Topic: Sports Champions Gladiator Vs The Fight

I do like both, but for me, Gladiator feels more satisfying and more tactical.

The Fight follows my every move which is great- pure 1:1.  BUT, even with constant training and building up stats, my fighter still punches like he's had too much to drink.  I'm putting my full strength and speed into my punches, and he punches like he just can't be bothered, and therefore when he connects, it doesn't actually look like he's doing much damage.  I only win because I have trained my fighter enough to build up his stats and he is very strong.  I just don't find it particularly satisfying.

Sports Champions Gladiator duels are far more satisfying however.  Again, pure 1:1 tracking, holding my shield with one hand and my sword in the other.  Genuine tactics come into play, waiting for your opponent to attack so you can block with your shield and build up for your special moves, attacking when the time is right and in the right place- legs or head, or body when they are about to attack.  Special moves are even more satisfying, giving a real wallop.  Then you can even hit with your shield if your opponent is defending too much.  But basically, whacking your opponent in this game gives a much better resulting blow, and is a lot more fun to play, as well as adding more strategy imo.

What is everyone else's opinion?  Which do you prefer?

Hard to pick one I like more than the other.  They are both a ton of fun.  I guess if I had to I'd go with The Fight.  Once I got used to the way the game played I got really into it (and its a great workout).  Gladiator is awesome, but I just like the idea of boxing more than sword fights.

I don't have The Fight (yet), mostly because I only have 1 Move controller (and Nav controller) and finding a 2nd has eluded me thus far.  But I think my wife managed to track one down and I might get it soon.

I hope to pick up the game maybe next Christmas when I anticipate major markdowns.  Until then, my vote is for the Gladiator duel.

LOL

I think thats my main problem with The Fight- i'm just not finding it as much FUN as i should be.  Forget realism, ultimately games have to be enjoyable and satisfying.  I'm just not feeling that much with this game.  It says a lot for Gladiator Duel when that is actually only part of a game which also consists of archery etc.

I will say one good thing about The Fight- it is definitely a good work out.

I've actually traded in The Fight now.  I have so many fun games to play that I have found I never took the Fight out the case let alone play it.  Traded it for NFS Hot Pursuit and love it

I lean more on the Sports Championships Gladiator Duel myself. I just really enjoy it. The unlockable character for beating it on Gold is Awesome!

@Wastedyuthe, lipnox.... if both of you guys have NFS Hot Pursuit, send me a an invite crossed23 and go after my times. I love the game!

I haven't played The Fight yet as I don't own it, but I did want to chime in and say that Gladiator Duel in SC is a lot of fun.  I actually didn't even give it much of a try for the first few weeks, focusing mainly on Table Tennis and Disc Golf.  This weekend I decided to give GD a try again and really had a lot of fun.  It is a lot more than just waving the controller around, it really takes a lot of strategy and technique to get it right.
