Comparing Line Rider on DS and Wii
With two different versions releasing soon, as well as the original PC game, Line Rider is one popular title right about now. Having checked out screens, trailers, and even interviews with the creator, you can bet we're excited for the game. But, which version should we go with?InXile Entertainment, the folks who're publishing the game, would have us believe both the DS and Wii version are essential to our survival on this planet, but we know better. According to Siliconera, each installment has its own features to lure you in.For one, the DS game has the incredibly intuitive and easy-to-use touch-screen, which switches between drawing controls and playing controls on the fly, where the Wii version situates any menu buttons it has in the corners of the screen. Also, the Wii version will feature Wi-Fi support, whereas the DS installment doesn't look like it does. The DS title is pretty portable (natch), while the Wii version is not (sure, you can lug the game and case around, but you can't play it).What about you all? DS version? Wii version? Couldn't care less about either version?%Gallery-21530%
Line Rider 2 draws up more screens
IGN has a bunch of new screens up for Line Rider 2: Unbound, including some basic shots of the game's playback editor.It's clear that the site has also had some hands-on time with the game -- we know this because an IGN bod has scrawled out the letters "IGN" for their rider to coast along. Predictable, yes, but it's more original than the anatomically wonky genitalia that most of you us will draw upon first getting the title. As we saw in recent footage, Line Rider 2 looks like it will be sticking to the original Flash game fairly faithfully, so it's only reasonable to assume that we'll be experimenting with the same childish drawings in the DS version.Sketch out a line and slide past the break for more shots.%Gallery-21530%
Riding lines on the DS is pretty much what you'd expect
If you thought you precious Line Rider experience was in jeopardy of being altered or changed in some way, perhaps turning into something else entirely on the DS, then let those fears disappear. As you can see from the video above, Line Rider 2: Unbound very much looks and plays like Line Rider should. We don't have to tell you how great that makes us feel!Any of you excited for this one?%Gallery-21530%[Via Go Nintendo]
