The Shrine

Sega needs to stop fucking this series up.

The fucked up camera angles

The retarded NPCs to and towns.

The lame action stages where 80% of the time you're not even in control but just looking @ the screen thinking it looks pretty.

And Jesus Christ, let's not get into how each and every single one of these fucking games forces you to play as his cute friends. Remember when they introduced Tails in Sonic 2? Remember how annoying it was back then? FORCING US TO PLAY AS THESE ANNOYING FUCKING ANIMALS ISN'T FUN. TURNING SHADOW FROM BAD ASS ANTI-SONIC TO A GUN SHOOTING HEDGEHOG WASN'T A GOOD IDEA. And what fucking genius thought it would be a good idea to introduce ANOTHER hedgehog that moves slower then Shadow/Sonic and throws shit around as his primary attack?

It really pains me to pick up a Sonic game in this Next Gen era and see how much they royally fucked it up. If Nintendo can get Mario in a 3D environment and still make it a Mario game that's fun, Sega can certainly fucking fix up a Sonic game and give us the joy that made the original series on the Genesis great.

You might like the upcoming Sonic game, Codenamed Sonic and the Secret Rings (Sega is trying to legally obtan the name Sonic: Wildfire) it seems to much more fit the original style of gameplay featured in the very first Sonic game, back before they began adding in new characters. Some things about the game:

-Sonic is the only playable character in the game
-There are 70 stages in the game
-All stages have Sonic going from point A to point B, no more open endeded stuff
-The game is very very fast, so fast that they had to abandon the "if Sonic is hit he loses all his rings" formula, and instead he just loses 20 when hit.
-The Storymode will take approximately 10 hours to clear.


Although there is still a lot that has yet to be revealed about the game, expect it to be revealed over the next couple of months. The game is being released at the beginning of March.

I played the demo and thought it was pretty shitty. Then again, I was never into Sonic games. Adventure 1 was the only one I came close to finishing.

Not even the classic Mastersystem and Genesis Sonic games?

On reading the reviews. The game is getting slaughtered. I guess Sega just kind of quit on this title. I REALLY hope that it was because they wanted to put their efforts into the Wii game instead of polishing this one.

The Wii game will, at least be a game where you play Sonic through 70 stages. This is what we have wanted all along!
