The lights are on
Starting to wonder if tim is the only person allowed to review sonic games on GI in thier staff *though he did a tad better than that piece of....well you all know what i think of his review before :p
This game is amazing. The music, levels and god the bosses brign back many memories. The game runs and plays amazing and takes a step away from all the fps coming out this month. Sonic has been through some rocky times but this game shines brightly above the others. Sega has really took note of what fans asked and make this game a must have for anyone who has ever played sonic. The only complaint I have is why is my choa garden still not back yet. *hopefully in SA3* and the controls at time come off weird at times such as that split second jump you suddenly thought about at the last second but im sure only i second guess that much in games. So really go out and try the game youll love it. plus most all big name gamesites ign and destroid are giving the game high marks (GI is the only site to rate below a 70 so far on metacritic) But still its better than reading a review from someone who doesnt even understand why eggman is called eggman in the games (orginal japanese name) (and cant even tell the difference between metal sonic and mecha sonic)
Ok I'll keep this short and sweet. As I am not going to give it a high score just cause its scott or a old school brawler. I was raised on old school games like this and I'll admit the game gives great props to old games such as sonic and zelda. The levels are not to long or to short and have plenty of enemies. The graphics are very good and all the characters play the same for the most part with everyone having different tech attacks later on in the game as you level up. The main drawback is the amount of grinding and difficulty of the game. Even on the lowest setting this game is a pain at times as enemies will wall attack you and bounce you several times before they are done. Of course when you max out leveling the levels are not as hard but enemies can still be cheap at times. Also the game features co-op but no online because they wanted to keep to old school roots and keep it at just co-op. Several things about this. 1. Most of us grew up and no longer have friends with no life's who can just sit around and game it up like we used to. 2. If say you are already in a level you must restart to let you friend join. Or if a friend is playing with you and must suddenly leave you cannot simply exit his character you will either have to restart the entire level or go it alone at controlling two players. Besides these little annoyances the games still great.
Ive been waiting for this game for about a year simply cause i just got my ps3 about a year ago and choose to get it. I cant wait and the screens, gameplay, music, etc all look simply amazing. I plan to record the midnight launch monday and post a in detail review when i have it in my system.
