I really don't want to get excited. :/
Sonic Unleashed wasn't bad, but the Werehog levels far outnumbered the regular Sonic levels.. ____________________  |

Originally posted by GirlydragonOriginally posted by Colin At this point, I don't think any of the classic games would qualify as "getting it right" any more. Let's look at various complaints! Too many added characters: The series jumped from 2 characters up to 6 by the time of Sonic & Knuckles. Each game added at least one with the exception of Sonic Chaos and Sonic & Knuckles, and S&K added another Sonic clone anyway. At that point, the number of Sonic copies was up to 4. Hold-right-to-win gameplay: Name a first level in a Sonic game. It will be quickest won by holding right and jumping occasionally. Incidentally, these seem to be a lot of the most popular levels. (Other notes can be made of all the zigzagging paths that show up all over the place in which Sonic only has to let go of the controller and wind up somewhere down the path--Chemical Plant and Hydrocity, I'm looking at you.) Dash pads all over the place: Started in Chemical Plant, although they only showed up there and in Mystic Cave in Sonic 2. Sonic 3/K made an artform out of this--the only levels that lacked something resembling them were Angel Island, Marble Garden, Sandopolis, and Lava Reef. Death Egg gets special points for having long uncontrollable sections. Cheap deaths (often by bottomless pit): Play Sonic 1. Go anywhere with spikes. Well, at least in the original version. Green Hill Zone act 2's giant moving platforms get special attention here, as Sonic can easily run through their sides and off the bottom of the screen to his death. On a not-spikes-or-pits note, Sonic 1 brought Caterkillers and Yadrins (not to mention the Orbinauts in Labyrinth and Star Light and the bombs in Star Light), while Sonic 2 had those fireflies in Mystic Cave and the mantises in Metropolis, Sonic 3 had the pufferfish in Hydrocity, flying pufferfish in Marble Garden, and pseudo-Orbinauts in Icecap and Launch Base, and S&K had those spikey things in Death Egg (admittedly, not that tough with Sonic; same with the Orbinaut things in Icecap/Launch Base) and the Caterkillers in Sandopolis. Random glitches: Sonic 3's manual had a note saying that Robotnik had set traps that would be triggered by Sonic's speed, and that you would need to wait until the timer ran out (or hit the reset button) if you got stuck. I think that qualifies as "enough said". Everyone says they want it to go back to being just Sonic and Eggman, but by "Sonic" they seem to mean "Sonic and Knuckles and maybe Tails and Amy and Metal Sonic oh and Fang would be cool too". I'm not even going to speculate what would be good or bad or whatever that they could do, because pretty much everything would be "bad" to certain parts of the fanbase (bear in mind, there are people who consider the spindash to be the downfall of Sonic, or the pinnacle of Sonic games to be either Sonic 1 or Sonic CD). |

Originally posted by Skreeny The big difference between the new and the old here is that only 3 of those characters were playable, and only selectable for single player in sonic 3 and S&K. Compare that too the recent sonic 3D games that often have more than 6 playable characters, that all have to be played to reach the end. Originally posted by Skreeny My main complaint with the new games gameplay is the linearity, there's on path to take instead of the old ones very branching and different paths trough the levels. And one cannot deny that the sections that only involved watching has increased in the 3D ones. Originally posted by Skreeny I'm not gonna comment on this one because frankly I love dash pads, also never seen this mention before. Originally posted by Skreeny You call the enemies cheap deaths? It's piss easy to stock up on rings and get by, now bad camera placement and controls is a far worse cheap death. Originally posted by Skreeny I have had 1 one of those happen to me (although frequently) in my entire life whilst playing sonic 1 to 3, and I played it religiously. In short... I fail to see what you're getting at. :/ ____________________ |

I loved looking around or going back and getting more rings, but that damn timer was a pain in my ass.
