UD wins on gameplay and tate alone! (never seen zg1)
-Tate:Under Defeat has Tate, win
-Graphics: it's a tie. Under Defeat has prettier graphics, but a little less Japanish stylish
Zero Gunner 2 has brighter colors and more mech enemies.
-Gameplay Under Defeat wins; it has the best control scheme. Zero Gunners control scheme just plainout sucks. 360, wow, really! not cool.
Under Defeat's gamneplay is very intuitive and fast whereas with ZG2 you are swining around. Offcourse expert players might disagree.
-Music ZG2 win, although UD has better music than it is being given credit for.
I expect that zg will come out as winning in this poll though. I feel UD is being looked down upon.

Under Defeat is one of my all time favourites but Zero Gunner 2 is just a bit of fun,eh?
The only thing the two have in common is a helicopter. One is deep and beautiful whereas the other's just lots of playable Psikyo fun.
They're both excellent in their own way but so different that comparing them is a very interesting exercise.
I guess Under Defeat will win this poll hands down though :D

Only thing wrong with ZG2 is it has that whole Psikyo™ sneeze-and-you-missed-the-level thing going on.

Under Defeat PRO REVIEW by xoxac wrote:An' some feller tried to tell me that it's just a straight-up rip-off of Zero Gunner 2. This game is dyin' to be Zero Gunner 2; this game wants to be Zero Gunner 2. Except if you were to look at this game, you'd think that Zero Gunner 2 wasn't actually released at all and they were copying Zero Gunner 1...I don't know why in the hell they'd wanna do that.

...

This is a shump, not a pinball machine; don't tilt the screen!

...

Now it's no secret I hate these NAOMI graphics, I hate these 3D PLASTIC CONE TREES. Looks so artificial. You shoot the trees, they kinda shimmy back an' forth like them bullets do. Shakin' they branches...if they actually had branches; THEY JUST CONES.
To sum this up...go play Mars Matrix. :wink:

You do realize that just b/c it's on Naomi hardware doesn't make it superior, right?

Where can I vote?: both sucks!

Seriously I will never understand why UD is so praised after all, I almost fell asleep when I play it. GFX is bland and primitive too. Music is so so and not fitting at all. Hell I'm a total war game sucker, but this game does not deliver.
It must be a DC fanboy thing of some sort... :?: Does it even have a descent score system? Please enlighten me :P

Hmm, anyway Psykio>G.Rev

Great quote. I like UD, but since I got ZG2 a few months ago there's just no comparison. Hell, I don't even like Psikyo very much, and I still love ZG2! The rotating controls are just perfect and intuitive.

Wow, Zero Gunner 2 is doing much better than I expected. I didn't know you liked it, CIT. Is it your favorite Psikyo?
