[QUOTE="Thug_Pikachu"][QUOTE="Dr_Evil_PhD"]

[QUOTE="Thug_Pikachu"]there should be a rule against hyping Sonic games. I'm guessing it got a pathetic score of something like this 7.5,7.0,8.0 and sheep will rave about the controlscamzaman

you do know that 7.0-8.0 are good scores right? :?

not in my book .

You're just as stupid as a stuffy movie critic.


Wow, wow, easy. Not everyone has the same base level expectancy from a game. To say that he's stupid because he doesn't like 7s or low 8s is flawed. I'm on the same boat as him and I consider myself selective.

[QUOTE="Kaarstein"][QUOTE="Truth01"]
Couple of examples? Oh, when I say 8 I mean low 8, like 8.2
Truth01
Beyond Good & Evil 8,2 Clubhouse Games 8,0 Killer7 8,3 Sonic Rush 8,2 Sorry for taking so long, my PC is garbage and acting up again :(


Interesting. To play devil's advocate, Beyond good and evil is a high 8 on Game Ranks, Both Clubhouse Game and Sonic Rush are on a hand held, which seem to get a lot low 8s in general. I can't explain Killer 7, maybe you're nuts :P

Its not just handhelds that get much low-to mid AA, many good console games also do that, that dosent mean its bad. Even Gamespot themselves say its GREAT. But to point out the game we were arguing about Crackdown, wich got 84% on gamerakings so that is very decent there. And usually I dont pay much attention to a games score, only for SW purpose and if its a 9-high 8 or very low :P Usually I read the review and decide if I think the game sounds good or not. :)

That one reviewer who kept nagging on it's flaws and said oh it's awful is a bad reviewer. I don't suspect him to be around my summers time as a EGM reviewer

Wow, the game does look fun.. . I see what they're getting at though, Sonic Team kept the OMG LETS PUT MORE CRAP THAN WE HAVE TO IN TEH GAMEZ!!! thing it seems... While I expect a 7.5-8.0 from EGM, I say that's an accomplishment for a Sonic game...

It looks extremely fun, havent seen the video yet because my PC is acting up. But if you want to see more, go to IGN http://media.wii.ign.com/media/800/800277/vids_1.html Lots and lots of gameplay videos :D

I pray they didn;t say "Funner than any 3d sonic so far"......if so the editor should be shot.....Omni-Slash
I watched it and it's Greg who says it but in his defense he never played Sonic Adventure 1; I'm not sure if he mentioned 2 though.

Yeah totally, you need to look past the score and read the review to figure out if you're going to like it. Also you need to be able to analyse the score yourself, example: why did Carbon get 7.5 Well it felt to similar to the other games.

With that said though, I'm far less likely to read a review or even consider a game if it's in the low 8s or 7s, but that's more of general rule for me and not law.

Well I can right now use Kid Icarus as an example (I know its a VC game), it got 5.1 but I am still gonna buy it because I know I like the game. And I never finished it on NES because I never owned a NES, but had to borrow my best friends NES from time to time :cry:

They did both agree that it's the best Sonic game in 7 years.  There have been some decent Sonic games in the last 7 years.Firelore29

Please don't tell me sonic rush. Uggg, that was not a fun sonic.

I'm going to get flamed to hell and back for this but, might as well say it: I believe this may help end those stupid "Wii has yet to make any game look as good as ninja gaiden".

I liked it. :?

It felt horribly abandoned, like robotnik did nothing to stop you but desine extremely over the top levels. Maybe it's jsut me as I spend my days developing levels, but I felt it's levels were the poorest I've ever seen. They had no reason at all. Look at sonic 3, you reached in the first level a waterfall, and had to reach the top going back and fourth climging a bit higher each pass.

Now look at sonic rush, you run forward, you run forward, you occassionally get turned upsidown, you do the occasional jump across a pit, there may be 2 or 3 enemies around the level. Things like the boulders chasing you just didn't happen for a reason, you're just running down a hill and then a boulder comes up behind you. You do nothing diffrently because of the boulder, you just hold down forward as you always do.

There was a large veriety of enemies in sonic 3, such as the fliers that shot at you, the people who popped out of the ground, the ghost, in sonic rush it's generic robot with a gun, generic flying robot which never actually is a thret to you, some with a sepcial attack which will be off the screen before that attack can be any kind of a thret.

Thats a better review then we have been seeing lately with the sonic games. I was wanting this game to turn out good. I just need a few more reviews and if it keeps getting positive scores I'll pick it up for sure.

I strangely really liked Sonic Adventure 2, Only  the Sonic platforming lvls and races ,not the "minigames" required in the game like flying around at some catbat or shotting a baddy with a gun.

there should be a rule against hyping Sonic games. I'm guessing it got a pathetic score of something like this 7.5,7.0,8.0 and sheep will rave about the controlsThug_Pikachu
Since when was 8.0 a pathetic score? As opposed to the 3s and 4s that Sonic 360 earned from reviewers?

Does anyone know the score yet? I think a 7.5 and up is awesome for a 3d sonic game to stand out.

I LOVE SA2B, still play it from time to time. And I love Sonic and Shadows levels, but I also like Knuckles and Rogues levels, I also like the music alot, but I hate Tails and Eggmans levels. Wich is a shame because Tails was my favorite in Sonic 2 and 3 :( And why did they need to give Tails such a whiney personality, that was not what I imagined when I played it on Mega Drive :evil:

Wouldnt that be a very good score for a 3D Sonic game? And its hyped A-AA so those scores are what we think it will be :?

I love how mods say right after the TP review and before the game had launched that everybody hadn't played the game yet so they should wait to form opinions... but you seem quite sure before the game has even came out...

The sad part is, if it scores over 8.5, and sells well, it will be ported to ps3.
