It hates that hedgehog.
My bet is that Eggman upgraded it, for reasons. His plot this time seemed be the most convoluted to date, it just doesn't make much since.Tizoc said:What exactly is the GUN Truck's beef with Sonic? It's like it spent the last 10 years upgrading just to make roadkill of a blue mammal

I had a worse bug during the Espio challenge where I would hit one of the spotlights to move it and it would shoot me through the floor

Did you die during the battle? If you die, the highest you can achieve is an A-Rank. Try gathering more rings as well if you need to increase your score past 50K.Khorino said:
This guy did it in >2 minutes and still got the S-Rank, for example.

I run into a bug often on Sky Sanctuary Classic that has Sonic screech to a halt when I hold right to go around the spiral platform at the very end of the stage, resulting in a fall to my death.

Sonic Generations is out performing the last two main line titles.Anth0ny said:
Both 360 and PS3 versions are higher than either Sonic Unleashed's charts on its debut week and higher than the DS and Wii positions for Sonic Colors. Also, generally Sonic games just sells and sells for a long while because Sonic titles have long legs at sales.
Also, Chart ended 1 day after Generations came out, so I wouldn't say it's very accurate to judge a weeks worth of Generations sales based off of two days.
Eh. Daytime Unleashed looks fun for what it is, but watching it in action always gives me the same Straight Line Zone vibe that plagues GHZ and Crisis City in this game. I can pick out little subtleties in the route here and there, but never any significant alternatives and certainly none of the platforming moments that Generations mixes in.dark10x said:

Not as tedious as the SP rings were in Sonic Advance 2...jesus christ.
That being said, the hints that the characters give are a godsend...I wish Sonic Colors had that.

So is there some good Modern stuff in the last set of three stages? So far I've only really enjoyed Green Hill and Seaside Hill, the rest are kind of eh.

I had tons of fun doing it with Modern Sonic. Classic Sonic seems to be a different story. Sky Sanctuary was the worst.
"HIT THIS ONE CLOUD THAT ESSENTIALLY MAKES THE ENTIRE SECOND HALF OF THE STAGE A COMPLETELY SEPARATE PATH AND BY THE WAY IF YOU DON'T HIT THE CLOUD WITHIN 3 SECONDS IT VANISHES FOREVER"
I replayed that stage 4 times and wasted nearly 15 lives trying to get that one red star ring.

Sales for the week ending November 5th.
So 1 day of sales cracks the top ten, for a franchise 99% of people seem to hate.. Which arguably hasn't had a critically acclaimed game for over a decade.. I'd say that's pretty good going. Lol
Lets see if Rayman Origins cracks the top ten after one day of sales......
AbsoluteZero said:
Sonic Colors had them in order in the hub, though, which was a big help to determine in which part of the level they could be after getting a couple, I don't understand why they went back to just marking how many you have gotten. Nevertheless, they're definitely not that bad... other than a couple in City Escape which are a bit luck-based a vast majority of them just require you to find alternate routes, which is cool.

If you throw a few Jesus comments in or some biblical allusions, "Escape From The City" could totally pass as a Christian pop-punk song.
"Follow me... set me free... Jesus..."
Whenever I hear that song, I can't shake it.

I get that kind of vibe from a lot of the Adventure era songs. I like a lot of them but the sound of the guitars and the singer's voice does have a distinct Christian rock feel to it.El_TigroX said:

The SP rings were worse. You could finish Sonic Unleashed without getting even half of the sun/moon medals. Slowing down and finding enough to beat the game really wasn't as annoying as everyone made it out to be.
The SP rings on the other hand were absolutely necessary. You HAD to find all 7 in a given stage, and levels were frequently designed so that if you were Sonic, backtracking was absolutely impossible. Miss any given SP ring at any time and you had to restart the entire stage over from scratch.
And you had to get all the chaos emeralds as all the characters in order to unlock the final ending, as I recall. So that meant collecting all the SP rings in every stage as Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Cream, and possibly even Amy Rose (she was unlockable for doing something, can't remember what).
There is nothing worse.

Yeah they did and the graphics were amazing. That ice level...Mistle said:
A perfect example of trying too hard and doing too much, being a bad thing.
It wasn't quite that bad. Getting all seven with one character unlocked the chao garden. You had to get all seven with Sonic and just beat the game with all four characters to get the bonus boss. Getting all the emeralds with two characters unlocked the sound test, getting them with three unlocked boss rush, and all four unlocked Amy. Getting them with Amy did jack squat.Sega1991 said:
Still pretty stupid all around, though, even if I did kinda like the special stages themselves.
Chemical Plant runs badly for everyone. Best guess is that it's a problem with how the engine streams in data. I think it was dark10x who said he'd put the game on a solid state drive and it alleviated the problem somewhat.DeVeAn said:

Classic Sonicqq more said:
Genesis/Mega Drive- Sky Sanctuary: One of the most varied stages as far as routes go, though i'll be sure to try and avoid the one with the marble garden zone platform. Truly a stage that rewards you for timing your enemy and cloud bounces. I like how there are effectively three different paths to the finish.
Dreamcast- Speed Highway: I liked how they made good use of the building interiors to vary the stage from just being on the highway and rooftops, lovely little touch at the sections where you cross the road in front of cars, take it slowly and you'll find the cars will actually break in front of you as opposed to running you over.
Modern- Crisis City: What was initially a stage I found kind of poor has now become one of my favourites, collapsing bridges, floating debris and strong winds play their parts in the art of careful platforming. also the greatest goalpost sign in Sonic History.
Modern Sonic
Genesis/Mega Drive- Chemical Plant: Probably my favourite stage just to blitz through, no need to fear the murky depths now I know the dry route which is also a lot of fun. Also the only stage with a sky dive section, poor old rocket wisp got shafted here.
Dreamcast- Speed Highway: The name doesn't lie, speed is the order of the day here and with many different potential routes to blaze down it makes for fun replays, throws in some nice platforming on top of that for a change of pace so you don't just go cruise control with the boost button, great visuals as well, they really brought this place to life compared to the SA original.
Modern- Rooftop Run: While I was close to going with Crisis City again since it manages to put in some fast flowing 3D platforming and homing attack chains but I then remembered the stomp section, if I miss the shortcut to bypass some of that i'm not pleased at all. so with that in mind i'll go with rooftop run, maybe not quite as good as the Unleashed edition but it's still great fun and the music is delicious nourishment for my ears.

It turns out that a good amount of people can't connect to the 30 second trial. It won't get past the "Getting Data" screen, and a 8002A1A7 PSN error code will pop up endlessly unless you exit the screen. Apparently, someone complained to Sega and was told that deleting your entire friend list should fix the problem, but I'd rather not do that, so I guess I'll just have to wait for a patch or something.Dark Schala said:

I think my major issue with Classic Sonic is that he has almost no aerial momentum.
Still this game is really fun like holy shit. I just beat Rooftop Run with both Sonics (all red rings, both S ranked).
