  • Sonic is Slow again

    O.K.

    Sonic was never as fast as the name suggested.

    But this game defies any hardcore sonic maniac fan to pick up and Xbox 360 controller and play this.

    The loading screens are abysmally long, taking hours off your gaming time, and all over, thoroughly spoiling your entire gaming experience.

    Next of all, there is a lot of unneccesary dialogue which can tend ot long conversations which is a sin in all games except RPG's.

    Also there is a romance line in this installment of Sonic's travels, a Princess Elise.

    Hang On, wait. Haven't I seen this before?

    A plucky hero rushes to save a Princess captured by an evil monster?

    Hmm... SEGA are getting a bit sloppy on their stories...

    Mario & Zelda have beaten them to it.

    Not a hope in heaven's chance of this game being worth the cost.

    Order the demo, yes indeed, buy a Wii, sell your Xbox 360, buy Sonic & the Secret Rings (only on Wii) and remember,

    This was just a mistake.

    Wow is all I can say. This game is hands down one of the worst titles I have ever played. Either if you're new to the series or if you've been a fan since the 16-bit era like me, this game offers nothing worth picking up the pad for.

    There are loading screens for loading screens, problems with scripted sequences not working correctly, glitches that have you flying through the sky-box... the game even willingly gives you an ability that lets you jump out of the level geometry (with little to no effort needed.) The story is appalling (something akin to a really bad b-movie written by a thirteen year old) and the voice acting will make you wish to lose your ability to hear.

    I can imagine kids getting some enjoyment from this... but literally only to the point of 'It's got Sonic in it!' Even so, there are far better Sonic-y offerings on the Xbox 360 and PS3 for kids (eg. Sonic & SEGA Racing, Sonic Generations.)

    Very poor, don't waste your time with it.

  • Bugs glitches and Looooong loading times let it down

    What can I say

    An ok sonic game for fans however should have been polished more before release as its full of Bugs glitches and the Looooong loading times let it down.

    Graphics are ok for its time of release

    I have been a fan of a few sonics but instead of them getting better they seem to be getting worse. Everything about this game is terrible. I would not recommend this game to anyone even sonic fans and definately not people who havent played sonic before.

    Sure the game isnt like the Sonic games in the past but it is still fun to play,

    I really dont agree with people giving the game a rating of just because its not a 2D side scroller or whatever,

    I think the game was ment more for younger people,'the new generation', which they would enjoy more than something made 15-20 years ago,

    so... If ur a fan of the old Sonic - DONT expect it to be like the old Sonic,

    and if ur new to the Sonic games then you will probably have fun playing this one,

    well worth renting or even buying
