Gametrailers review. Has this already been posted?

6.8

My Recent Posts · (10/26/2008

Well, I beat the game last night, er should I say early this morning? Anyway, I thought it was a pretty good game but will admit that the ending left A LOT too be desired and it would almost be a crime not to have a sequel, but seeing as how it was received fairly well and probably made some money, I don't see why it wouldn't receive one. Also,

Spoiler [+]

the final battle between Super Ix and Super Sonic was disappointing as well. I thought it was gonna be a hard fight, but it turned out too easy. I was like "What!" when I beat him in one try; I mean I didn't even hit all the defense inputs and he barely put a dent in me! 0.0

^Yeah, that fight was a total anti-climatic mess.

Also, it seems that this game is getting more mixed reviews as time goes on. EDGE gave it a 6 in their mag, but the review doesn't seem to be available on their site.

Eh, I don't know if I'd call it a mess but definitely anticlimatic!

My Recent Posts · (11/06/2008

Let's just hope there actually is a sequel or else bad fanfiction will attempt to tie up loose ends and such.

Anywho, since it's been more than a month since release now, this topic doesn't need to be stickied anymore. That is all.

""i am rhule the plainit Mobeius Earth now SOnikuu" said Rhobotnick in his big bilding with mastash.

"you caent whine, eeggman" crys Sonicku.

He use super sonicku and Rhoboitinick is dead.

THE END.

-

Plotholes all tied up.

That was better written than the actual game. Awesome job, Craig XD

So this game is the pile of whatever it sounded like through the whole development eh?

Again, if it was developed by SEGA instead of Bioware everybody would have been flaming it months ago.

So can anybody tell me about the Espio and Vector cameo, or even link video or screenshots?

Pretty much. Though I personally would have been more intrigued than really angry depending which team at SEGA would have been developing this game. I might welcome a sequel done by the Skies/Valkryia Chronicles team more than that specific Bioware team. BELIEVE!

<So can anybody tell me about the Espio and Vector cameo, or even link video or screenshots?>

There wasn't any Espio cameo, just a brief name drop of the Chaotix name. Vector only appears in character portrait since he was communicating with GUN via transistor radio and has only two lines. It was pretty lame, bro. :-(

The best part of this parody is that they accurately portrayed the battles and the quality of the game's music. XD XD XD

A pile of the steamy stuff, is probably too harsh for Chronicles. Its ok, I do believe if Sonic Team were going to do it, it would have been much worse. It would have been far too serious and none of those Omega and Robotnik lines would have made it out.

What really killed it though for me was the fact there is EA Quality Assurance in it.

If those nasty people had released FIFA on Dreamcast there would still be Dreamcast. ;_;

That parody though, bloody funny.

So they claimed they would make us like Big the Cat. Was that as much of a forced bomb as the video suggested?

My Recent Posts · (11/10/2008

Depends really, Big the Cat's involvement was usually reserved for big discussions between the various characters, as a sort of pun machine to break up serious segments.

Example:
Sonic: What are we going to do?
Shadow: No!
Sonic: NO U (note: there is a mission where you as Sonic can verbally bitchslap Shadow)
Knuckles: That has been pretty much all of your involvement so far hasn't it, Shadow?
Shadow: I'm only here because I'm popular... ;_;
Omega: Useless Meatbags...
Tails: Soulless Rustbucket...
Big: I have an idea...
*Everyone turns to look at Big*
Big: ... Group hug?

And that ladies and gentlemen is the extent of Big's involvement in the game. That and Battering Ram. Battering Ram is Awesome. Along with the Omega and Big double team move.

The story is very much from Sonic's eyes. Knuckles and Shade are more the centre of attention than say... Shadow. Only really Tails, Amy and Rouge has much input beyond taking them with you constantly to hear what they say. Eggman and Omega have great lines though. But Eggman isn't involved for long and Omega is in the same boat as Big. Shadow and Cream are very much in the background and nothing they say is particularly memorable.

My Recent Posts · (11/10/2008

Gameplay wise, there are two zones which require Big's invunerability skill in order to navigate, so you have to use him.

They are tiny and you have the option of avoiding encounters.

My Recent Posts · (11/22/2008

I finally saw some of those comic book style cutscenes. And I was instantly reminded of how people complained about Secret Rings' cutscenes. HA If only Chronicles had done that.

My Recent Posts · (11/26/2008

sequel in the works?

man, if they go through with this they better get their %*+* together... I couldn't even bring myself to finish Chronicles

My Recent Posts · (11/26/2008

Maybe they can just write the script(which will be more Sonic-like than Mass Effect-lite), and outsource the rest to a talented Sega team that is familar in making great rpgs.

My Recent Posts · (11/26/2008

At least include some voice samples this time. Holy. Even something on the relatively sparse level of Sonic Battle will do. At least it's VOICES.

My Recent Posts · (11/26/2008

LOL

NOW we want voices in the games? :O

That's madness!

My Recent Posts · (12/26/2008

I'm popping in for a visit because, even though I pre-ordered Sonic Chronicles, my job prevented me from playing the game much and I finally sat down and beat it between Christmas Eve and yesterday. I also didn't want it spoiled.

For me (which I figured would be a dissenting view & glancing through some posts here proved that), it was definitely money well spent as I love the game. ^^ I still feel stupid for taking so long to figure out how to accurately use the "shrinking circle" POW action. Battles would've been much easier in the beginning if I had known how to use it. I got into the story a lot, though I guess it helped that despite being mostly told from Sonic's POV, it was such a Knuckles (and Shade)-centered story.

As for me, I altered who I used but some combination of Knuckles, Shadow, Rouge, and Shade were used with Sonic most of the time--unless I was in a situation where I had to use someone (such as Big or Amy) for their abilities or split team requirements.

My only complaints from a playing stand point was not incorporating a way for you to know what each POW move does during a battle and it is a little short (but if it was longer, then I might not have been able to finish it until much later--and that would've been annoying; such a double-edged sword of a complaint).

Hah, on "???" for Super Sonic and the final Ix version. The ending cracked me up with the whole scene that basically became: "Eggman has betrayed us!" "No duh." I also liked the hint that they may have been gone for a year or two while it seems to them only a day or something and then how the credits were done (which I did not just have stop because I wanted to see how Omega & Sonic were going to be used). It just seemed it was nice for a game to not take itself seriously (and there were many moments scattered throughout; though the ending I felt drove it home moreso than anything else) after so many Sonic games that have been much too serious.

I'm sure the backstory that was made up for this game will not be considered legitimate, but it wasn't bad. Of course, I do have a known echidna bias. I've only enjoyed Sonic Battle, Sonic Adventure, and Sonic 3 and Knuckles as much as this game.
