Damnit Fernando! I wanted to be first...:(

I didn't get the Secret Rings game. I just didn't think it would be play well with the Wiimote to be honest.

It's alright but you play a level and enjoy it, good job. But before you move on, you have to play the level again... but this time, smash all the pots. Next, dodge all the p[ots. Now a time trial.

It's another game that was ruined pandering to people who bitch about a game that's fun, but short.

Actually, Fernando, Sonic Robo Blast 2 is the best 3D Sonic game. www.srb2.org

SEGA should seriously hire these guys, Sonic Team Jr. knows how to make Sonic in 3D better than the actual Sonic Team does.

Actually, if Sega is anything like Square, Nintendo, and others, Sonic Team Jr better hope they stay under the radar lest lawsuits come their way...

Sonic Adventure 2 proves Fernando wrong.

I liked secret rings and I liked the replay value. I didn't like when it got impossibly gran turismo style hard.

I think I put about 25-30 hours into it all told.

Nope, Sonic Adventure 2 currently proves Fernando right...

@Sir Fidilious Wong: You're right, though it seems as though SEGA isn't like that since there's many fangames and there's been no problems so far. Still, I suppose if it got popular enough then they'd go after them. Who did Nintendo shut down?

Nintendo shut me down x(

Seriously. I announced on my deviant art page that I was going to make a new 3D Donkey Kong remake except I'd have theme skins which could be applied and updated gameplay. I showed off some concept art of "Cabinet Classic"(Mario and characters based off the original cabinet artwork), "8 Bits", and "Emo Scene" character reworks. Before I could finish modeling the Cabinet Classic Mario, I had a note through my account from Nintendo requesting I cease and desist the project.

Nintendo shut down a few reworks, actually. Because I had a friend who got his letter while working on a cel shade style (prerendered art) rework of the original Kirby.

Fernando you are right. Maybe.

I just haven't bothered with 3D Sonics for such a long time. Got a DC a few years back and played some of the Cube 3D sonics before declaring the bastard dead.

The DS Sonics are a bit terrible too. I blame the altered Sonic physics just there to mess things up.

Secret Rings most glaring mistake was the fact that it deliberately retarded (yes, appropriate term, the PC police don't have to go nuts) the game's mostly brilliant (damn reversing mechanism) controls by making you unlock better controls in an EXP-styled system

If Secret Rings had had the optimum controls from the start, all its metacritic scores would've been upped by 20%, easily, it turned off a lot of people who only played a short instance of it

I would list all the faults, but Joystiq don't let me exceed more than 2GB per comment.

LOL Fernando... So, so true! But to explain further, when I *mistakenly* purchased

SONIC THE HEDGEHOG for PS3(I call it a mistake, because since I wasn't drunk at the time, I can't blame it on inebriation);

Hence the reoccurring joke--- err, reality of that game. :\ Turned me off from playing RIDERS, SECRET RINGS, and even that recent DS game.

Oh Foxhound

Sonic Rush Adventures 1 and 2 for the DS are in a totally different categories... those are actually pretty good.

They sucked, lol, thats what was wrong.

Ok, I'll tell you the main reasons why once the comments are loaded...

Or maybe they should give him cool transformations... like a wolf or something...

Oh wait...

Maybe give him powers to shoot fire and bees from his hands, and hold wrenches!


Oh wait...

Maybe they should FIND THE COMPUTER ROOM! Right guys? Computer room?

...You know what? Fuck post-Sonic Adventure 2 SEGA.

If his rings become portals, I'm gonna crap myself.

speedy thing goes in, speedy thing comes out

and yet again, foiled by the reply button.

I loved the Original Sonic Adventure on Dreamcast as well. I actually borrowed the Dreamcast from my nephew a while back just to play it and an Marvel VS Capcom again. Part 2 wasnt all that good IMO.

Hey Fenix...

I can totally beat you in Marvel vs Capcom =p

HA!!! Your lucky they havent put it on XBLA or I'd burry you! =P Do you have Super Streetfighter II Turbo? Lets do this!

Oh, nearly forgot.

Dreamcast Forever! How I miss 2001 :\

Both Sonic Adventure games were pretty good. At this point, I'm ecstatic about a game more akin to SA3.

The only thing I never liked from the Adventure games were the additional characters, Okay Rouge is passable but seriously Shadow? The dark hedgehog? I mean why they didn't stick with Metal Sonic (Thinking about it Metal Sonic never was badass but you get the point).

I don't know.. Metal Sonic on Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was impossible.

I had like 30 lives... didn't beat him.

I have no idea why.

Oh well Metal Madness is f*cking badass.I was talking about Metal Sonic in General.

@Ignatius

Here's a tip: fight metal sonic with the sound off. Trust me. I swear that music is some kinda subliminal psychological warfare.

I miss the old Sonic Adventure games so much...Next to messing around in levels on Sonic 2 with Knuckles, or playing other old games, to me those were so far the last games of Sonic. Sonic Advance did a pretty good job of capturing the old sonic games. Maybe they should learn from Nintendo and reuse everything for their next games, not only does it work, but you keep your fans.

Really? I loved Adventure 2, prolly my favorite Sonic game of all, or at least tied with Sonic & Knuckles

Adventure, however, i found to be rather disjointed. 2 decent-sized stories > 6 short stories

If you like SONIC THE HEDGEHOG for PS3, you can have my copy. It's currently being used as a beer mug coaster in my living room.


I'm serious.

:(

I don't have a PS3. My friend does but he's already got the game...

...I'm speaking straight from the heart: both of these games are good. The problems with the PS3/360 versions have been greatly exaggerated - from the time I spent with it.

I have a that if this was a Mario game all of the critics would have been all over it. There'd route inside their dictionaries for grander hyperbolic praise: "Mario is here. Let’s just get everybody together. Let’s get unified. The sky will open. The lights will come down. Celestial choirs will be singing and everyone will know we should do the right thing and the world will be perfect".

But because it's Sonic, and it's cool to dislike Sonic, everyone shits on the hog.

Stop shitting on the hog people.

It's meant to say: if this was a Mario game.

I don't know what happened there.

But Mario plays good, 3D sonic is boring, half of the focus on sped is lost and spent walking and smashing boxes and crap, if not, attempting to jump onto something or railslide or some other crap.

Its also got all these pokemon looking creatures and more and more cheezy characters joining the list.

Mario characters I know, they have never changed, but Sonic characters seem to keep coming, how many other coloured Sonic lookalikes could you possibly get in the game, we've had Blue, Red, White, Black and Red, what next, a green sonic lookalike?

On top of that, I find its gotten more childish and stupidly easy to play, Sonic used to be a speed and tactic game, now its just about taking everything out and reaching the end of the level. Bit boring.

Sonic games just aren't as fun as they used to be, to this day I love picking up old sonic games and replaying, new ones I would never touch.

Oh gosh, I responded to you somewhere else, Saturn. :)

I don't want to get into the childish issue with you again...

...with that said, I don't know what you want.

Do you want new characters or not? New styles of play or the same old?

People are going to bitch anyway. Sonic Team should just ignore the fans and do what they feel is best.

If they ignored the fans then maybe Shadow the Hedgehog wouldn't exist.
