Sonic goes next-gen, or does he?
User Rating: 4 | Sonic the Hedgehog X360
I was really looking forward to this game. I wanted it to be the next-gen revival of the 3d iterations of my beloved childhood video game franchise. It wasn't. What was released was a buggy, glitchy, overpriced, overhyped mess. The CG is stunning, and that's about it graphically. The stages are large and represent all the classic Sonic stages, but are nothing special on the machine that runs Gears of War. The controls are fine- as long as you are moving slowly. I had few difficulties controlling Silver and the most when playing Sonic's speed sections. These controls twitch worse than a crystal meth addict in rehab. The voiceovers are decent. The music is good. Sound effects are classic Sonic. The load times are INEXCUSIBLE! Stages load anywhere from 2-4 times. At 10+ seconds per screen... The story is serviceable, but not outstanding. At $60 when this game was released fans like myself were ripped off. At $20 this game is worth a look, but there are certainly better 360 titles at the same price.
