On that note, f3 did you buy Sonic and the Secret Rings? Is it good?
I would say it is the best Sonic since the DC times. It' s fun to play although some of the missions are plain annoying.
Graphics are good enough for me. Then again I' m someone who thinks last generation graphics at the end look more than good enough or Shenmue like graphics.
The control for me isn' t really much of a problem. I got the hang of it fast. One of my brothers picked it up once and got the hang for it in a matter of minutes. Although sometimes the braking doesn' t really work and you run to your death. A few minor faults in the controls.
It' s fast, has good level design to back it up and it' s just fun to be running through the soundwall. Which I believe he does when you use speedbreak.
I would have love it if they used the terms Zones and acts again though. To few levels and to many useless missions. I' m sure they' ll change that though.
The most annoying part about the game is that you can' t turn around and have to backtrack. Although I myself rarely find me in position where I want to do it. Being able to turn around and run that way would have been much better. I' m sure they' ll make it so in the next Sonic outing on the Wii.
The voices are better than in most of the recent games. If you still don' t like them switch it to the Japanese voices. The music...well that' s personal taste. I always found that the rock like music fitted Sonic well. After all Sonic his own favorite music is rock. And rock just fits well with the speed. The songs fit the stages really if you ask me so I don' t really why people keep whining about it. More like looking for a reason to call a Sonic game trash.
All in all if I have to be as unbiased as I can I would score the game a 7.5 or an 8. It' s a good game really, it' s fun, looks good and addictive. Makes you smile to see Sonic finally running again instead of platform hopping all the time. And he' s damn fast this time around. The game isn' t great and misses that little extra bit that would make a Sonic game excellent. But it' s a good game and a welcome change from the crap we' ve been served over the past years.
As a Sonic fan I would score it 8 or an 8.5. Because after all the years of crappy Sonic titles this one is putting Sonic back on his feet again. It' s not a complete comeback for our favorite blue blur. But he' s on his legs and running again.
So if you don' t have a problem with the onrails and you like " the dude with the ' tude" then go ahead and buy it. You won' t be dissappointed...unless if you are one of those fans who love the unneeded characters in the game.
