PR2 is my favourite
I shall do my personal reasons why:
PR1:
Pros:
- Without PR1, there are no other PR games
- Head bouncing
(- Hacked version is fun for a bit)
Cons:
- The physics make me feel like I'm running through syrup or something they're so slow and unbearable imo
- Not much depth (Only 8 levels, this gets really boring after a while)
PR2:
Pros:
- Level editor expanded the game so much
- I love the simplistic but iconic (imo) artstyle
- Plain Nostalgia, this game was amazing to play with friends in 2009 and those good memories will stay a long time
- I've loved this game for a decade, it's gotta be amazing
- Glitchy but that makes the game more fun, adds skill (plus since most people know about them, the levels are built with them in mind)
- Different modes added over time
- Physics are actually amazing, so fast+fluid yet controllable
- So many user generated levels and so many great ones, as PR2 was extremely popular when it came out
- So many fun hats to use and so many sets to customise with
Cons:
- Not all good things last forever
low player count now (although this isn't PR2's fault, rather just an inevitable decline)
- Literally everyone plays traps and I'm bad at them lol I'm salty (I just wanna make the cons look more balanced lol)
- VoM is on kong and I ain't giving kong my card info lol. (although there's nothing game breaking in VoM which is good, so I'm not in any way saying it should be changed)
- Although gained from a good cause, cowboy is OP AF, so everyone uses hat removers anyway and these are a pain to make and essentially remove the fun and unique aspects of hats from the game
- Level Editor is kinda basic
- My God it's so hard to hit anyone with a laser or sword because delay
- Flash
PR3:
Pros:
- Amazing level editor. Customisable blocks (I loved the blocks as you could make your own and keep them, plus you could make blocks do different things from each side and even customise things like how often a move block moves
- Dynamic levels. The best memory I have of playing PR3 was this really fun level where there was this moving lava coming from the left like a volcano erupted and you had to run to the right to survive
- Cool modes. PR3 did it before PR2 I'm pretty sure that's where PR2 got the idea from. I loved the coin levels where you'd do mini challenges in the level and be rewarded if you beat them (I think people called them Casino levels)
- More potential. I think if PR3 wasn't on the site it was (and if it had PR2 physics) it'd've been very popular
- Solo campaign challenges were cool and do seem more fitting for getting parts/hats
- 8P races
- More hats + tougher to get them (although I never got them since it was way harder to get them than in PR2, but that's a good thing imo)
Cons:
- THEY GOT RID OF NOODLE TOWN AS THE MAIN SONG HOW COULD THEY!
- Lagworkz and their holding hostage of PR3
- Back to the God awful PR1-esque physics, this is honestly the main reason it was unbearable for me, coupled with Lagworkz
- Camera is really zoomed in for some reason which is really offputting when you'v been playing PR2 for years, it's like you've suddenly gotten tunnel vision
- Got rid of the artstyle that was awesome (and idk why, this is really dumb, but the cranberry head freaked me out and gave me nightmares lol so I stopped playing for a bit until it didn't freak me out any more, so don't you think you can spook me now!
)
- Although custom blocks are awesome, but sometimes I'd wonder what a block did and wouldn't know till I hit it
- Lack of popularity from the offset was bad, if I stumbled across PR2 today I'd've never given it a second thought. Heck I quit PR2 in 2015 because of the lack of popularity and the death of JV1, I came back in 2019 because it was still there and I loved it and there was JV2 and the discord
[If/when] PR4 [were to/does] come out there's a lot it could take from PR3
I just want the PR2 physics and noodle town please
