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.
All I can say is this: I was able to tell from first gameplay videos that Sonic Unleashed (werehog), Sonic and the Secret Rings, and Sonic 4 were clunky, awkward, and not polished, and I was always right. But the control in Unleashed Wii
was good, and it looks like they've tightened it up for 2D sections even more. Again, even from non-interactive videos the control of Sonic 4 looked bad and this looks good.
I've never played Sonic Heroes. I've never played Sonic 2006. I've played Secret Rings and thought it had some ideas, but the control was abysmal and it was only good "for a Sonic game" I'm that particular breed of Sonic fan who despises the shitty friends, despises the over the top storylines, and thinks that Adventure and Adventure 2 were ruined by control issues. Again, it comes back to control issues and you can tell from videos of Adventure how the player fights with the finicky twitch reactions. And that's what impressed me about the videos of Colors from the start: the control looked
good.
The wisps seem like interesting gameplay mechanics. But, crucially, if you don't want to you don't have to use them. In fact I believe that the first time through a level you can't, its only on repeat playthroughs that the capsules appear.
I could be proven totally wrong. But ever hands on with the game has been positive. Multiple previews before both came out said that it was better then Sonic 4. The gameplay videos look polished. Reviews aren't high-7, low-8, they're high-8 low-9. There's no melodramatic storyline, no free-roaming, no weird physics, no weird control issues or game changing gimmicks. If the game is bad I will be honestly, truly shocked.
If the gameplay videos don't appeal to you then that's fine. You won't enjoy this game. But that doesn't make it a
bad game. And if the gameplay videos
do look good, or at least not bad, then it flies in the face of everything pointing to the contrary to say that the game is going to suck anyway just because its Sonic.
