but sonic and the secret rings seems to be playing fine.

kinda a supprise, cause i thought i was renting a game, but im 90% sure its one of those 'interactive dvds'

every once in a while you actually have to press a button or move the remote, so thats why i think its one of those interactive ones, otherwise i would have been sure it was just a movie.

Is it really that bad? If so...I'm not picking it up. Guess I'll just get a couple fighting games for my upcoming b-day. Woo for DBZ and Mortal Kombat.

I kinda agree, I love my sonic but this game doesn't give me as much joy or fun value as the sonic adventure series.

I wish they would make another.

Agreed, I really disliked Sonic and the Secret Rings, though it's infintely more fun than the latest 360 sonic offering. But I think the concept is right: this is how to recreate the feel of sonic in three dimensions. But the player needs to be given more freedom.

I was regretting not getting this game because they were offering a bundle where i could have bought it with the wii for $50 and gotten a $30 gift certificate. So in essence it would have been $20.  But this post makes me feel better. I never even really liked sonic in his old games.  I would always lose all my rings.

I've only played the first three non-training missions in the game but I have to say it's been a pretty big letdown so far, even if I only compared it to SA2B for Gamecube. What makes it even more frustrating is that the game looks great. Maybe someone who's played the entire game could comment on whether it's better taken altogether.

SO true! i love that post! Sonic sucks soooo bad! it isnt even a good DVD! I cant believe people like that game, it is one of the least enjoyable games ever, except the little mini games are ok.

So was I! Usually a lot of people defend this game. Can't fathom why. Only thing it has going for it is graphics, and even those aren't groundbreaking.

And people wonder why third party dont make games on nintendo consoles. If this game had been published by nintendo this would have been different. before you says thats not ture go look a excite truck, its a medioca game at best but people treat it like its an amazing game.

I enjoy playing SaSR.

 If you think that you can play the game with out much movement you probley didnt get much futher than the training levels

Sonic ATSR is a great game IMO, how long have you actually had it/played it for? Because once you get to the later levels and you've unlocked all the upgrades and crests for Sonic you need lightning fast reactions to keep up with the action on-screen.

IMO it's more like an action platformer/racer. Like racing games there is a set track (with numerous alternated routes) but like platformer games there are enemies to kill, gaps to jump and obstacles to avoid along the way. You also upgrade Sonic as you play through the game which is a great incentive to keep playing; I've recently unlocked the Dark crest (Sonic's boost meter constantly replenishes), The Wind crest (Sonic's top speed is increased a ridiculous amount) and the Fire crest (Sonic creates a big ball of fire around himself when you use an attack, which increases you attack radius a lot.)

Its a game where you cook for gods sake,i could just go into my kitchen and fix myself a sandwich and still have more fun instead of that game!. I seriously dont know if sonic could be worse than that game but from your post im not picking up sonic either thanks 8)

Wow, I can't believe how many people have been put off buying this game from this one guy's post; the TC is entitled to his opinion but I don't see why everyone is taking it as gospel truth. No reviews I have read have mentioned anything about slow gameplay, and that's because it's one of the fastest games out there (you just have to play it for a while to unlock Sonic's speed upgrades); the only game I've played that is faster is F-Zero GX. Does the gameplay in this video look slow to anyone?  http://youtube.com/watch?v=xVrTnmvAUNU

Lanfeix

Come on!  If all you had to do to sell a game was put Nintendo on it, 3rd party companies would print their names really small on the box, and make the word Nintendo really big.  And the most common thing I heard people say about Excite Truck was that it was barely more than a demo.

You should rent it, because obviously some people like it, but personally I thought is was high grade crap. Good for crap, but terrible when compared to the price tag to buy it.

HOw is it really any different from the early 2d sonic games?  It's not like it took much effort to hold the right directional buttong and occasionally hit jump from time to time.   But people loved the early Sonic.

People are so ignorant.

Have you ever even played the originals? (clearly rhetoric but you're going to answer anyways) This is the essence of a sonic game. Why do you think all the others in between flopped? They messed with a fun and effective formula.

Why does everyone say that it's exactly like the 2d games?! It's not. Sonic could do crazy, unfathmoable things in the 2d games... like..... turn around! I know, it's a crazy concept. Sega was years ahead of their time with that.

I thought this game was going to be rubbish when i first started playing it, but keep on playing it. when you have the speed upgrades this game is pretty cool! at times sonic moves soo fast its scary :D

also trying to get all the fire souls becomes really addictive heh.

oh and if you think the game looks great, wait until you get on the later worlds!, they put the 1st 2 worlds to shame. :shock:

well i thought sonic was pretty fun, but its not like i care.

youre post is pretty funny though.

even i have to agree, sonic wasnt worth 50 bucks (good thing i split the cost with my bro)
