask: which one you prefere?

I have to say I totally stick with Matrimelee.

Both game are just avarage, but while RotD fail in having any real appeal to me, just resulting medriocre by any point of view, Matrimelee achieve a nice level of style and attitude in both character design and music.

Also, I would say Matrimelee graphical level is overall highest to RotD, some sprites of which are really bad not only as far as animation, but in term of sprite design as well.

Thus I find RotD way way more boring than Matrimelee. Just after few plays, RotD seems to result in a mere buttons patterns and most of the roster cast turns as well to be frankly lame. On the other hand, I think Matrimelee offer more variety and fancy gameplay, with lots of 'spicy' stuff, thus I find it more entertaining.

What's your opinion?

Matrimelee.

ROTD was just plane boring. I hated it.

Matrimelee has a very cool fighting system that makes it fun, and the back grounds are all pretty cool, and the soundtrack is completely good.

And anyway, my favorite ROTD characters are in Matrimelee so I get the best of both I suppose :D

I like RotD, but Matrimelee wins out in every way. Great music, better gfx, more varied gameplay, and great characters... it might not be the best fighter ever, but it is just good plain old fashined fun.

I haven't tried ROTD but Matrimelee I hate with a passion. I didn't like it at all. I'm so glad I got to try it out before deciding to buy it.

Matrimelee rocks and I freaking love the soundtrack!!! ROTD was fun for like one day, but after a week of playing it, it got boring real fast! The game engine is mediocre at best with an aweful soundtrack. Matrimelee is just fun to play and very fun to watch. I never played a power instinct game before but it makes me want to go out and find the other PI games and play them (maybe add them to my colection :) ). I just can't wait for the price come come down by half....... drool_2
