Seriously, SEGA did a great job in Sonic Rush.
The 2d side scrolling and speed that we all used to love.

But with all this new sonic with new theme, it doesn’t work out for me very well at all. The last sonic game I bought was Sonic and the Secret Ring. It’s was very painful to play though I did finish them in the end.

Right now, im still playing all the classic sonic games in my Wiiware. Just hoping something like those old days shall return.

All that blazing speed of gunning through the city with the visuals stretched and the music faded, killing enemies in a flash instead of slowing down, it’s just simply how I imagined a 3d sonic game should be like (in fact even better: swithcing lanes using the shoulder pads—genius!). My jaw literally dropped when I first saw the rooftop run level. I was thinking, how much better can a sonic game get?

And it still got bad reviews.

There is one idea of mine that they haven’t implemented yet: speed related abilities. Like when you reach over 300kph you gain the ability to run up any wall, reaching over 350kph enables you to run on water, spinning at 250kph enables you to break through steel walls etc. But I’m no game designer and this idea might complicate on an otherwise casual gameplay, I dunno.

Still, the daylight levels looks like fun. Completely over-”shadow” the night levels. Get it? Shadow? You know, as in night levels, and sonic’s rival….? Oh nevermind.

Sonic Unleashed was targeted towards kids, so that’s why it has those “cool” werehog scenes.

Straight from the horse’s mouth:

Nah nothing weird about that at all. Love the game too, just that I remember the last level was loooooong.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is still my all time favorite. I know this sounds really weird but I love Sonic Spinball too.

Yahtzee usually over exaggerates in his reviews and can be critical to even the best games. But most of his points are true in some sense. But thats what makes them so funny haha. His Wii Sports Resort is one of the best lol

But yeah, I’d keep the day time levels and improve on them in the upcoming Sonic game instead of trying to add ANYTHING else. Let them get the Sonic part right first, then can consider other things :P

ah the infamous escapist review lol

I don’t agree with him about the day parts, coz it’s what made you and me get excited about Sonic in the first place :) But yea, the night and hub parts really suck, it was frustrating to watch for me, can’t imagine the feeling if I actually play it.

I know a lot of people want the Sonic franchise to stop, but I want them to keep on putting in effort. Waste of money I guess, but there’s still hope. I think :P

They should just kill the Sonic franchise for good. Just to spare us fans, the pain of watching them butcher the hedgehog over and over and over…

I think Yatzee describes it best.

Sonic Unleashed was the last straw cuz this game actually got everyone (including me after trying it at TGS) excited about Sonic again only to pile drive them face first into the ground with the rest of the shit!
