The game isn't worth 15 dollars, plain and simple.
1992-1993 was a fantastic time for Sega, most of it built on the back of Sonic 2.Andrex said:
I didn't think I'd seen you in the Colors threads. This comment doesn't strike me as being especially fair to the game, so I'm curious to hear the thoughts that led to it.Mama Robotnik said:

Nah, not really. That's an ideology you're trying to frame me with, but I'm not nearly that anal.RobbieNick said:
Sure, I'd prefer it if a current-gen 2D Sonic game adhered to certain cornerstones of the classic series (tight controls, an expertly crafted physics system, level design that complements said physics, etc.), but I don't personally think a new game in the series would absolutely have to do things 100% the classic way for me to enjoy it. Quality is quality.
Believe it or not, I wouldn't really trash Sonic 4 so hard if it ended up being a project of exceptional merit in its own right. But I'm not seeing Sonic 4 as being a top-tier platformer at all, which is what I ultimately want for the character/franchise. But apparently you have no problem with it's middling existence. It looks like a merely passable effort from Sega/dimps. Nothing to get excited about, and certainly not the herald of Sonic's supposed return to glory that you keep pushing. Have no clue why you're going out of your way to defend it so hard.

In the end I don't mind the homing attack that much, but I feel that the speed boosters are the antithesis of everything that the old games were about, and that's why I don't like to consider 4 their true successor. The speed boosters speak to a very different yet still fun style of play more akin to Rush or the Advance games.

I'm getting this game next week for sure. Looks like its going to be fun enough and not the broken mess this place has been saying it will be for the past year. Hopefully ep2 brings something special to lock-on onto ep1. It's too bad its a little on the short side. An extra area would have helped probably.

after the OT mega-thread controversy, a nice bit of Sonic-madness actually feels normal

It actually got a worse score than Sonic 2006 from IGN.
Edit- HD version that is. Wii version got a 7 something from Matt C.

Sonic Unleashed is a good game, yet it got terrible reviews. It's a way better game than people make it out to be, especially the 360/PS3 version.

Some of the Old-school Sonics are among the best platformers ever created. Calling Sonic the king of platformers is bit much but it was a clear No 2. for a little while.Andrex said:

So now Unleashed is terrible? Right. Revisionist history at work.
If you want a terrible Sonic game look no further than 2006. That's the gold standard for what terrible is.
Unleashed is at the very least decent. It's a huge step in the right drection for 3D sonics compared to 2006. It may have its love hate crowd but it wasn't a terrible game.

I'm going to get it, too, for the Wii. It looks like a fun game and while it may not truly be Sonic the Hedgehog 4, that doesn't mean it won't be enjoyable.

Perfect summation. Both games are different flavors of terribad, 2006 was just worse.jman2050 said:

general consensus is that daytime levels in Unleashed were awesome

Yes! Also, Colors is based on Unleashed and it gets a ton of praise here. So why all the hype for Colors? Seriously, following the logic around here is hard sometimes. If it weren't for Unleashed we wouldn't have Colors. SEGA is obviously taking what was seen as the GOOD parts of Unleashed and using that as the main game.
But anyhow, this thread is for Sonic4. So I'll go back on topic and say that I can't wait to play the final version for myself.

Personally, I'd say HD Unleashed is the best 3D Sonic. That's not saying much and it definitely has its faults, but it's a solid game.jman2050 said:
Colors will be awesome.

HD unleashed day levels were awesome and he best 3D sonic game ever.
The werehog was at best OK and at worst very bad and annoying.
Colours is supposed to be a game full of Sonic Unleashed daytime levels so will most likely be awesome (and possibly the best 3D sonic yet)
I'm still on the fence about 4 now I've seen some iphone reviews and opinions. Seems like it's Sonic advance 4 really (which isn't horrible. I really liked the advance series. Well 1 and 2). I'll probably get it on whatever platform it works out cheapest for me on. I don't want the 360 one because of lol360dpad but I've got a bunch of cheap points coming and he whole 800 points back if you spend 2400 makes the 360 version tempting.

So this is out on Wednesday? I'll try the trial, I would love to play some Sonic again. It's been so, so long for me. I don't really care about the frothing negativity in this thread, it might be a fun game. As long as it even just hints at what I loved about Genesis Sonic, I'll be satisfied.
Maybe Sonic Colors will hit the spot but it's from the guys who made the Sonic game with swords so my hopes aren't up.
