Soldner-X 2: Final Prototype vs Vanquish
Soldner-X 2: Final Prototype
Soldner-X 2: Final Prototype is a long-awaited sequel of the popular classic Solder-X side-scrolling arcade-shooter series. Available only on PlayStation 3 and PSVita, Soldner-X 2: Final Prototype brings its amazing shoot-'em-up gameplay, in-depth ship customizations and type, and its iconic and dynamic difficulty system which increases the difficulty of the enemies you face based on the play rank you attain and the rank you get is in turn determined by your performance, to consoles complete with an online high scores leaderboard as well as replay file sharing. Your play rank also regulates the maximum amount of combos you can earn, making sure that players can't simply game the play rank system in order to get a higher score.The storyline in Soldner-X 2 is pretty nicely-written too. Unlike the original where you fought in the Virus Wars, this time around, you 'll be going up against a technologically superior race, the D'aarg, who took the "Earth recovery process" as an opportunity to attack its people. AS a result, Soldner-X is needed once more... and you along with it.
Soldner-X 2: Final Prototype has been pretty warmly received by both critics and fans alike, so if you love Soldner-X or any sci-fi-themed arcade shooter, you'll definitely enjoy this one.
Vanquish
Vanquish puts you into the shoes of government operative, Sam Gideon, who is part of the elite group of operatives that has their own Augmented Reaction Suit which give them superior firepower, superhuman speed and agility as well as a certain amount of suave as they take down groups of hostile and deadly robots. The combat system in this game is incredibly well-made and unique. Aside from having a bullet time system, it also provides players with a smooth gameplay, be it when they are performing kinetic melee moves or when they are trading gunfire with the robots.However, many players have mentioned about the flaw when it comes to weapon upgrades in this game. Unlike most games, you actually have to be equipping the correct gun type in order to pick up the upgrade cube, which randomly appears. It does provide players with the incentive to keep replaying the game but it can be pretty frustrating if you had to give up picking up a hard-earned cube because you don't have the weapon you need.
Besides this downside though, Vanquish is among the top-most third-person shooters that have excellent, well-designed mechanics. If you enjoy smooth combat and a cool and somewhat Halo-like suit, then this is definitely the game for you!
