DS and PSP fanboys can never agree about which Q? Entertainment puzzler is the best. PSP owners love
Lumines' stylish looks, kickin' music, and mellow gameplay. DS owners love
Meteos' wi-fi multiplayer, intuitive touch screen controls, and hectic gameplay. Now, the DS and PSP Mizuguchi fans will be able to argue about the same game:
Gunpey. The two handhelds take two very different approaches to the game, and
according to 1UP, the DS gets the better version:
The PSP version is the purest taste of Gunpey you're likely to receive anywhere. The skin collecting is addictive, and as long as you don't mind the brutal, linear, hours-long grind needed to collect them all, then this is probably the version most older gamers will go for. But if you're looking for a more full-featured game, with greater variety -- and don't mind the cartoony milieu of Gunpey DS -- then you will find this version not only a superior value, but a superior game.
Although the DS version is more cartoony (and looks like
it's for kids), it features one important feature the PSP version lacks: game sharing. I loved playing
Meteos multiplayer with just one cartridge, and it's a shame that most PSP games don't seem to take advantage of this incredible feature. It's sad to think that maybe the PSP version would've outclassed the DS version if it bothered to include game sharing.
Gunpey comes out
November 14th.

Well, the DS version sounds like the better game, so I believe I shall be picking that one up over the PSP version.

ooooooooooooooooh game sharing. Meh.
Those graphics are awful and childish. Unless touch controls make that much of a difference, then its the PSP version for me any day.
