It's a 3 disc soundtrack actually. The vast majority of Japanese soundtrack releases are 2-3 discs so I think it's fair to assume it contains everything used in the game.faridmon said:

Sooo good.
Sweet. One of the things I liked the most in Unleashed (both versions) after I unlocked everything was speedrunning the day stages, it will be interesting to do so in zones like this with so much platforming. I'm happy there's no leveling up bullshit in Colors.Blueblur1 said:

I can't stand the remixed music they use for Act 2 of Sweet Mountain though. Sounds horrible.

It sounds like we're only getting half of the sound, from one speaker or something. I'm hoping that that's actually what it is.

Can anyone else comment on that video? It really does seem very off music-wise, especially the first thirty seconds or so.Willy105 said:

Huh? I think it sounds awesome! I mean so far I have liked the Act 2 remixes less than the originals, but the Sweet Mountain remix sounds like the best so far! Although I'm listening through headphones and getting sounds through both sides, so I don't know?The_Technomancer said:

Amusing touch, how the Wisp icons on the HUD "fall asleep" during points when you can't use them. I hadn't noticed that before someone pointed it out in the Youtube comments.

I think I might finally use the Wii again. This game looks fantastic.

Right around the 19-20 second mark in particular it cuts in and out in a way that sounds really bad to me. Is it better on headphones or something?Fuu said:

That could be the case. It's actually very catchy to me, and definitely at the caliber the rest of the OST. I don't really hear anything weird about it TBH.The_Technomancer said:

I know, it looks kind of badass. It's little touches like these that have been missing in recent Sonic games; so glad Sonic seems to be back.AniHawk said:

Continuing my way through the Sonic 2006 Lets Play....they just started Shadow....I have to watch some footage of Colors between each video as an antidote. I think I can feel parts of my brain melting.

A well reviewed Sonic game? Did I enter the twilight zone and didn't notice? O_0

I just started watching the Silver portion myself.
Watching this thing is like watching a train wreck. I can absolutely feel their pain. It's almost like I'm actually playing the game with them.
Also, Medibot is annoying.

Their Sonic Unleashed LP is almost as good as Unleashed's, imo.

Can I just clarify from those that have played it:
When people are saying this is good, are they saying it in the same way that they said Sonic and the Secret Rings, Sonic Rush and Sonic Unleashed were good (meaning dire crap), or is it actually, well, good good?
I don't mean good for a Sonic game (which means nothing) but does it play as a good game in its own right?
Because if it is actually, legitimately, in its own right, a good game, the first in fifteen years, then I should play it.
I just don't want to waste my money again.

I should. But I watched one or two of the trailers, and they didn't offend or sicken me. I can't remember the last time a Sonic trailer did that. This game looks like it could possibly be, in the right context and circumstances, a little bit close to resembling a degree or two of possible actual fun.
And that surprises me enough to want to maybe try part of it.

We had the reviewer for Nintendo Power stop in the other thread, maybe he can give more specific impressions if he stops by.Mama Robotnik said:
Speaking as someone who hasn't played it, the difference between Colors and those three is that there's nothing catastrophically stupid lurking in the dark corners of the design. What you see in the available videos is what the game is, nothing more.Mama Robotnik said:
Whether that looks fun or not is entirely up to you.

It doesn't seem to really though. Each level has some Unleashed style fast-paced blitz forward sections, but they also seem a lot more complex in terms of moment-to-moment choices about how to go, more "interactive" if you will. The wisps seem like a large part of this, as does the better vantage point granted by all the 2D.Mojo said:
And I personally really enjoyed the Unleashed daytime stages.

Which version? The 360/PS3 version weren't really that linear, all told. There were a handful of detours you could take.

This.
Sonic doesnt need to be digging tunnels to be good so who knows if this is just another gimmicky attempt by Sega to make a decent Sonic game.
And the same goofs keep buying these games only encouraging them to do more.
Can't trust those reviews anymore. Can't trust reviews period they just don't know what they are talking about we've seen people rave over Sonic 4 we're going to see the same shit here.
Why even bother with the game then? I'll never understand the mindset of people who think all Sonic games in latest years are absolute shit + think Sega can't be trusted on releasing a good one but still insist on paying attention/trying out every single one that's released. Let it go!Iknos said:
