I hate what Sonic's become and I don't think a 70 odd metacritic score redeems him at all, but I'm glad some believers still exist and will happily involve in a sort-of revival.

I just wish classic Sonic was the "always" design. Seeing him finally in 3D feels like, the first time I've ever seen Sonic in 3D. It's a kinda surreal feeling of rediscovery, like my discarded childhood is coming back.

Then the furfag adored green eyed Sonic with the ugly proportions and unexpressive attitude, trashy voice acting and dumb rock leitmotif comes blasting in to steal screen time. Turns a perfectly gold childhood reunion sour, reminding me of ADHD children drawing a metric fuckton of poorly done Sonic styled fanart over DA and proudly declaring recolours as new characters.

It's a good game by the looks of it, I saw DSP's playthrough an' all.

I just don't like that they acknowledged my favourite character and childhood hero exists as a separate entity while promising me he'll never be a mainstay.

Someone should've stayed away from Sonic 2006... :awesome:

I'll be the first to say modern Sonic hasn't had the best start, but games like this, Sonic Colors, and Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 kinda make me glad we have him. All of the most recent games haven't been bad.

...Just a vast majority of them.

I don't mind modern Sonic in this game at all, I just wish they had left out some and/or all of these newer characters. Like Amy. How is she a good character? The moment she popped up I was like, "Ugh no..."

Other than that I'm liking the game so far. :)

It's also interesting that the game seems to be implying that
Classic Sonic is actually Modern Sonic when he was a kid. Yay time travel.

Everyone should have stayed away from Sonic 2006.

Yes, classic Sonic, is younger Sonic. :monster:

Sonic 2006 is like the blackest sore on Sonic's reputation. Hell, I'll take Shadow the Hedgehog over that game.

But it's amazing how fucking awesome it's music is. And Crisis City is probably one of the most badass levels of the modern era.

Hahaha it was like a horror movie when someone brought that over "LOOK, ANYONE OF US COULD'VE PLAYED IT, WE COULD ALL DIE- OH GOD THEY GOT HER"

Ahem. I didn't play it.

God tier
Sonic
Sonic 2
Sonic 3/&K

High Tier
Sonic Rush
Sonic Jam

Decent Tier
Sonic Adventure

Sonic Colours
Sonic Generations
Advance

Passable Tier
Sonic Rush Adventure
Sonic Heroes
Sonic Rivals
Advance 2
Advance 3

Deploy Tactical Nuclear Warstrike

I played most of these except the last two and generations, I think. Oh and Unleashed but all opinions I heard are polarized, so I don't know where it'd go.

Sonic Generations belongs in God Tier, or High Tier, at least. :monster:

I agree with everything else. Pretty spot on.

That good huh. I'll give it a try. It's the one non bottom I didn't play, yeah.

I would caution against relying on Metacritic scores for ANYTHING.

Amy's older than Knuckles.

The new characters don't even do anything, they're just there for completeness' sake. I don't mind them.

Also the Metal Sonic race was sweet.

I CAN SEE TENNYO PLAYING IT AND I'M SO JEALOUS NAO D:

(even though it's only a few more hours before I can play it too ;_; )

I squeed when I played Chemical Plant zone as Classic Sonic. It swear that has to be a 3D recreation of the first act from Sonic 2.

DId you go to the skill shop yet? Music is awesome :P

Also, I had heard that you could change the song in the level, but I thought that seemed silly just to put chemical plant on another level or something. But you actually unlock all kinds of songs from the series like the first level of Sonic Spinball (which has a sweet soundtrack), so I like that idea more now.

I have gotten to the Skill shop. Squeed as well. And at all the songs that I'm unlocking. I just unlocked Sonic Boom. :awesome:

And I just found Metal Sonic chillin' next to a Chaos Emerald. I'm thinking time to race? :P

I listened to most of the tracks on youtube and, yeah...me gusta. :awesome:

Crisis City Classic kinda sounds like something out of Sonic CD. I wonder if N. Hataya arranged that one...

Okay, the race with Metal Sonic, I actually found myself smiling like an idiot afterwards. I didn't even realize I was doing it at first. :P

Not yet...what even compelled you to try that? lol. I'll try it tonight.

I'm really taking my time with this, I haven't even gotten to City Escape yet, I went through the Genesis levels then started working on the challenges, I S-ranked all the Green Hill Zone challenges, but I dunno if I'll quite have the patience to do that with everything. But I'm definitely milking this game for all it's worth - and it's a ton of damn fun.
