Description
For more Lil Formers head to LilFormers.com: [link]And all these games are just from the past year! (Except for the Black Knight which comes out early 2009)
I really wish someone at Sega would decide to make a good Sonic game. Where he just runs around fast and jumps on robots... seems simple enough. Kinda strange that the funnest version of Sonic to play thsi year (in my opinion) is in a game made by Nintendo, heh.

I definitely don't agree. Sonic Unleashed doesn't cease to amaze me

Yeah, SSBB Sonic is pretty awesome. He's more akin to his classic games. Unleashed went too far with all the crazy stuff he can do. It's like Sega's trying to make him into the next Mario. I preferred Mario's classic "save the princess" instead of being the "make him do every type of game" mascot. Both companies should stick with the classics.

This is awesome, My friends and I were having a conversation about this about 2 weeks ago
It's so true, I read about Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood and completely flipped out, Sonic should never, ever be in RPG style combat

Sonic, you should just go work for Nintendo. They may force you to be in a bunch of different games like this, but at least several of them would be good. I'm looking at Mario and all the games he is in, at least several turn out to be hits, such as Mario Kart and Super Mario Strikers.

I was just discussing the awesomeness of the old Sega Sonics with someone. The boss music scared the piss out of us.

And then running around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around would get kind of really old and boring, sadly... :[
And it's werehog. xD

Either way, you definitely made a good point.

Wow I'd never thought you'd tackle this issue.Compared to what happen in the past year for Sonic,he makes Mario look like he didn't do much(Besides being a plumber,hero,referee,fighter,adventurer,doctor,explorer,astronaut,etc.etc.)
*Sigh*Games aren't as great as they used to be.

I think that the Smash Brothers version of him was pretty good. Stayed pretty faithful to Sonic's style... still, they do need to bring back games like the originals. Heck, even the Sonic Adventure games were pretty good.

poor sonic.....
mario have the same problem

"I really wish someone at Sega would decide to make a good Sonic game. Where he just runs around fast and jumps on robots... seems simple enough."
Then Sonic and the Secret Ring is for you. This game is truly underrated, but except for the beginning where you are forced to be slow, it really has a good Sonic vibe.

Personally, I thought Sonic Unleashed was pretty good. I have the Wii version.
Hopefully Sonic and the Black Knight, as much as a gimmick as the sword might be, will still have enjoyable, less frustrating gameplay.
Anyway, nice comic. Maybe you could do another relating to any of the 3 USA cartoons?

Sonic was so cool,2 much gimicks

oh so depressingly true - i honestly wish they'd just put him out of his misery some days - are they worried that nobody would play a run and jump em up anymore? - i'd sign up for whichever console gave me a mario galaxy-esque sonic game in a heartbeat!

I wondered if that was one of the reasons some of my friends stopped working at Sega... they got tired of Sonic no longer being Sonic and trying to be Mario. XD

so very true. the only thing sonic team has going for them is their ability to make really pretty backgrounds and settings. other than that, their story-telling, ideas and plots totally suck. i think it would be amazing if the team behind zelda's twilight princess took over and made just one game. i'm dying to play a sonic game that doesn't look like it was derived from an awfully written fan fiction.

Oh joy. More whining.
Did you even try some of these games?
π: 0 β©: 1
that's really all the strips are heh.
I played Sonic chronicles, 20 hrs, done. It's kind of a kids RPG, no real depth, could've been much better.
Downloaded the Unlashed demo yesterday, craptacular. Awkward controls, could have been so much better.
As I mentioned Smash Bros is the funnest version of sonic I saw all year, though I'd still prefer a game where he runs around.

Speaking as someone who actually owns the game, you gave up way too soon with Unleashed. The controls are actually good once you get used to them and the levels get much more interesting than Apotos, especially when you finsish the upgrades. You haven't even tried the werehog.
I'm not saying that Sonic hasn't earned some hatred, but these recent games are beginning to drag him out of his pit. I'm tired of the endless ranting this fanbase does.

I know this is an old post, but I think not playing that pedophile looking thing Sonic turns into was a good thing (I'm not calling it werehog do to the fact were is an old english term meaning man, and I don't think Sonic's human). That bad rip-off of infinitely better action games like God of War, and the original Devil May Cry (upcoming Bayonetta can be added when it's released, and DMC's creator is directing it as well), was probably the thing that almost, if only because there were more problems than just that major one, single handedly killed Unleashed do to the fact you play more as that bad knock off than the fun fast-paced day stages. There may be the same number of levels as the day, but they last much longer and take up more of the game's playtime (sorry, but you shouldn't have to put up with a bunch of crap just to get to the good parts). In fact, SEGA probably knew it was bad considering that wasn't even in the game's demo, but knew it would hurt sales if people outside of Sonic's diehard fans played it.
No, Sonic Team isn't trying something new (like most Sonic fans keep trying to convince me), because if they were I wouldn't have seen that gameplay in infinately superior action games before it was released. However, if I wanted an action game, I'd of bought an action game (granted, I only played a friend's copy, because I'm not buying any game developed by Sonic Team after that half-assed NiGHTS sequel), not a platformer based around speed. Speaking of crap that didn't belong there, yet they put in anyways like the bad GOW/DMC rip-off, neither did the bad implementation the RPG elements. The towns-folks in the cities, and the cities themselves, had nothing interesting to say or do and just made the pacing of the game worse (didn't help that they were hard to navigate through and find the actual game parts of the game in it). Oh, and it was nice of Sonic Team to make me backtrack every level without any indication, or goals in terms of earning in some games, of where certain medals were as an attempt to artificially lengthen the game and hurt the pacing more.
In addition to all that I've already mentioned above (granted, there was a lot I hated and didn't play through most of the game but a few levels, do to having much better games like Persona 4 to play), would it have killed Sonic Team to have given me the option to skip the cutscenes? They got old the minute Chip started talking, and they are so embarrassingly written that I had to switch the voice options to Japanese just for some cultural distance. Nothing interesting or funny is going on in them, they overstay there welcome so much and it isn't the so bad it's awesome kind of dialog like in Resident Evil, The House of the Dead or Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. I'd forgive the lack of a skip option if something interesting or funny was going on (like Okami), but sadly it just insults my intelligence. The voice acting also had nothing to do with that (seeing as that's what most Sonic fans seem to think when I complain about the dialog, writing and stories in Sonic Team's games), as you could get Liam Neeson or Patrick Stewart doing the voices and the dialog wouldn't be any better or good. I know we can't all be Alan Moore, but even I can write better stuff than that (even simple, or traditional, stories can have charm and heart as long as they know what they are like in Mario Galaxy, Katamari Damacy, and Skies of Arcadia).
Sorry this is so long (it is a repost of a blog that I wrote, I just edited it as a reply), but people did have good reasons to hate the game, and not everyone who didn't like Unleashed didn't just listen to what most reviewers said (although, I do agree with almost all of the negative reviews). Part of the problem is that Sonic Team hasn't listened to any constructive criticism in almost a decade, and that is a large part of why we've seen lame gimmicks, embarrassing dialog that overstays it's welcome, and too many unnecessary, and badly made, characters that we have to play as (I count that pedophile thing Sonic turns into as a new character).

yeah, what did happen to the good old Sonic games?
So very true. I wish they'd go back to the original game play
π: 0 β©: 0
Sonic Rush on Nintendo DS was ok - similar to good ol' fashioned Sonic where you run around and jump on robots - even has the traditional Special Stage
The others....mllleeeeeeehhhhhh...
