Good to see. I was expected most reviews to be around this, and I was pretty shocked when IGN gave it a 6.9, but now I am a little more re-assured.

Wow, I expected less from GS!  Cool, I was still gonna get it, unless it was a 5, then I wouldn't have.

[QUOTE="ShakeNBake1491"]Link. Bad score. I'm getting it anyways

6.9 isnt a bad score it is 1/10 of a point from being an A game with a subtitle of good. I dont know why they would give a score like 6.9, give it a six of give it a seven. I'll be picking this up tomorrow.

Not a bad score, but not an excellent one. I will probably rent it but definately won't buy it. I made that mistake with Sonic Heroes and I'm still kicking myself for it.

Sonic Heroes :lol: Sorry for your loss. 7.6 is not bad. It will sell enough for an improved sequel.

I actually consider the Sonic/Shadow levels of SA2 to be the best 2D-3D transition Sonic has made, and from what it looks like, SaTSR is full of those kind of levels. I'll be picking this up when I get paid.

GameSpot gave a higher score than IGN. I wonder why? It's always vice versa.

Performance issues in the XBOX and PS2 versions. The PS2 version has more slowdown, and lesser graphics.

Well, in the IGN podcast, they did nothing but bash it so i figure they would score low, but i was thiking mid 7s but even still, thats low for IGN. Oh well, i wasn't too interested in this game. Just from watching the vids, it seemed very.. unstable i guess is the right word.

Just thought i'd put in a little tid bit that the Sonic Advance and Rush series have still been scoring pretty well. At least they can still do sonic righ tin the 2D, but yeah, they are starting to understand waht works adn doesnt in 3D... almost but not quite ;)

These people know what gamers want, they get paid to tell us what to get and what not to get.

So their opinion is final? I hate to break it to you but not every gamer likes the same games and not every gamer agrees with reviews. In short GS, IGN, etc don't know what I want only I do.

So the only wii games you will allow yourself to play are Warioware and Zelda? And by your high standards, Zelda is barely passable. You should give lower scoring games a chance; you might find a diamond.

[QUOTE="Sepewrath"]Yeah I was expecting a 12.3 why you dont play the game yourself before you pass judgement. You know think for yourself, give it a try I think you will enjoy it.quetzalcoatl45


Its much Easier to let others do the thinking for me.......
and they tell me tha anything below a 8.5 blows and its not worth it.

Then why would you give Super Mario Bros. a 10 and Metal Slug Anthology a 9.3? They both got below a 8.5 so they must both blow and not be worth it. You're a bright one. ^.^
