No, you don't. Really.

[4:04:50 PM] Lair of Rockwhales: I should be able to do things with my own junk EDIT: 666th post. Damn, wanted it to be my review. Need to find that vita.

I hope origamiguy doesn't mind, but I've re-uploaded the original zip of CircutEdit Beta 1 here: https://ore.rockraidersunited.org/legacy/CircuitEdit_beta1_407058.zip Yea, origami, you need to re-upload your tools to your new domain, even if you are rewriting them. ;)

I like LEGO Racers 2 more than LEGO Racers 1 for the open worlds, a soundtrack that doesn't make your ears bleed (*ducks*), the collection and minigame aspects, destructible vehicles, and improved multiplayer (Battle mode is quite fun with two people). The only thing where I think LR1 did a better job is in character and car creation, where LR2 really falls flat. The power-ups system for LR1 was cool in concept but terribly unbalanced (warps especially were WAY over-powered and easy to get), LR2 fixed that by instead giving each power-up multiple uses and assigning them pseudo-randomly, influenced by your position in the race. It's good rubber-banding that LR1 lacked, and still provides some strategy elements (firing slizer disks backwards can take out incoming homing rockets for example). And yes, while LR2 certainly had problems with cars drifting too suddenly, may I point out that cars in LR1 also oversteered quite a lot, leaving the player to tap the powerslide button in order to simply drift somewhat normally? Not to mention the weird collision glitches LR1 had, there's many places where if you ram a wall you go flying into the air. I do prefer the LEGO themes in LR1 over LR2, but both games were based on the themes that were out around the same time as they were, and the LR2 developers really had a lot less to work with. Still, Life on Mars was one of the themes that got me into LEGO in the first place, so the sheer nostalgia of it makes up for the slightly less variety, for me personally at least.

I find that equally bad good as the first, but each for their own reasons. Can we stop pointing at games and going "oh this is bad compared to this" "oh well this is bad compared to this" now? Everyone has their own opinions as to why they like one better than the other, but without giving reason, it is just pointless. At least Lair did that.

You know, the best way to really settle this is to look at the transition between the three games. You never know what's going to happen to the island or their voices. The Infomaniac doesn't, and he's about a ZILLION years old! He's so old he probably doesn't even remember who Bill Ding really is.
