The Official Sonic the Hedgehog thread

Indy: When I asked, I wanted it to be someone else. Next week is finals week/Thanksgiving so I’ll be swamped with work/school/family vacations.

However, I will be telling you all where I am at a certain point of game. Also, someone who has the 360 version (KYO84 or else), is the new Hedgehog Engine really that good? I cant be waiting till December to play the PS3 version at my uncle’s.

the engine is great…faster…graphics and physics are sick…

but since alot people dont care about that I guess it doesnt matter

Dammit…my wii classic controller just crapped out on me… I bought the damn thing two days ago too! When will people learn that the only controller you’ll ever need is a dual shock 2? Gah…looks like its time to go to the store.

I dont know if the Werehog movie has been posted yet but here it is.

that was pretty entertaining! I’m digging the recent animation style that Sonic team has now…I hope they keep it and improve on it. I wouldn’t mind seeing more stuff like this. It looks Pixarish almost.

I’ve chosen not move to a different zone until I have 90-100% on all the Sonic/Werehog stages in that particular zone including all the bonus Chili Dog Vendor side quest. I’m almost done with Mazuri, oh and Lol @ Sonic’s Shoryuken, Sho-Hog-Ken.

broken controller or not I’m making good progres…so far all of sonic’s bosses have been amazing.

Edit: dear god eggmanland was a bitch!

I haven’t gotten anywhere near that yet…I just got to Shamar.

What the hell has Amy been doing to ‘help’ the proffesor? O.o?

You don’t wanna know lol.

Yeah I probably don’t…I’m pretty sure she ain’t helping him decipher those gaia manuscripts though.

1 UP review on 360 version:
http://www.gamerankings.com/itemrankings/launchreview.asp?reviewid=979962

2 things I see wrong after my first read through is the supposedly clumsy mapping of the sidestep on the controllers to the shoulder buttons…uh…what? Has anyone else had a problem with those?..cause I haven’t…not on the wii version at least. 2nd thing being 15 minutes on one werehog stage? That’s gotta be player error unless the 360 stages are longer. I’m passing the werehog act stages in the 7-10 minute range on the clock…how are these guys in there for 15 minutes?

In the middle of fighting the last boss. Word of advice, no matter how down you get about this game, the end is totally worth it! And the music is top tier!

The super sonic bit is no push over…but oh soo much fun! back to trying to beat him

The only stages I can see maybe taking that long are the eggmanland stages but even then I was done in 10 minutes on those.

Eggmanland = Hades in GOW. A necessary evil to get to the goods.

Edit: This comment made me laugh my ass off

“Sonic Dash on the Ds was the last good Sonic game, it just shows that you can’t mess with the formula-keep it 2D Sega. Sonic & Castlevania games always suck when they go 3D, why on earth can’t both Sega & Konami see this…well at least Konami does put out the 2D Castlevania’s out on handhelds thanks to Iga but still insist on putting out the 3D one’s as well that tarnish the franchise.”

WTF! Have you guys played Sonic Dash? Would you recommend picking it up?

  1. Do they mean Sonic Rush? If so, yes Sonic Rush is awesome. If not, when the hell did a “Sonic Dash” come out on DS?

  2. This 3D Sonic is awesome, so that guy can STFU.

Sonic Rush is Dimps’ worst Sonic. It is an annoying game with annoying stages, annoying music and tedious boss fights. That said, it’s still much better than the worst of Sonic altogether. If you’ve played any of the Advance games though, they blow Rush right out of the water. If you haven’t, I suggest you do.

Can’t say anything for Sonic Rush Adventure. The first Rush left such a bad taste in my mouth that I wasn’t exactly jumping up and down to try it. I have heard it is much much better overall, though.

I’ll agree the music wasn’t great. But the levels and new gameplay mechanics were fun. The boss fights were hit-or-miss, some were quite good, others not so much. Rush Adventure is better overall, except that the hovercraft and submarine stages are boring, and the very first boss fight sucks really bad.

I didn’t find them much fun, myself. Every stage I was hoping would be over soon; and that’s not a good thing in my eyes.

Oh well, Dimps has not one but three amazing portable Sonic games. They’re allowed a less than stellar one every so often.

What are these hovercraft and submarine stages?

You have to use watercrafts to get to the different levels. The Jetski stages are really good though, I liked them a lot.

And Advance 2 is easily the worst Dimps Sonic. 90% of the game is just hold right. Occassionally tap U+R.

im loving this game… best sonic game to come out imo… Rooftop Run for sonic is my favorite stage so far

How long did it take you guys to figure out that you can only do the spinning pile driver after a shoryuken?

I figured it out pretty quick actually because I was just mashing buttons at first before I went in the pause menu to learn his combos lol.
