Is there a reason why this is happening? Did we do something to deserve this? Were the original sonics TOO GOOD so they had to even out the time line with this?

so, super-sonic is some kind of erection state? Gotta say, never saw that one coming.

But why did the girl collapse after kissing him? unless..

I was a Sega guy too, never able to like Mario like all the other kids owning a snes.. but after seeing this video I'm glad that I only sticked to the old sonic games and wasn't interested in any of the newer, 3d-ish owns.

freakout — Mon, 20 Nov 2006 23:18:28 MST

God dammit Sega! The original Sonic run-jump-collect-run formula sold millions of systems for you and put you on the video gaming map. It made for some absolutely awe-inspiring 3D platforming in parts of the Sonic Adventure series - especially levels like Metal Harbour and Final Rush in SA2. Why do you insist on tinkering with it? Why are you always forcing us to play as these characters who aren't as fast and aren't as fun? At least in the 16-bit Sonic games all the characters ran at the same speed.

The annoying part is that every single review of every 3D Sonic game has said the same thing in one way or another since his Dreamcast debut. People are crying out for a game that's just Sonic. (okay, I'm crying out for it.)

Maybe Sonic Team are locked away in a dungeon and Sega HQ doesn't allow them to have contact with the public?

Drama? In Sonic? Damnit, all I want in a Sonic game is wacky techno music and random killing of Dr. Robuttnik's robots. And at the end, you screw over Robotnik. NO J-Pop. NO more characters. NO cheesry drama. And NO more resurrections -- if Sonic dies, then he starts at the beginning of the level with one less life.

Perhaps this is going to turn into a bizarre turn of events where Sonic (Marios old competitor) ends up only being good on Nintendo systems. Sonic Rush was great and Sonic Wii certainly looks better than this. Sonic Wii actually seems like the closest thing to a 3d version of the 2d games.

This video is just blurg, Sonic being resurrected by a kiss? And why the hell are we starting to get a hedgehog for every colour of the rainbow? Shadow was ok, his game was horrible but I didn't mind the character too much. However now we also get a white one too? Im sure next there will be another sonic clone only in green.

DukeDavis — Mon, 20 Nov 2006 12:40:38 MST

I have no problem with a human chick being entered into the story or an actual, epic plot being introduced. If anything, I'd prefer the latter, since it would give me something to want to continue to play for, rather than beat it just for the sake of beating it. That was my biggest problem with Sonic Adventure; it was a physically great game -- great graphics, good sound, good controls, even the voices weren't atrocious -- but I didn't really have fun when I was playing. Beating it was almost something I felt obligated to do since I had gone through the effort of buying it.

So if Sega wants to give a Sonic game a grand scale, then I won't complain.

But this is just plain wierd. I mean, even in Robocop, they had the chick cut her hair short so there wouldn't be sexual tension between her and a robotic zombie (necro-machinophilia?). Why not have some Prince Charming for this chick to be going after? And it's not like anyone sane is going to beat the game and say afterwards "You know, I kinda wish (chick) and Sonic got together in the end".

Aye I would have to agree. The new 360 game for Sonic is probably the worst in the series.
I have yet to like a single one of the dreamcast [and beyond]Sonics. He was never built for a 3-d world and the expanding roster of characters just made it worse.

Ok, I don't know alot about Sonic. But I was pretty sure that the pink hedgehog was in love with Sonic and went absolutely mental when someone tried to do something like that.

And isn't what she did illegal inmost countries? Bestiality and necrophilia? Or do they get off the hook since the screen glows up and you can't actually see her kiss him.

V1L3 — Mon, 20 Nov 2006 07:10:32 MST

"all of these games were absolute trash."

I'm with you on the last 3 (sans the 360/PS3 version, as I've yet to play it), but I still believe Sonic Adventure was the closest thing to a good 3D Sonic game we've seen. The problem is, Sega decided to stick with what was broken in that title (too many suplemental characters) and not sticking to what worked: old school style music - no more J-Rock guitar, please Sega? - levels split up into sections or acts with different music, playing the same levels as different characters (not different or similar levels), a good balance between action and adventuring.

It's like George Lucas and the Star Wars prequels - he had more money and more technology at his disposal, but seemed to forget entirely what made the original movies so great. Sega seem to be making the same mistake.

Does this moment in the game look cheesy? You bet. But it doesn't look any worse than Kingdom Hearts. And really (unfortunately), it's the same age demographic that Sega's going after here. Then again, Final Fantasy X made me cringe more than this, so maybe the demographic has nothing to do with it... perhaps it's more a lack of any kind of script-writing and directorial talent.

In attempting to make a more cinematic experience, Sega may well have dropped the ball. A stripped down title that focuses solely on Sonic and intelligent level design would be the best route, but I'm not yet convinced that the Wii version of Sonic will be that game. It looks like some good arcade-style fun, but OVERLY simplistic and devoid of any kind of exploration and/or freedom.

There has to be a happy medium there somewhere.

If Sonic Rivals is a bust, I think I'll just stick to playing the old games on the Genesis Collection. I have yet to see a Sonic game surpass the originals. And the way Sega keep getting sidetracked with unnecessary characters, I doubt I ever will.

(P.S. Rated M for Mature, for mild coarse language and bestiality XD)

The controls cannot be forgiven. Not only is it the worst Sonic game, it's one of the worst games ever made (in my opinion, of course).

Funny how one critic said the only thing that redeemed the game was its story/cutscenes. Well, not really "funny," but it's too early in the morning to perform difficult mental tasks such as coming up with the appropriate word.

Agreed with the guy who says, 'It seems pretty redundant for the guy to yell out spoiler excessively when the link posts to "Sonic is dead."'

... Also the hand made me mad. It was just waving in front of me, but i couldn't slap it away. I was very annoyed. I wanted to punch it, but i couldn't because it was just an illusion. I often like the embedded videos from the bloggers here, but come on people, cool it with the hand waving! It makes me want to punch my monitor. I'd hate to have the mayor of Boston send Kotaku a bill for the price of my monitor on my behalf.

Aside from the hand, the rest of the video made me just as mad. Why sega had to ruin a perfectly good franchise like Sonic is beyond me. Seriously, Sonic Adventure 1, 2, Sonic Riders, Sonic Heroes (ugh), Shadow the Hedgehog, and now Sonic the Hedgehog 360, all of these games were absolute trash. Obviously if they're still making these trash games after all this time, someone must still be buying them, but why someone would subject themselves to such mental torture is beyond me.

All this hand waving, sequel releasing, cutscene watching and ranting is making me very mad. I'm gonna go see my shrink now. Thanks alot Kotaku :(

This actually brings back memories of the Sonic cartoon where at the end of the show he'd have little morals. It specifically brings back the one where Sonic warned against being touched when you didn't want to be. Anyone else remember that or am I too old?
