Sonic Adventure 2 gets the HD makeover for current generation gamers, but is it enough when the source is fundamentally broken.
Sonic Frontiers has won over Japan after years of poor sales.
For someone like me that started playing games at late 90s it was heartbreaking to see what happened to SEGA. Good to hear this because how things were going in the last years for them. I remember the time when they closed a lot of arcades in Japan. Or even when Microsoft almost bought them several years ago.
I have a feeling the sales will drop a ton the next week since everyone figured out it's barebones and a technical mess. Hype and name brand can only get you so far.
I wanted to like this game but they did everything possible to disappoint. Maybe they can use this as a stepping stone for a future title, but so far this isn't it.
For over thirty years, Sonic the Hedgehog has provided memorable video game music and brought many artists from around the world together.
Phil writes, "Today, June 23rd, 2021, is Sonic the Hedgehog's 30th anniversary. 30 years ago today in 1991 a blue hedgehog named Sonic took the gaming world by storm with a spin dash, a too-cool-for-school attitude, and a hankering for chili dogs. SPC celebrates the occasion with a special top ten list, presenting the site's picks for the very best of the Blue Blur's biggest and boldest titles. After you've checked out the picks here, which Sonic games would you select as your personal favorites?"
wheres sonic 06 lol. I know im in the minority but if you can look past all the glitches I actually liked the game.
I have played the game more than I'm willing to admit. Even beat all the DLC as well, and nearly S ranked everything including the DLC.
The game had good graphics for the time, and a fantastic soundtrack. If only it had an extra year of development it could have been a decent game. People keep harping on the kiss at the end of the game as if its a big deal. It really isn't (people kiss their cats and dogs all the time, and no one freaks out about that).
They try extra hard to hate on the game, and while it does have a multitude of unacceptable flaws and had serious development issues (Yuji Naka quit SEGA early on during the project which definitely caused some internal struggles at Sonic Team), there are some positive aspects about the game that people don't give it credit for.
Hmmm, this is kinda cheating, but I would rate Sonic 3 & Knuckles as #1, rather than having the two games separately occupy #2 and #3.
That was literally the only game I played for YEARS.
In any order
Sonic Adventure 1
Sonic Adventure 2
Sonic Heroes
Sonic Shuffle
Sonic Generations
Sonic Lost World
Sonic Unleashed
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Sonic CD
Sonic 3 & Knuckles
It seems to me like the person reviewing it expecting an enhanced port or a remake entirely. This was always announced as an HD re-release of the original .
I can only assume the "reviewer" isn't old enough to remember that SA2 was one of the best Sonic titles of it's time. Statements like " I hate this incomprehensible mess as much now as I did when I originally played it on the GameCube" lead me to believe this child of the modern age doesn't even appreciate that this title was released on the Dreamcast well before he had ever heard of it.
Then claiming that Sega "cut content to release as DLC" is also absurd. Should the "Battle" content been in the XBLA version for free? Sure, I agree. But they didn't "cut" anything - they released SA2 as it was originally released, and if you want the content that WAS ADDED later, you can add it. Nothing was "cut".
A hate and rage-fueled review of a game that is clearly before his generation is laughable at best. Good job trying to expand your gaming world, but hard fail at not being open to the realization that things existed before you.
HD wont make it any more fun than the original.. I have this & the first on gamecube still & not interested in buying it again.. I grew up playing sonic on genesis & the direction the series went, just isnt my cup of tea..
