The Official Sonic the Hedgehog thread

So tell me, the final definitive answer, Sonic Unleashed on ps3, get or don’t get?

Btw this is a guy who played nearly every Sonic game, couldn’t stand some of the latter ones but tolerated them anyway, except Sonic '06 which I never finished because it loaded so long at one point I thought my copy was broke and returned it but then later found out that’s just how Sonic '06 loads.

I say Yes; the running stages in the game are pretty good and you can get more via DLC.

Thanks for the help, guys. I’ll probably pick up Sonic Rush Adventure first, then Sonic Unleashed on PS2.

Yeah Mike, if you can tolerate the other 3D Sonics, definitely check out PS3 Unleashed. The daytime stages are awesome.

I survived Sonic The Hedgehog 2006

points that stuck out to me

sonic
-Elise
-Test of Love
-getting saved twice from death

  • Knuckles as a support character
  • useless gems that you buy AFTER you beat the game?

Silver

  • 30 percent of his story looking for sonic, all amy had to say was “blue hedgehog” and silver would be like “IBLIS TRIGGER!!” bam problem solved
  • If silver really wanted to kill sonic who could have used physchokenisis on amy and went for the kill
    -Blaze and the sonic rush non-sense

Shadow

  • Vehicles
  • shadow being defeated by omega in the future
    -working for GUN when they to tried to kill him in SA2

End of the world

  • Eggman being alive,he’s standing right there with no protection…OFF HIM…hell if shadowTH did anything it was the optional ending in which shadow kills eggman with a karate chop
    -necro and beast modes for elise

shadow’s story was decent

overall I feel ripped off doing the fact that I use glitches to S rank stages and dying because of the camera…I think Sega did a subliminal message in saying the story never happened…good call

Well…at least the game has awesome music…Amirite guys!? hooo boy…

and you made me lol remembering that chop Shadow gave Eggman. Thinking about it…I forget how exactly Omega said he went about defeating Shadow. Maybe he has some small piece of kryptonite on him a …wait thats superman. Maybe Omega just randomly waltzed up on Shadow like they were cool or something and cold clocked him like a wrestler turning heel.

J.R.: They’re shaking hands in the ring! …OMG OMG OMG! Omega just hit shadow over the head with a chair shot!

@ people thinking about getting Unleashed now

Yes go do it. I don’t know what everyone else is selling the game for right now but currently we’re selling it for 19.99. That’s definitely worth it IMO.

omega said that shadow grew to powerful…people saw him as a threat and wanted him dead…

shadow fought back and im assuming killed all who stood in the way…

awesome music? Sweet Dream Featuring Akon (sonic and elise’s main theme) shivers

Dreams of Absoultion secretly a rip off of Cher’s do you beileve in love?

That wasn’t all of it though. [media=youtube]OGQXQkyGMNM&feature=PlayList&p=ED94C25EA4BED71D&index=1"]Apparently the world goes to shit and they need somone to blame so Shadow ends up getting lynched for it (6:11). And when Mephiles mentions Omega taking Shadow down Omega is just like [. Thinking back on it now I’d definitely have to call bullshit on it. If shadow wanted to he could easily wreck Omega. I’m not even talking about with one emerald on him either…just him taking off the power restrictors would be enough. Chaos Blast…GGPO.

I liked a good majority of 2006’s music and that includes Sweet Dream cause it’s a throwback to the ending track to Sonic 2 which of itself was taken from Masato Nakamura’s group…though Akon showing up is a bit random. Can’t really see too much semblence between cher’s song and Dreams of Absolution besides maybe some far fetching subtlties…that’s about it though.

I’ve already mentioned before but the Crisis City tracks were great…especially [media=youtube]DdA4xHpTOYc"]The Flames](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTfoF1J13RE&feature=PlayList&p=ED94C25EA4BED71D&index=11"[/media). Most of the Stage music in this game I thought was awesome. Aquatic Base with it’s [URL=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmP3E9ZEKhU”[/media]. The only tracks I didn’t like really were Elise’s theme, The Town Accordian track, and the town mission music.

I did like sonic 2006 despite the problems. I feel that if the game doesn’t have any annoying load times or glitches, it would have been a solid game with good reviews. Sonic 2006 feels like the older sonic adventure games. Some of the stages are actually pretty awesome. Wave ocean looks nice and crisis city is epic. I feel like playing the game again.

DON’T JUMP! Your life can get better man!

I brought the DLC because apparently you need it get some acheivements…why? I wanted to see what Team Amigo was…it was ok to me…its just stages going backwards…but you have to finish it all in one go…3 tails, 3,blaze, 2 omega

wait are we pointing out positive things about the game:wow:?

man,sega update with some new news please

Haven’t heard anything on the racing game and I’m unsure whether that’s a good or bad thing. TGS will be in Sept. this year according to wiki.

Haha, I just played sonic 2006 anyway. Behind those annoying loads and glitches is actually a solid product. It just needs more polish. Of course, Sonic unleashed is superior in every way to sonic 2006, lol. The awesome DLCs of SU really extends the life of the game.

Waiting for Sonic Unleashed to hit the bargain bin before I try it, but the daytime levels do look pretty entertaining.

They were.

Nighttime was really just Knuckles of War. I don’t know why Sega has to invent characters when they already have a huge staple to work with. Dolla dolla bill yall!!!

So since you guys all like Sonic I implore you to try out 'Splosion Man on XBLA. It’s not as fast as Sonic but the platforming is reminscent of the 16bit days where timing jumps and hitting the right boost pads or springs made all the difference.

This is something I’ve been saying ever since Sonic Adventure. They have a HUGE cast list already, and yet they will make up new characters when there are already several that would work for the same mechanics/plots points/etc just as well.

Sonic Adventure 2. Still my all time favorite in the series. Followed closely by almost every 2d Sonic.

Am I alone in thinking Sonic 3D Blast on the Genesis sucked balls? I mean, I love the game’s soundtrack and graphics, but I could not for the live of me get into the game, even with analog control.

Union rules require me to periodically enter this thread and tell people to not give Sonic Team money.

ahem

Don’t give Sonic Team money.

Give it to Dr. B instead so he can keep making his crazy awesome mad sexy websites.

It was hype to an extent. Like when I was 8 lol

Edit: I did play it a few months ago, it was fun for its time but some of the stages were hella confusing. It was one of those games that needed a camera angle button.
