So I had this planned for a while...

To play sonic adventure 2 and see how a game that has come out 10 years later compares to it. Well:

Sonic colors is a great game, but yeah I now see what people mean when they hate the 3d sections. This is actually something that counts also for sonic unleashed.

Sonic adventure 2 is a game that only exists of 3d and to be honest the controls are really solid. I forgot how much platforming there actually was. Stages are really well designed and vary alot from each other which feels a lot like how the classics were. I mean it wasn't just "the gimmicks" or the different artdesign/textures what differed the stages from each other. They are unique in every way. I thought the stages were varied in colors but compared to sa2 it lacks harshly.

So yeah, 2 points that were better in sa2 but colors still wins the fun factor for the reasons that sa2 lacks and sonic colors does really good. Frankly I still hate the whole direction of realistic, dark with lots of rock style. It lacks polish and alternate paths.

This was kind of my verdict when I played colors after.

I really hope they make a new engine, make sonic controls even better than any sonic game for both 3d and 2d environments.

Here's hoping that Iizuka, the producer today which also played a very big roll with sonic adventure 2, combines all the good stuff from all sonic games in the past and makes something great for the 20th aniversary.

Is it just me, or does the Sonic Colors model look really odd? (Especially when running at full speed)

Specifically the spikes.

Nope, I think it's just you. Sonic looks awesome in colors. He looks better than any model ever(of the new era).

Well, I noticed other users looking at it and having the same reaction.
I'm not saying the model looks bad, its one of the best looking Sonic models. Its just the spines look a bit awkward. At times, the coloring of the spines bled together and looked bad. (Asteroid Coaster boss is a good example of this) When he is normally walking or normal, I really didn't have an awkward stance at that.

I looked at HD Unleashed, the game also has the same spines. Although, it looked perfectly normal. (Higher polygons, colors, and HD?)
You're going to kill me for bringing this game up

I liked this model better. It animated much better and spines just felt more natural. (I especially liked the CGI cutscenes. It had much more mouth movement and joyful attitude to it)

Sonic's spines in SATBK moved freely. They flabbered around with the wind. The shading and coloring looked beautiful. The spines were spread apart and were very easy to notice the dark/light part of the spines.

I also didn't like SU Wii running spines either.

You mean the Unleashed HD model, the Colors model is the same except it has less polygons. =P

I don't know. I think he looks even better than in sonic unleashed. He's shorter and chubbier, quills less floppy and slightly shorter. This is especially noticable when a CG cutscene appears. The model is different in CG compared to ingame. The overall proportions are just better in the edited colors model.

In my opinion however :p.

That's probably my problem. Its less detailed and looks off compared to the HD model.

It's the same model. If he looks different it's due to hardware limitations.
I suspect they will continue to use this model from here on out... Which is good because I think it is the best of both mordern and classic rolled into one.

Sonic Colours continues to climb the British charts to 16th, up two places from 18th.

However Epic Mickey is an Epic Failure, with no appearence in the all formats charts.

In a seperate note, Vanquish returns to the chart at position 38th.

Epic Mickey is failing because it's stupid. I was fooled into thinking it was going to be awesome with that badass concept art, but then it turned out to be like a regular Disney game with PS1 era graphics.

Ouch, that's no good for Epic Mickey.

Surprised to see Sonic Colours climbing the charts though, that's definitely good news.

According to this link Sonic Colors placed '#31' last weekend, not 16th as Aki-at says.
