The last one made me almost take a shit on my Dreamcast. And I never played that wii shit. I don't waggle.

100$ every two weeks when driving 90 miles a day does not make for an opulent lifestyle.

It's difficult to say how good the game will be, but I think it's a pretty safe bet that it will be light years beyond Sonic 06.

People are excited that Nintendo Power gave the Wii version the same score as Shadow the Hedgehog, so that's something.

I'm waiting for the demo

No, it wasn't. The Wii/PS2 versions were basically farmed out to Dimps. Of course, Dimps has actually released better Sonic games as of late than Sonic Team proper. Still, I don't believe the team responsible for Sonic 06 is behind this new game.

That's not much of an accomplishment, even for Sonic Team.

I have no hope for this whatsoever. Sonic Rush was OK (never played the sequel), but for now I'm content with just replaying 1, 2, 3, +Knuckles, and CD.

That's a bit harsh. The game looks pretty good in stills considering how fast you'll be passing these textures. Honestly, designing the stages for this game seems like it would have been a pretty hefty job as a result of the insane speed they went with combined with the fact that they wanted to maintain visual quality even in stills.

If it turns out to be good, I'll probably just get it when it hits the bargain bins. Someone who might give a glowing review might do that because its the first Sonic that isn't total dog shit and therefore, will overrate it.

Seems so. Though at least its soley due to the werehog sections this time, instead of an utter disaster like 2006. Sigh, when will Sega ever learn?

It has been humorour watching the posters on gaf trying to claim that the Sonic cycle is "broken" as if proving a joke chart wrong suddenly makes the series not shitty.

Quote from: Green Man on November 23, 2008, 06:31:35 PM

The Wii version apparently holds up well and has little slowdown or buggy gameplay, though the 360 version has achievements and costs more(making it a better game). Buying games is hard when you might have two systems.

The Wii version is apparently gimped completely: missing some stages and the werehog sections are 75% of the game.

That's true. The 360 game is the definite version.

After looking at videos of the Sonic stages, I'm going to have to judge this one myself. I'm picking this up later this week.

Olivia Wilde Homo · « **Reply #48 on:** November 23, 2008, 07:47:42 PM »

I expect this to be another title like Sonic Heroes: ambitious but painfully mediocre.

Still a step up from Secret Rings, Sonic 2006, or Shadow, probably.

I'm expecting something akin to SA2, good Sonic stages with shitty filler levels.

But your take on Sonic Heroes is spot on.

Note: I will be tallking out of my ass here

One thing I don't get is the complaints about there not being enough "2D" sonic levels. Now, I haven't played a Sonic game in ages, but I remember them being pretty short. From what I have read, once you've finished you can skip the werewolf stuff and just replay the "2D" levels. Sounds to me that those levels are cumulatively about the same length of past Sonic games, so you're basically getting a full "old-style" Sonic padded out with some crap.
