I used to prefer 3 to 2, but after revisiting 2 I like that one more. 3 does have more depth, weapons, etc. The attempt to have a digitized this- and that instead of drawn sprites makes the game seem more jumpy to me. 2 just runs smoother, imo. Still, 3 is awesome, and I would love to see this game get a good reboot. I'm picturing some type of download. I think the game would lose something if it were treated like a modern racer.
