Title: Wow...I just played Sonic Rush
Post by: Superyoshi on December 30, 2005, 11:56:38 pm
...and man does it suck.  I expected good things, like the original Sonic Advance.  But no, it's exactly like things like Sonic Advance 2 (Run.  That's it.). but with crappy 3D graphics in sprite backgrounds.

Congratulations, Sega.  I hope you had fun with the Sonic series.  Please kill him soon.

Kill Sonic? But I enjoyed him in Sonic Battle.... He has a gem or two still! They won't ever compare to the originals, but still, some are good!

Or maybe it's better to snuff him while he's down.

Yeah yeah, we all know that Sega has destroyed Sonic like a bazillion times already (coughSonicXcough)

Run.  That's it.

Yeah...that's GENERALLY what you have to do in the majority of Sonic games.  It's primarily what you had to do in the original games (Sonic 1-3, Sonic CD), so why not in Rush?

Here's what you don't get.  I haven't played Sonic Rush much but lemme ask you this.  Close your eyes while playing Sonic Advance 2 and do nothing but hold right.  You'll be surprised by the results.

Yeah you did only play it for 5 minutes or so XD. But I guess that's all it takes...

I would'nt waste my money on any of those for the GBA. I had the mispleasure of receiving sonic advance as a gift. It sucked hardcore.

Some good things just shouldn't be messed with.

I would like to see a revival of all the classic system games. 8, 16 bit and otherwise

Honestly, Sonic Advance 1 wasn't that bad a game.  No where near as great as the originals, but it wasn't a horrible game.  Around Sonic Advance 2 is where the series turned to crap.

What?! I've been looking forward to this game, and it apparently sucks? GAH! Now I'm pissed! I will not tolerate any more mediocre Sonic games! (Sonic Heroes, Sonic Advance 2, Sonic Advance 3) At least I still have the Revolution Sonic title to look forward to.

Hey, Sonic Advance 1 was a great game! Maybe I'm just comparing it to the 3D Sonic games, but I found it just great. Much better than those lame GameGear games, anyway ><

Eh, I'll have to side with you on that one.  The Game Gear games DID suck out loud.

They were cool to play on the go, anyway...

Still, I'd rather play Link's Awakening or Pokemon on the go.

Maybe that's cause I never had a Game gear as a kid.  I remember always begging my parents to get it, too, heh.

I wouldn't count on it now, I think I shall turn my back on Sonic (except for the old games) for good.

I'm with you there.

Although because of obvious reasons, the advance titles are bound to be better than the gamegear, I still thought that the new graphics, control and all around layout of the game was bad compared to the originals. In those first games, the controls were tight, the character's responded well, generally and the layout of the levels made it out for smooth and yet challenging the first few times around. In advance 1 which I did finish, I thought the new graphics made for sloppy control. The levels seemed over simplified. It isn't the worst (3d blast?) but just the same, its not like it used to be.

Yeah, me too, Syoshi. I don't even know why I brought that up ><

First of all, I OWN the game, and LOVE it.  Just because there's a difference of opinion doesn't mean EVERYONE thinks it sucked.

Oh, and last time I checked, Sonic 15th was only slated for release on PS3 and Xbox 360.  WHY they aren't putting it on Revolution is BEYOND my comprehension...

The real question is, does Nintendo WANT any more Sonic games?

Sonic Advance 2 wasn't that bad.

People hated is just because it was harder than a preist at a play ground.

Eh, but Sonic Rush is very lame.

Blaze the Cat is yet another pointless anthromorphic charcter that SEGA shoved down our throats.

Just wait til you see Sonic Riders. No less than 5 new characters introduced thus far. >_<

SA2 being hard was the only redeeming factor, if you ask me.

SA 2 wasn't hard, it was just the God-awful camera that resulted in you falling off the level 20+ times.

I thought that was due to the poor collision detection.

And the horrible movement and lip sync during the cutscenes was a sight for sore eyes if you ask me.

The only thing I liked about it was some of the music =P

That reminds me. I do like the music for the Sonic games, even if the game is bad itself, but Sonic Rush changed that. I swear to god the music gets so annoying I just turn the sound off or just don't play the game altogether.

I was talking about Sonic Advance 2, not Adventure. Those games suck.

Ah, Sonic Advance 2 went from too easy to too annoying.

Seriously, play the first few levels and to nothing but hold right.  That's not exactly fun.  Then the game gets into the whole "Go too fast and you'll die" thing which REALLY pissed me off.

LEIK ZOMG PROOF PLZ

Also, practically ALL the 3-D Sonic games have had camera troubles, even Shadow the Hedgehog (which we liked).
