What genres are done better in 2-D than 3-D?

I say fighters and platformers.rockguy92

Fighters.

BK>2D

Sports games. Tecmo Super Bowl is still the best ever.

I think any 2D game can be great in 3D, if done properly. Like platformers, for example.Solid_Snake1221

Agreed. SM64 and SMG are just as good as SMB, SMB3, and SMW were for me.

Not a genre, but Metroid by far.ANeuralPathway

Fighters pretty much, and SOME platformers.

yeah i hate 3d fighters for the most part. The only ones i liked really were virtua fighter 1 and 2 back in the day, and Soul Calibur, other wise i dont like them at all

Fighters without a doubt.

Platformers can go either way. They're pretty even IMO, Mario has been terrific in both 2D and 3D.

Sidescrolling.

Flight and racing simulators.

Also, third person shooters.

Fighters. And please keep Sonic the Hedgehog in 2D. His 2D stuff is great, but they really haven't got Sonic figured out in 3D. The Dreamcast version was OK but I prefer 2D Sonic.godzillavskong

I totally missed the 2D Sonic, the formula for the 3D one just isn't working for me. As for genre it easily goes to fighting, think Mortal Kombat if you will.;)

Fighters, Mortal Kombat.

Speaking of which, which console has the best MK3?

For me it's the arcade, I play much better with a stick than a pad and umk3 is better than mk3.;)

Edit - I mean mk3 not mk.:P

I like MK2 better than mk3 and umk3 :(

yeah games that come to mind is castlevania and sonic

i see a lot of people saying mortal kombat, but the 3d mortal kombats like deadly alliance and deception were pretty good, I enjoyed them atleast.

I know the Arcade was good, but which console has the best version. I know the 360 has it, but is their another? PS2, or Saturn or something?

That's perfectly fine, some people just didn't like the added run feature in 3 or let alone the combos system. For me mk2 is for fun while mk3 is for competitive play. The 3D ones are good but to me the combat feel sluggish which was totally different from the 2D kombat which is why so many people dislike MKDA and Deception.

the best versions are the arcade, the 360 and the DS versions, those are the only arcade quality ones correct me if im wrong.

Oh sorry about that. I would say the 360 because it a perfect port of the arcade one. I haven't played the PS2 version so I don't know if it's the arcade one or not. The DS also have the arcade port but that one isn't really used for competitive play. If you like noob and rain then I say the non-arcade ones(Saturn,Gensis,SNES) are better.

i competitive play the DS one, well since i dont have a 360 lol. 360 probably has a better online system but the DS isnt too bad. IDK about the ps2 version i think its an arcade quality port as well but no online. the PS3 has MK2 which is one reason i want a ps3 :(

lol yeah. i keep it simple, either scorpion sub zero classic or reptile, i need to check out reg sub zero cause im missing out he has some pro moves

Honestly, there aren't many things in which I liked 2d better.

I mean, it's fun, but I'll take Ratchet > Any 2d platformer and Tekken 2/3/4 over any 2d fighter.

And shooter? seriously? Except some light gun games and like Rushin attack for NES, I dont remember alot of good 2d shooters.

None. I even think platformers are much better in 3D. Much more immersive.

Also why do people say 2D fighters > 3D fighters? Regardless of wether it's 2D or 3D,it's still the exact same gameplay. The only thing 3D changes is it makes it look a bit better.

I agree.

that's easy: platformers and fighters.

Idk, the Powerstone franchise could not be done nearly as well in 2d.

ChiSoxBombers

I know.

platformers...even tho ratchet and clank was done perfectly IMO.

i just loved the old mario, sonic, and contra games. too amazing.

That's what I said isn't it? That 3D is better?

Or did you mean to say 3D....
