Game Center vs OpenFeint

Question

I would like to add a global leaderboard for my games score.

Would you recommend Game Center or OpenFeint for implementing this?

What is needed to setup a global leaderboard? Is the server hosted by the service?

Thanks

Answer 1

Use both networks if you can! I know many users, who prefer one of them and hate the other.

As far as I know has Openfeint built in GameCenter integration. Giving the user the chance to use both gives you the best of both worlds.

Answer 2

Game Center definitely.

It's officially supported by Apple so it's really well integrated into the sdk and there's no guarantee Apple will not prohibit all third-party game networks at some point in the future.

The servers are hosted by the service (for Game Center at least)

Answer 3

One important difference between the two is that OpenFeint has Android support. That is something to consider if you are multiplatform.
