Holy crap, that's extra awful if so. Release date embargo for a retail game is already terrible.

The most depressing part of all this is that Sega is holding back legitmately good games like Yakuza and PSO2 so that we can have...this.

Poor thing.
isnt this the super sonic fan with the annoying intro?
If he didn't like it, jesus christ........
For reference im sure he is one of the few people who genuinely liked 06
PES is the Sonic Boom of football games.
That's amazing. It's just... it's SO rough. I mean, forget whether a more generic Sonic co-op platformer with a heavy emphasis on dialogue and story was a good idea conceptually. The game just straight up isn't running properly about a third of the time. It feels like you're playing a new PC game on a rig that's below the minimum system requirements. Even if every other aspect of Boom had been the greatest thing since sliced bread, it would have been completely sabotaged by performance this bad.

Yeah he's the "WHOS GONNA ROCK DA PLACE" cringe guy.
And no, I don't think he did, he had a video of himself destroying the game after beating it.

Sonic BOOM |OT| "Maybe Runners will be good."
Those gif's have made my day in the wrongest way possible.
Why can't Sega just throw the modern Sonic and all his shitty friends in an incinerator and bring back just Classic Sonic and maybe Classic Tails and leave it at that? Sonic Generations was the first time I had hope for the series since before Sonic Adventure and everything after it has been very disappointing. You'd think after all the praise they got from Generations that they'd have learned this would be the best plan of action but apparently something isn't connecting with the higher ups over there.

Kinda wish the series would just go back to Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and, I guess Amy, since she actually pre-dates Knuckles and even Tails, kind of.
Why mess with the "three primary colors + the required girl" formula?
This "Sticks" character is unbearable. How is it possible they're still finding new depths to plumb for Sonic's Shitty Friends?

This is so sad for the team that made it.
Yet, when you say it that way, no matter how harsh it sounds, I cannot think otherwise.
Ouch.
OH COME ON.
You're right. ;_;

I will defend the OST even if the game did not age at well (bad motion controls).The Palace That Was Found is a great song, though.
Sanzaru never really made anything but mediocre titles as far as I'm concerned. Sly 4 was all over the place. It had the right mechanics but the flow of the campaign wasn't really that good and the story was a confused mess.
Boom 3DS looks maybe even more awful than this game.
Wow. That was great.
Cobi liked the werehog sections though. He thinks Unleashed is like 8/10 or something.
You know, Shadow is just great in this.
Like, there is no reason for him to be a badguy, but he is just a colossal asshole.

The first episode was mediocre, but the second episode was actually pretty good I thought and showed potential. Eggman really steals the show.
First episode didn't really sit well with me until I rewatched it and it became decent. Second episode is legit good. Not the best, but super entertaining thanks to Mike Pollock's amazing VA work.
Look it up on Youtube, you can find HD versions of both episodes there.

Anyone who likes classic sonic game play or fast level game play like generations will be disappointed. This game is a separate universe from the main sonic storyline. Its made by a different team from the core sonic team dev's. Im pretty sure this universe is where all the experimental nonsense is going to go. Stuff like sonic unleashed & what not type ideas will go into this universe while the core sonic team devs will make more great games like sonic generations.
Sorry, my quoted bit didn't have a bit of context: you fall through the side of the cliff and never die, and you are forced to reset the game. That is inexcusable.
Since YouTube is blocking off all the funny, I can't wait to see this game for real when the embargo lifts.

Word of mouth says it's alright, but Cartoon Network shoved it into 7 AM on Saturday mornings with no advertisement so it's as good as cancelled already.
Soundtrack is pretty good. The only good thing

Just like Legend of Korea.
So sad...
I'm actually wondering if it can score less than 06.

Watching the TV show and it is not bad.
So this is the total opposite of Ghostly Adventures were the game is pretty OK and the show sucks.
