Sonic and the Secret Rings

[Placebo Headwound]

SEGA just needed another character and thought, "Oh hey, let's make Sonic looks evil with Black and Red and flip his spikes around. Then we can make him seem like a total , but really, he's just a hedgehog."

Also, I never understood how the "ultimate lifeform" was supposed to be a hedgehog with rocket shoes.

I think you have it mixed up.

Sonic 1-Knuckles were true platforming games. You actually had to think before just moving on, and be careful with where you jump, when you jump, which path you choose, etc. The only levels in any Sonic game that are "just hold right to win" are Green Hills Zone, Chemical Plant Zone, and Mushroom Hill Zone.

As for the Adventure games? You're correct, it's not just hold right to win;  it's hold up and just hit the A button whenever you come across a massive chain of enemies (about once or twice a level, if at all). The only reason you die in those PoS games is because the camera angles are pure ass.

I actually thoroughly enjoyed Sonic Adventure 2. It has a pretty story line, and raising chaos is pretty damn fun. Sonic Adventure 1 was extremely easy, short, and the camera angles were, as you said ass. The Slightly wide-open (SLIGHTLY) feel of SA1 was sort of cool, but the whole game was pretty cheesy.

Seriously. If he's ultimate, he wouldn't need to cheat with rocket shoes.

The actual gameplay of the 3D Sonic games wasn't that terrible if you were playing as Sonic. It was everything else that made it bad, the fact that all the other characters were incredibly boring and annoying, and that you had to play as all the other characters just as much if not more than Sonic to beat the game. The music was atrocious, the storyline took itself too seriously, and the camera was a bitch. And not to mention those boring 'Adventure' bits. At least they got rid of those in Sonic Adventure 2. And who could forget the horrible voice acting?

Oh, and if you seriously think the music in SA1/SA2 is atrocious, you really need to replay them.

The music is great.

Oh sweet flying spaghetti monster, I heartily lol'd.

Oh sweet flying spaghetti monster, I heartily lol'd.

If you can't play the final boss of SA2 without singing along to Live and Learn, you're a heartless, heartless, creature.

Seriously, though, if you guys think the actual level music in the Sonic Adventure games is bad, then I don't think we're playing the same game.

I've heard worse, but it's not very good.
