How cool is THAT?

There probably will be a Duel Mode of sorts, and that's probably what we're looking at.

Unless the other characters AREN'T available from the start, and you have to recruit them through the aforementioned boss fights.

I'm pretty sure you only need a vague understanding of the comics to get 99.9% of it.

I know I do.

And sometimes they'll explain it at the bottom.

Anyway, this stuff's gold.

As an unfortunate side effect, however, Generic's 'tardisms will be forever burned into my mind.

Ironically, it was that very ending that added more whatsit to the pile.

Bonus points to anyone who gets the reference.

OMG CRUSH04 TTLY ROXXORZ MY BOXXORZ LOL!11

U SUK!@1

Anyway, they had BETTER include them in it.

Because the last time they said Knuckles and Shadow were going to be in a game (SU), well...

EDIT: What the...?

It seems a link has wormed its way into my 1337sp33k.

Wherever could it lead? *gasp!*

Well, THAT was fun...

not.

Seriously, though, it's good to be back.

At least I didn't miss much.

Anyway, I completed the game some time last week, and it was decent fun.

Of course, with all the doors at the Gaia Temples requiring 69 Moon Medals, and S-ranking Eggmanland will only leave me with 68, with no other secret missions to help me, I'm left wondering what in the world (no pun intended) I'm supposed to do.

I see an item capsule in Spagonia I can never seem to get, but if it turns out to be another piece of freakin' concept art, I swear...

The bosses?

It's like whoozwah said; not too difficult, but not too simplistic either.

For example, here's what the Egg Beetle's like:

You'll start out running forward, and eventually Eggman will throw dice bombs at you. They're easy to dodge and take little more than a quick step, but there WILL be an occasional error in judgement. Then, he snaps his jaws at you. This is where you attack him; however, it requires a high sense of timing, and a decent memory of that timing.

After a few hits, he'll fly to the side and launch three missles that trail behind you. They fire off one by one, but they have more than one launch sequence, so don't rely on the same pattern every time. Then, he'll snap once or twice from the side, then from the front, and the whole thing starts all over again.

I would post my first impressions, but I never know what to say.

Oh, so you CAN play with the GC Controller.

Good.

Button mashing>flailing

Double standards are usually spawned from hatred.

And GI has a lot of it.

Speaking of which, imagine how much they'll slam SatBK for swordplay.

Shadow's ending was the best.

Also, LOL at the ridiculous amount of swearing in Sonic's story.

And yeah, I wasn't a big fan of the whole ending thing either.

You might as well not have played the game at all, which is the better alternative anyway.
