I've only ever played the trackball game. How does the joystick version compare? It seems like it would be a bit choppier with aiming and all that. Is the game actually programmed differently to make the action comparable using a stick?
Played both versions, I dont think the joystick version is a disappointment at all in terms of the gameplay. You just only can play/destroy one friend instead of 2 at a time. The upside is that you can plug it any Jamma cab and play.
