Title: Super Star Soldier Vs Final Soldier - which game is better?
Post by: Otaking on October 20, 2013, 07:08:55 AM
Super Star Soldier or Final Soldier which game is better?

Super Star Soldier gets my vote, I prefer the graphics and gameplay. Final Soldier I find a little too short and too easy.

Final Soldier's soundtrack is more enjoyable to listen to than either game is to play.

Plus it comes with an entire game.

Final Soldier all the way. SSS is annoying to me, I usually stop playing it after a while while FS is fun (though a little easy) and stays interesting. Yeah I love the music too!

I enjoy both games. I have to think about it some more before I decide.

The problem: I've never played these two back-to-back, which is the fairest way to judge them.

I had to go FS.  I just enjoy it more, although to be fair I haven't completed either yet.  But I've come back to try more with FS.

Hmmmmmmm I have an itching to play FS now.

I personally was a bit dissapointed of FS, after playing SSS so much bitd. Especially the weaponry feels kinda weak and cheap compared, tho the music is superior in FS.

So for me it's SSS for most of the parts.

SSS is definitely the more challenging game.  I think similar to the last poll (MC vs Cotton) one game appeals to the hardcore shooter fans (SSS) and the other appeals to general gamers (Final Soldier).  I fall into the second group.

SSS for me. But then again, I bought SSS when I was 12. Bought FS when I was 25. So there's that

SUPER STAR SOLDIER.

I've over-played this game (since it was released), but it is superior to Final Soldier (which I've played only for a few years).


SSS for me. But then again, I bought SSS when I was 12. Bought FS when I was 25. So there's that

This is actually a valid point. I'm not even talking about "nostalgia", I'm talking about how the "freshness" of a game  ("new to you" feeling) can unfairly give an advantage to the "fresh" game...because the game you are more familiar with seems "overplayed" and "less exciting" (it offers fewer surprises).

SSS just feels more solid. That is the best and simplest way i can explain its superiority.

This versus battle isn't as close as Magical Chase and Cotton. SSS so far has double the votes of FS.

which is obviously clear, since it is the better game :idea:

FS is way too easy and graphicaly inferior to SSS. And i find it a little boring and flat, no vibes.

SSS is fantastic, 4th level is a turn,  rythme and difficulty become frenetic and don't stop rising till the hell of 8th stage. Best HuCard shooter for me.

SSS definitely gets my vote. SSS is a better game for me, better music, better graphic and generally more funner:)

I picked SSS, I had more fun playing it and I think it has better visuals and sound, I really like the sound in this game, the music that plays when your fighting the scorpion boss is awesome.

So SSS takes the crown, no chance of FS making a come back it was slaughtered.  :lol:

I waited a while to make a decision.  I played through both again this past week and I really have to go with SSS.  I love both so much it was hard to decide.  However playing back to back again SSS really is a more polished shooter.

"Super Star Soldier" is my all time favorite shooter for the system. Used to play it on my Express all the time. I tried "Final Soldier" on the MagicEngine emulator and I don't remember liking it as much. Same goes with "Soldier Blade."

Final Soldier is much more accessible for a quick jaunt but why does it have those horrible fuzzy edged graphics it really annoys me that they did this with the programming, Super star soldier is much more hectic and requires much more concentration but its better presented and has much nicer and smoother gameplay, For me its almost impossible to chose as i see them as totally different play experiences.

Both games are above average but neither are great. I picked SSS since it has a better challenge, beat that sucker for the first time ever last night!!

I can not leave my vote because I have no played any of them.
Why am I so pathetic playing shooters?

I personally would rank SSS as a "great" shooter.
