Sonic: The Hedgehog = Jks: The Emohog

Post by BEEF!!! »

That's right! The first five minutes you start playing this game your wrists will begin bleeding. Multiple reasons actually.
1.) Those *LOADING* annoying *LOADING* loa*LOADING*ding screens!!! Damnit, I've seen bad load times in games but this is awful. You talk to someone for a subquest and you get a loading screen. Ok, it's normal so far. Yet when you get past the load screen you get about one line of text pretty much repeating what the NPC said 30 seconds ago before the load screen. Then you hit 'A' and wadda know??? Another load screen. At this point you will feel your patience getting tried. That's not the end of it though. Pray to God you don't fail the mission or you get to sit through another load screen, another pointless ass dialog, and another load screen. That brings me to my second point.
2.) There are some im-freaking-possible missions! So you die all the time, sit through load screens, and die some more.
3.) Ugly ass cut scenes. The pre-rendered movie cut scenes look pretty sexy but the ingame ones absolutely SUCK. Some one forgot to uncheck the box that says "Shit quality shadows" when they were making the final build. They were probably just better off putting dark circles below the characters instead because they are insanely ugly. Not to mention the voice overs suck. The character's mouth keeps going for a good 5 seconds after his voice goes away at one part.
4.) Gameplay just flat out sucks at some places yet is quite fun at other parts. Come on Sega! Let's see a little consistency here.

Pros:
Wow, I can't think of many...
1.) Music is actually quite good. Doesn't follow classic Sonic standards but still sounds really nice.
2.) Real time reflections in game make it look cool.

Bottom line; Sega should have spent a little more time on it. It had potential to be a great game but they released crap on a disc.


End of my rant. Any other complaints?

All the new games of the origonal gangstuhs of the dawn of gaming suck.
The Nintendo 64 versions were good, after that things got bad.

The new starfox games = fail
the new sonic games = fail
the new mario games = fail
