Rev Up Those Sonic Cycles

[StarSock64]

I think all the hype and concern over Sonic's old design is kind of silly. I don't think it looks that grandly superior, at least not in 3D. Just fix Sonic's ugly current model and his weird brows already, oh my god those brows.

Anyway considering I haven't enjoyed the gameplay styles of the latest sonic games I've played (which includes Sonic Unleashed Wii and does not include Colors so yeah not entirely fair opinion), I'm really not interested in playing levels I've already played, or even new levels, with that darn "behind-the-hog" camera nonsense. The whole "run forward and strafe left and right" thing is completely boring to look at or play. The camera issues with the adventure games never really bothered me, and I'd rather have some little difficulties with the camera and have it do something interesting than have it stay static. More importantly I'd like to get to move in a way that doesn't remind me of those old handheld racecar things where you only move left and right to dodge things. The turns and 3-dimensional-ness in the Adventure, Heroes or even '06 games made everything about the levels and gameplay more fun. The 2D sections I really don't care too much about because I'm not paying full price only to enjoy the 2D sections, assuming this is a full-priced game. If it wasn't full-priced I'd consider it at best, considering reviews have a habit of saying "oh this is pretty good!" and then I end up hating it.

Jetters I...I just have to ask. Do you play anything that's not a mascot game? And I hope you realize "good taste" and criticism aren't there just to show off and get on each other about, you should be able to think deeper than "I like this because...I do!" When things are bad, they're not worth your money and you could be spending your time on better experiences. Yes, of course, the whole thing's subjective and people are going to have different opinions, but really, it's important to be able to recognize what's bad and be able to reason out to yourself what makes something good. Saying "I liked it" and "oh I didn't like it" and stopping there adds nothing to your character or understanding or thought process or...y'know, lots of things. Other perspectives and "broadening your horizons" and all that junk makes you a better thinker overall.
