Really? I think the music have been great in most sonic games as of late. (well, not all tracks of course)

Even though I don't buy the games I download several songs from the OST for each of the games. :o

That song is awesome by modern game standards, and I love that it is heavier! Seriously, if the music is awesome in this game, the rest of it can completely suck and I'll still have a blast with it.

You must either be hearing all the mediocre music and missing out on the great ones, or you have very specific tastes, because there are several games with awesome music in them out there. Yoko Shimomura never fails to deliver some awesome soundtracks. I can name at least 7 games just from the past 3 years.



I must say I am looking forward to this game, music and all.

Yeah, just about all the Sonic games bar the crummier Game Gear releases, Sonic 4, Sonic Chronicles, and Sonic and the Black Knight have pretty good tracks on them.

I actually like the music on Sonic 4, and some of music might be okay in the later sonic games, but to me they don't have that "Sonic" feel to them, and most of the time it's either too perky and cheesy for me, or it just fade sinto the background. I'm thinking in particular of the Sonic Adventure games. Some songs are good sure, and the games are enjoyable. I even rock out in the car to some songs from the Sonic Adventure games and Shadow the Hedgehog, but then you have crap like Knuckles raps and songs about flying high and rainbows and shit. When I think 'Awesome Sonic Music" I think the theme from Panic Puppet Zone act 2, or the theme from Collision Chaos, or pretty much anything from Sonic 3 and Knuckles. I want to think of speed, and saving the world from machines in the most bad ass way possible. My favorite stuff sounds dark and like shit is at stake.

My main complaint with most modern game soundtracks (which admittedly my exposure is probably not as much as most people here) is that even if the music is good, it's quite forgettable. Most stuff seems to throw everything in the world in there including a full blown orchestra, but in the end, there's no hummable tune or anything that has a good beat to it. Take Super Paper Mario. The soundtrack for that game is highly complex, and yes it's good, but there is only one song in the entire game that stands out to me and that is this one. It has a good beat, a clear melody I can hum all day, and its darker and sounds kick ass. Even in Super Mario Galaxy, I don't think there is anything in there I can hum unless it's a remix of an old song.

I guess you can just say I prefer 16-bit era music as far as games are concerned. Modern games, even if the soundtracks are phenomenal, just don't have that same charm to me.

SPM had other great memorable songs too. Heh.

> 'm not really feeling the whole 'colour' system at the moment, mainly because I'm not sure how core it will be to getting through levels.

From what I've seen, it seems that you can beat the level with normal sonic, but if you want to find all 5 red rings each stage or S rank the level, you will need them.

Which is cool with me, as they seem to complement his speed. (From the recording of someone playing the demo of candyworld anyway)

See I never cared for that one. That's just another song that's forgotten and fades into the background for me. I much preferred the song from the rest of Castle Bleck, and really that's just because when you get down to it, it's just an overly complicated remix of the original underground theme, but it's done well and captures the tone of what's going on. Good for that level, not memorable outside of the game.

As for Sonic colors, I'm pretty liberal when it comes to newer Sonic Games, so unless they do something to completely ruin this (like god awful controls) I'm probably really going to enjoy this.

As a person who prefers to hum/sing music instead of using an MP3 Player when I'm out and about, I must disagree with you. I can hum almost all of the soundtrack to both games as well as SMG2 just fine. I will agree with you, there are soundtracks now that are a little too complex to easily hum, with Mario Kart Wii coming to mind as the prime example. Of all the tracks in the game, half of them are just too busy to recall easily. But then again, maybe it's just me.


I'm going to avoid listening to more of the soundtrack until release, because I don't want the experience of the music spoiled before experiencing the game. Hearing it for the first time when it's in the place it's meant to be is when game soundtracks are at their best.

Oh yeah, I do agree with this! I like to be surprised by the music, and first hear it alongside it's intended imagery. But yeah, everyone is going to have a different opinion when it comes to what music is "good" or not. It's just a matter of personal taste.

I can't wait for a high quality rip of this song, or the official ost in December.

SMS/GG Sonic wasn't that bad actually... at least the first one. Companies these days wouldn't put so much effort into the inferior console port; then again, the SMS was thriving in Europe and Brazil then.

Nintendo gave it a 9.0, and a 4 page review apparently.

I wanna play it. :3

Ok, this is actually looking really cool and that review just confirms it. Sonic is finally breaking out of the crap game cycle.
Nothing but clear sailing for Sega from here on out!

No, I didn't mean Bridge Zone/Sonic 1 GG. I meant those later weird ones.

Watch Sonic at 0:16.


It might take a bit of getting used to, but I say their new voices aren't bad.

As much as I miss Sonic's voice from Adventure 1 and 2, this isn't half bad. And I'm REALLY happy with Tails' voice. For the first time in years it's not super-high pitched and whiny!

I like how everyone has crossed over into Genre Savvy. It's nice to see a not serious sonic.

Edit: I knew I knew tails' voice. That's Sakura from Naruto.
