Download vs. Download 2

[Obfuscate]

I just finally played through Download 2 and am trying to figure out which one I like better. Overall I think the graphics, music, and bosses slightly better in Download 2. I also like cycling through the different weapons during the stages in Download 2. The first Download is more difficult, faster action and I like the life bar system. Both are fun games worth a play especially for shooter fans.

I own neither and have thus not played either one enough to make an informed opinion, so I voted for VolfieV.

I hate shooters but I have to give this game a go. Is that a hover motorcycle?

ah well I did have a completed play through of the first game on youtube before someone at sega banned it..  1st one has some great graphics effects.  Main complaint is the sound FX which are really loud and grating.. still cool game with awesome cut scenes.. Does look like matrix stole some of those scenes and story btw..

I love both of these games but I'd haveto go with the first one for the best. The music is so awesome, it has the perfect difficulty scale, and the graphical effects are really awesome for a hu card. And lets not forget... The awesome game over screens.
 The second one is a little sloppier and the music is forgettable. The best part about 2 though is the final boss, the hitler skull crab with the flying babies.

Something to do with shining force 3 videos all over YouTube and how it infringed copyright. And I had some clips of shining force 3 on my yt account

Both great games, though the sequel has some lackluster moments (I want more intensity).

I disagree about music being forgettable for Download 2 (it's good!) I don't know if I'd put chiptunes from Download 1 above the RAW METAL of Download 2:

I recommend them both!

There was one stage that had great music.  I think it was the stage with loads of orange layered scrolling .  And a Venus boss?  Plus iirc one of the few early games that had almost male nudity in the intro..

The first game is definitely better.  The second one has some cool stage concepts and backgrounds, but it's way too easy!  And it's actually shorter, gameplay-wise, than the first game, by a few minutes, which is disappointing given the move from card to CD.  The first game's really good, probably one of the better HuCard shmups, but the second... it's only good, I think.  And way too short due to the low difficulty level.  Some options, difficulty level choices, etc. would have been great...
