I just don't know which one. I'm stuck between 3 choices right now.
Mobile Suit Saga: A New Dawn Fight Night: Round 3 Dragon Quest 8
I'm just not good at making decisions >_>...any suggestions?

Only game I've played that you listed is fight night: round 3. I dont have an xbox360 so i fought a bout while at compusa today. I'm a hardcore fight night fan. The graphics are amazing and the AI and flow is much better but the game just seemed so slow and unresponsive. At the very least it would take some getting used. Heck i was getting beat(even got knocked down in the 4th) until the 6th round when i started to get used to it and came back to get a knockdown and then a KO in the 7th. It was a good fight.
Also it was so amazing how i actually saw and heard the other fighters nose break during the knockdown in the 6th. It was awesome.

When I was younger I used to love playing the old Dragon Warrior games, they changed the name to Dragon Quest around number 6 I think.

I own Dragon Quest 8 and it's REALLY BORING... I mean, if you like classic RPGs I guess it would be cool but there's just not enough innovation. It's like a SNES RPG without the fun of the SNES because the graphics are all updated and there's shitty voice acting. If you can play through a classic style RPG it could be good, but really nothing new.
Fight Night is always great with friends over so I might go for it and I've never heard of this Mobile Suit game (I don't like mech games much). The best PS2 game I played lately was Resident Evil 4.

Do you have only one system you are considering buying for? If you're looking at PC and you like Adventure/RPG I strongly suggest Gothic II Gold edition. It should be only about $20 now and it is the best! Check out these screenshots for Gothic 3, which should be out around the middle of this year: http://xardas.sohosted.com/10HQ.jpg http://worldofgothic.de/screenshots/gothic3/g3-33.jpg http://worldofgothic.de/screenshots/gothic3/gc05_05.jpg http://worldofgothic.de/screenshots/gothic3/pcgames_02.jpg
If you want to try Dragon Quest 8 you can sign up for a free demo cd on Square-Enix's webpage. They'll send it to you free.

Did you think it was really sluggish and almost unresponsive? It felt like there was a second lag between doing the punch movement on the joystick to when the boxer threw it.
And is Tyson in the game? Nigga needs to let himself be used in a game of this calibur without trying to rape them for money.

ya theres lag but theres lag in real life too in boxing so you just gotta compensate for it...
i wouldnt say unresponsive because then they wouldnt move at all... once you get good it doesnt feel like that at all..

That's the next game I'm buying. Unless there really is a new Ninja Gaiden coming out like one of my friends told me.

Well, I made it to Gamespot at 5:50-something...they close at 6:00, I guess, and they didn't wanna let me in ;_;. At least I have another day off tomorrow, so I'll just get it early in the morning.

I was only considering Dragon Ques since a friend of mine has been on about how awesome it is...and I've always been a fan of Square RPGs. Besides, I've been looking for a new RPG to play.
And, actually, MS Saga isn't technically a mech game. It's turn based RPG.

The lag to me seems quite significant and not something made to mimic real life. And as someone who trains in muay thai i dont think there is much "lag." I've done a little boxing too and never noticed any "lag."
I didn't say one couldnt get used to it. I got used to it to be good in 5 rounds, I'd imgaine in a day i wouldnt even notice it anymore. That wasent my point. Also I bet if you got used to lag and then played round 2 it would feel very wierd. And also i never played round 2 on the xbox so I'm just assuming the gameplay is exactly like it is on the ps2.
It was still great though, im not basing it. Heck, i wish i coulda stayed in that store all day, trust me.
