Hmm, I wonder who made this thread... It's such a mystery...

Okay, in all seriousness, let's discuss the latest Sonic title released on the Wii and DS in a civil manner, shall we?

Well, to start, allow me to sum the game up as I see it: Take the best aspects of the already decent Sonic Unleashed, remove the worst parts of it, and add in exploration elements from Sonic The Hedgehog CD and a powerup gimmick system that actually improves the overall gameplay, some of the general themes from Super Mario Galaxy, a lighthearted story with a hilarious script penned by the writers of Reboot and Happy Tree Friends and good voice acting, and you'll have the best Sonic game since the Genesis titles.

I didn't like it. Sonic's far too slippery and floaty for precise platforming, it's too easy to mess up and hit a dead end and there's too many pseudo-cutscenes where control of Sonic is taken away from you.

I personally love it, but I feel guilty for loving it because of the fans who still say it failed to bring back the pinball physics in the old games. I feel guilty for not caring. sad

As the old saying goes...fuck 'em. This game is pretty good.

[up][up] Considering the nature of the Sonic fandom, I wouldn't care too much about their opinion (granted, one could say this about every fandom).

I've never played any of the newer (than Genesis) Sonic games. Maybe Colors would be a good game to start. Although should I get the DS or the Wii version?

I don't care what anyone says, Sonic 2 was the flattest of the Genesis series.

No, Sonic 2 was the most awesomest of the Genesis series. You can't deny its most awesomestness.

Plus, Metropolis, Chemical Plant, and Mystic Cave are amazing, and the giant Robotnik>>>Sonic 3 and Knuckles final boss.

I want to like it more than I do, but I really, really like the gameplay introduced in Sonic Rush. This one is more platforming focused, and the straight platforming has always been the part of classic Sonic I enjoyed the least.

Just got it yesterday and beat it today. Wow that was short. Rather easy too. Curious as to how quick I will finish the DS version when I manage to get my hands on it... My verdict on the Wii version...it's probably the best of the 3-D Sonic games and is now my second favorite game in the series behind 3 and Knuckles. I've heard some complaints about the controls being unresponsive. There were only two cases where I felt that was such. During the movement sections where you see the little swervy box at the bottom of the screen and while using Frenzy (initially anyway, once he grows he is much easier to control). Most of the Wisp powers I liked save Frenzy (due to aforementioned control issues) and Hover (it's a bit dull if very useful). Spikes is probably my favorite of the things.I am unsure of how I feel about the simplistic storyline. On the one hand I find that very charming and refreshing. On the other hand it feels a bit empty in that department. Colors has taught me that a more platformy Sonic can work. Colors is a very nice balance between running like a madman and jumping over doom pits.

Currently I am collecting red rings (that I call coins for some reason) so I can begin working on getting Super Sonic. I WILL RAPE THE WORLD WITH HIS MIGHTY POWERS.

Colors is just wonderful. Maybe the only thing unperfect about it is the lack of focus on 3D and how I can't use some wisps there. =(

I liked those sections best. I have a great fondness for the quickstep sections of the game in particular. There was enough of that to keep me satisfied. Not being able to use most Wisps in those sections didn't bug me much.

...the pinball? Seriously?

That just makes me think assholes are scraping the bottom of the barrel looking for something to be contrary about.

How did I forget to mention that...THANK YOU FOR SCRAPPING THOSE. Fuck pinball mechanics in Sonic games. Fuck them to hell. 4 managed to make them slightly more bearable, but only just.

I just can't get into the game. It's solid enough, but there's simply nothing to hold my interest.

The story is purest Excuse Plot, the enemies aren't worth mentioning, the settings are forgettable, bosses are pathetic, and the 3D aspect is near non-existent. Even with the Wisps, there's nothing to really set it apart from other games. It's just kinda there.

I started playing it.

It looks meh. The gameplay is reminiscent of Sonic Advance, which is okay I guess.

Loved it.

The story is purest Excuse Plot,

Because the Sonic series is known for its in-depth, highly intellectual plots, amirite?

the enemies aren't worth mentioning,

Then why are you mentioning them?

the settings are forgettable,

IT'S A FUCKING SPACE CARNIVAL. If that does't impress you, I'm inclined to believe you're dead.

bosses are pathetic,

I don't know about you, but I'd rather go for slightly too easy than BR 00 TALLY DIFFICULT like every other game in existence.

and the 3D aspect is near non-existent.

This is bad because....?

Even with the Wisps, there's nothing to really set it apart from other games.

What exactly were you expecting....?
