Description
Oh yeah, almost forgot to upload this thing.I don't care much for this instalment of the series anyway.
It's proof that I should never make these minutes movies for Sonic games I only have a few ideas for.
Anyway, Sonic colours.
Didn't like the game, I expected more the fast paced 3d levels from Unleashed which ended up taking up less then 5% of the actual game.
Most of the gameplay is 2d gimicky puzzle platforming.
Okay, I was okay with most of the game, but some levels, especially that stage with the tower on the Wisp planet that makes you go in circles if you don't know where to go.. Argh.
And the endboss make-not-a-single-mistake-for-5-hours-in-a-row marathon.. The game's mostly irritating to me.
There's nothing really wrong with Sonic colour's plot, it's not stupid or funny. Just pointless. (And even less thrilling or exciting)
The writers love to lampshade all the plotholes here, which I hate.
"Hahaha, Eggman often understimates Sonic and keeps making the same mistakes over and over!"
Yeah, funny. DO SOMETHING WITH IT. Let Robotnik wise up and use his flaws deliberatly as a trap, or turn him into a full blown idiot and run with it or... Ghah, anything else then just pointing out how bad the story is and then stumbling forward with this mess anyway.
For the rest, the game's story is nothing but bad food puns.
Sonic and Tails can't talk to the wisps, yet the wisps seem to know perfeclty whenever Tails is making a "hilarious"mistake so they can react to it. Also, there's a scene where they make a big deal out of the fact that Tails is hypnotised to fight with Sonic. Oh no! Sonic and Tails can't fight each other! They've only done that like 500 times before in the series. Sonic battle alone should have crushed all the bones in their bodies.
The Themepark that seems rather unsuiteble for any guests, how are people that are NOT Sonic to go from one attraction to the next anyway? Especially the rollercoasters seem to float in space, the only way to reach them seem to be jumping on comets and stuff.
So I put Amy and Blaze in the flashmovie to explore the bad themepark angle. (They are in the DS version in the themepark. And in case you wonder, I used Amy since she's Sonic's usual accidental victim, and Blaze because since I haven't done any Sonic rush or 2006 parodies yet so I rarely got to draw her. And her voice actress requested it.)
Blah blah, sorry for the lack of new material, a Pokemon movie should be finished in a week or two...for Coolape.
And Kingdumb Hearts somewhere, and I try to get a new IMP finished before I leave for England.
No Sonic movies for a long while, unless I finally get to work on Chronicles again or I suddenly get inspiration for a movie for Summer of Sonic.

hahaha. Didn't saw much about the DS version... so cool, mass murderer sonic bwahaha. But... where were they? I mean, the first time I saw the game, I thought the same as you, "if this is a theme park, how can someone reach anywhere if they are not sonic?". What where they doing?

Pointless? How pointless? Like "just another issue that they solve in one game" pointless or "Sonic Free Riders' half-assed phoned-in plot" pointless? Or both by the looks of it?

Well, the main thing that bothers me is that the game starts with making a big deal about that Eggman created the themepark to make amends for his crimes.
Yet in the very first line of dialogue, Sonic already doubts him and with that the whole situation is dealt with.
Why bother setting up a plot like that if you instantly resolve it.

Oh yeah, right. That is kinda lame. I remember pondering that nothing phases Sonic when it comes to Eggman anymore. Maybe if they made him, his robots, and his overall style less goofy, maybe then he could look more imposing. Or maybe if he actually does something diabolical for a change, instead of trying to conquer with his biggest threat still on the run. But I digress.
I guess Eggman will forever remain some weird, nonthreatening, goofy, not very bright, mad scientist.

Mostly Wii parody tough, I haven't played the DS version.
Who knows how many potential jokes I have missed..
Only reference to the DS version is that Amy and Blaze are in it.

Heh, what? No scenes with Orbot or Cubot?
That's one of the funny things about those recent new games - having Orbot around to point out Eggman's flaws for us, and him not going with it... despite that's what he created him for!

Rogerregorroger In reply to DCLeadboot [2011-05-19 19:41:51 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, they represent the Lampshading humor the new games have, which I hate.
So I don't like them much.
Orbot in Unleashed had potential, as a Pete light, but now he's just silly, which weakens any potential he had.

whats this? I sensed a different kind of comedy in this one, with smooth gags and no wheeeeeeeee faces...well, with the exception of the "Reached a star" scene.
Don't get me wrong Roger, I love your over the top faces and overreaction based gags, I just noticed something different about this one.
Yet this was also pretty good, every single gag was worthy of a good laugh .
By the way, why was Amy and Blaze falling down from a planet? Isn't gravity missing in that specific zone in space? ah nevermind, sence and logic only spoils the fun.

Rogerregorroger In reply to PParreira [2011-05-19 19:52:08 +0000 UTC]
My humor is in close relation with the subject.
That is, if the characters behave extremely stupid in the original game, then I give them Whee faces and let them bounce around.
If they behave mostly logically, then the characters will be more straight as well.
Sonic colour's story is not really stupid. So the characters are mostly straight here.
As for the gravity in the last scene, we're talking about Sonic characters here.
They always breath, talk and deal with gravity in space.
Perhaps their biological forms have a diffrent reaction to the vacuum of space, you never know with unknown creatures.

well, I know how much you like sonic and your awareness of most of the sonic games created.
As for me, the only sonic game I'v played was the first and the thirth, in my opinion, and this is just me talkin', Sonic is a video game icon wich Nostalgia is the only thing keeping him alive.
There are lots of game franchises that were born in the 8 bit age but still grew up, developed and progressed quite well over the years to now a days.
Sonic...well...I just don't consider it to be a good example, played lots of games of this franchise for the ps2, and I didn't care for any.
But I still enjoy every single sonic flash you make, even tho I might not get the plot you are joking with or the scenes you are mentioning, but who cares, I love them anyway.

Some can be fun to play.
Sonic 4 really feels like Sonic 3.
But the hedgehog is a lot more uncontrolable then Mario, jup

Gameplay is great, story is forgettable. I found it kinda cheesy, but whatevs. Also I don't really like sonic's new voice. Ah well...
Thankfully there aren't many cutscenes. x3

Well there's a plus right there! Less Cutscenes! xD
I heard his voice and I didn't really like it either. : / I wish they would use the same guy that was actually really good at voice acting him.

I'm pretty sure you can skip them too if you wish.
They don't detract from the game too much, as they're all fairly short anyway.
I liked the game for several reasons:
-It keeps a nice fast pace most of the time
-The powerups serve to enhance the game and make it more interesting (save for maybe "cube" which was a bit slow)
-The music is awesome
-It has great replay value. (going back to beat a stage faster, better, or to collect the special red rings was actually fun :3)
Things I did not like:
-The bosses were not all different. There were 3 different kinds (save for the final boss), then 3 upgraded versions of the same thing. I don't really like recycled boss battles too much (within the same game)
-Sonic's new voice (a lot of people like it though : p)
-The cheesy acting in the cutscenes
-Super sonic's limits. You may play him in any stage, which is cool, but he feels so limited compared to the color powerups.
your experience may differ :3

Oooh that's pretty cool.
I'm sure my dislikes would be similar as yours though xD
I tend to frown upon the recycled bosses and cheesy acting.
But replay value is good, at least it is fun to do it again unlike some games .x.

funny as always ^^
I had so many problems with the 2D areas 'cause of the double jump, seems that they were made for a simple jump, if you use double jump is easy to fall and die...
I didn't play sonic unleashed for wii so I don't know if the controls are the same, but the xbox360 was perfect for me, using the triggers for the fast step, I hate to use the D-button for that, it slows you a lot...
I didn't care about the sonic colors story too much, it was all like "dum dum plash!" all the time, with sonic talking to nowhere, tails seems to ignore everything including sonic...
and that "oh tails I can't fight you!" it's too gay... I mean, in sonic x (I know everybody hates sonic x, I just love the original japanish anime with no-censure) when amy was possesed by a ghost, sonic just hit her in the neck, so that means that sonic is gay, he can hit amy but not tails? stupid "american sonic" ¬¬

And Sonic fought Tails in Sonic battle and Sonic the fighters before. And Amy and even Cream have seen the bussines end of his fists as well, so indeed, the "oh no, don't fight me Tails!" scene is so awkward.
