Dream Chronicles 1 or 2?

Which one is better? I'm debating about which one to purchase, and it's been so long since I played the demo of DC 1 that I don't remember much. I do remember liking the demo of DC 2, but didn't buy it at the time for whatever reason. I felt I should ask as there ended up being a big difference between say, Azada 1 and Azada 2 (I liked the first better, I think).

Thanks in advance!

i enjoyed the second one better.only did demo on first dream chronicles. and yes i liked the first azada better too

Well i did not buy the 1st dream only played demo, thought it was way out my league, but itook thr plunge and bought DC2 and although I enjoy it I still haven,t finished it, cannot find the keys on last level, so giving it a rest, Azada 1 and 2 bought both, loved them

The second one is definitly longer, I know that much, and I *think* I remember it being a bit more difficult. Both are very good so you wouldn
't go wrong with either. There is not the same kind of big change from 1 to 2 as there was with Azada. The 2nd is really a continuation of the first. If stories are important to you I'd say go with the first as there is a background story to it all. If that's not so important I'd go with 2 as it's longer and at least as good as 1.

Poodlebear is right. I have both and the story is a continuation. 2 is better/harder/longer but 1 is very good too. I also think you should get them both. You won't regret either purchase.

I have both and played both to the end. The first one was not as difficult as the second one. That game really challenged the grey matter. I enjoyed the second one more than the first but am glad I played both in succession.

Because it is a continual story, I'd suggest getting both games and playing them in order.

Both games get a from me.

I'd start with DC 1, then get DC 2. I have both and replay them alot. They have some of the most inventive games I've come across. IMHO

Very good advice Lil_Red loved them both especially 2.was a good run for your money here.

I'd agree w/everyone so far- if you are a fan of stories try for both and go in order. DC2 is definitely longer, and had a puzzle (the chess board) that caused me to stop playing for a couple of weeks in frustration, but I really liked both games. The art is beautiful and so is the sound.

loved both of them equally

great games

Anybody taking bets on when we'll see DC 3.

I thought they were both wonderful, but I do feel the first prepared me for the second one because the second one was more difficult in my opinion. But I thought it was the best thinking game I'd ever played.

I bought both games and preferred the second. I liked the graphics better in the second one. They both make you think though.

I'd recommend getting both. The first one begins the story and is a bit easier IMO so it prepares you for that type of game if you're not already familiar with the style. I love them both but I'd give #2 an edge simply because they got rid of the pop up explanations for every single Dream Jewel which I found very tedious and annoying after the first two or three. I'm already looking forward to Part III.
