Sonic Colours Discussion

I hate it when people say reviewers are TEH BIASED against Sonic games

Well, when they give Sonic Unleashed a lower score than Sonic 2006, all credibility goes flying out the window.

(Yes, I realize that Hilary Goldstein gave Sonic 4 a positive review, but I'd still rather not get opinions from someone who has to wear a safety helmet just to function on a day-to-day basis.)

Sonic Colors is, so far, the best reviewed game of the winter, for the Wii.

Everything about Sonic Colors is brilliant. Too bad it will get bad reviews anyway.

Guess what, people that aren't little kids or Sonic fans generally don't like bad Sonic games because they're bad. With Sonic Colours, people are actually surprised at how good it looks, and those who have played it like it and are generally excited about it (though they're cautious). NGamer also already reviewed Colours, and they gave it an 86%. For comparison, they gave Unleashed Wii a 58%. I'm expecting that Sonic Colours will be getting 8's and 9's from most reviewers.

What are you talking about? Take a look at IGN's Sonic Unleashed review video for the 360 version. The rewiewer purposely tries to make the game look bad by jumping into holes on purpose and mashing the boost button for no reason.

And many people gave Unleashed a lower score than Sonic 06. I mean, c'mon!

IGN(orant, HAHA I'M FUNNY) doesn't do every review out there. And the reviewers that gave Unleashed a worse score than Sonic 06 on the same website didn't review Sonic 06. And most people that reviewed Unleashed liked the daytime stages. Sonic Colours is pretty much the daytime stages from Unleashed but with improvements and power-ups.
They were able to play Sonic Colours, and they like it, some even said that they liked it more than Sonic 4 Episode 1.
People still give Sonic games positive reviews. Look at Sonic 4 Episode 1, Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing and the Sonic Rush games. Even the mediocre Sonic Chronicles got positive reviews.

Also, why are people bothered by IGN's reviews? if they hate it, so what? It's a shitty website anyway.

I wouldn't consider Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing part of the Sonic series.

Blah blah blah, who gives a fuck.

If any site gave Unleashed (360/PS3) an overwhelmingly negative review (even going so far as to deliberately lie and make up problems such as "unresponsive controls" and so forth), then they're fucking worthless and every other review they write should be discarded as such.

And don't give us this stuff about "There are multiple reviewers per site!", either, because there are still supposed to be editors, supervisors, and/or managers overseeing the reviews they write for games. They should be able catch the aforementioned blatant lies before they get published, but they don't. :roll: Well, not unless they've been bribed, I guess.

Here's hoping that Sonic Colors gets outstanding reviews, but I won't be surprised if they hand out scores in the 6.0-7.5 range, either.

Like I said, IGN is shit.

^__^

Gaming "journalism" is a joke within itself, too.

[crackdude]

Journalism is pretty much a bunch of hypocrisy altogether really.

[George]

I don't really understand the Unleashed defenders. Werehog sucked, Sonic was too fast. It was better than 06, yes, but it wasn't a fucking marvelous game.

[fluffymoochicken]

Werehog was okay, and Sonic was just the right speed. ^__^ And when you upgrade his speed - whoa baby, is it ever awesome!

[CosmicCastaway]

I liked the Werehog, particularly the platforming. It reminded me of Ristar.

[Barry the Nomad]

I would have enjoyed the werehog if the stages were 5 minutes or less and they didn't keep locking you into areas with enemies.

(still haven't completed the HD version of Unleashed)

"unresponsive controls"

It wasn't really the problem with unresponsive controls. It was more of it being slippery.

The end game is fantastic!  :mrgreen:
