From that review summary, 2 bad points are the 30fps refresh rate and loading times.. Which in theory could be non existant (almost) on pc. Sounds like an exciting time to be part of the master race.

Also, isnt it a sign of a generation of consoles nearing the end of their lives when review scores are being lowered due to these reasons? I mean, its not so much a fault of the game itself, but rather the hardware its being played on.

Sonic1 has been breaking down by the power of iizuka-san. He's uploaded a bunch of weird / entertaining videos that are a good laugh.

:lol This guy doesn't quit.

Link of a video where he reviews some Sonic action figures and an Amy one which he claims to be the first to review on YouTube. I'm tempted to get some of these figures -- they're pretty cool looking.

In this video, which I should label as NSFW for the language...

- Gratuitous use of the homophobic epithets that he's known for.

- He shows that the Amy figure has a "pussy crevice." I'm not even playing.

- He hates Modern Sonic so much that he submerges a Modern Sonic figure in boiling hot water for an extended period of time. He claims to have thrown another Modern Sonic action figure into a fan.

- He quickly refers to Knuckles as [n-word] Knuckles in passing.

I dunno if it's the Dimetapp + the sinus medication, but when he pulled upside-down 1994 Robotnik out of nowhere, I laughed.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.

Not going to post the scans, but I read more about that magazine review.

Apparantly the rival battles are just races where the objective is to get to the end first, so there's only four boss fights in this game. Only four. Wow.

In the 3DS version I'm assuming? Because we know for a fact the console version's Rival Battles don't work that way.

Is the lack of boss fights really that bad though? You don't need a boss battle to cap off each level. If a race/duel is entertaining enough of a substitute for a boss battle, I'm totally cool with that.

Sonic used to be a franchise where every single level had a boss, and in the case of Sonic 3 every act itself had a boss. But those days are long gone, unfortunately.

But in this case, we only have 1 boss per era (3 levels), and 1 race per era (3 levels), which means one level in each era has absolutely nothing besides the level. (and missions)

That certainly isn't going to be acceptable for me in a future sonic game, but for Generations i'll give it the benefit of the doubt.

It'd be nice if you could unlock the ability to play through the game as Sonic with Tails, Tails alone, and Knuckles alone. You know, like the good ol' days.

I kind of doubt that, if the ramps are hard-coded like we've seen. Wouldn't make that much of a difference.

Official U.S. Playstation Magazine has one of the first reviews. They gave it a 8/10 in a tiny review taking up a quarter of a page and with a screencap of the 3DS Mushroom Hill. XP
