Somehow I missed Final Fantasy Tactics A2 despite owning a DS and 3DS XL. Probably would have enjoyed it since I liked the previous Tactics games.

Ive never seen Calling all Cars but that looks fun.

A2 was so disappointing as a follow up to tactics

 

[Nikana]

Calling All cars was really neat but people really just didnt seem to care.

 

[Epic Nemesis]

Okay you cunts. You let me down with XIII. Bring this one home for me.

Calling all Cars was an under appreciated gem on the PS3. It felt like a combo of NBA Jam and Mario Kart Battle mode. Some of the best local multiplayer fun of the last 3 generations that I think was overlooked at the time because no one was interested in PSN downloadable games.

It was like 10-20 bucks if memory serves and no DLC.

This is tough. They both look fun to play.

We are tied so I'll let this run for a little while longer.

I'm calling all cars to vote.

 

[Showdown]

Calling all Cars looks like something I'd go for. Tossing a vote that way.

Calling all Cars was a ton of fun. I feel like they pulled the plug on the online very quickly. It's was a David Jaffe game That nobody played.

 

[Grinchy]

I've never even heard of that Tactics cash grab game, but I did buy Calling All Cars when it came out. It was pretty fun but I can't say it held my attention for a very long time.

 

[Vyse]

A win for Calling All Cars!
