Been playing this game all day. So far I think this is easily the best 3D Sonic game ever. A special shout out for the level designs, the platforming/puzzles are just superb, gameplay is great, graphics are the best I've come across on the Wii yet. The music, I've yet to find music in this game that isn't at least good. (Apart from that fucking vocal track, god damn that shit needs to go... Or at least ONLY appear in the credits, not the intro as well!)
I like pretty much everything so it would be better for me to list the things I think could be improved, if I was to nit pick... Which I will.
1) Sometimes you cannot back track in areas where you really should be able too. This may be due to hardware limitations but the game generally doesn't like back tracking. It seems like the game loads in 'sections' these sections are pretty damn big and you can back track in them. But if you try to go back a section you are usually met with a dead end or an invisible wall.
2) The Sonic Simulator mode really should have been split screen instead of both on one screen... It really would be a much better idea. Secondly, The option for VS racing like in Adventure 2 Battle would be superb... Would work perfectly in these stages too.
3)Dr Robotniks PA system quotes are TOO QUIET, You have to really listen to hear them and there is no option to adjust music and voice separately.
4)While I like the game being MOSTLY in 2.5D sections I would like to see the 3D sections be more interesting... It isn’t that I don't like what I'm playing in 3D I do, but it serves as more of a 'speed, go go go get to the next area' and I wouldn't mind a bit more exploring and platforming in 3D as well as these speed sections.
Less important things I would add in Colours 2!
-More things to find hidden in levels, I swear trying to find and collect all the Red Rings adds so much replay and reason to explore. I want MORE hidden things in levels to collect and find.
-2 Player VS mode... Needs to be done like Adventure Battle (Split screen), none of the Sonic Wind, Chaos Sphere rubbish but using Wisp Powers against each other would be a bit of a laugh I think.
-Sonic Simulator, create a level.
Shit I would love this so much, I would love to be able to create my own Sonic Levels in the Sonic Simulator and then share them with others like the Sonic Level Creator on Play Sega.
-Special Stages on each planets world map. I would like to see special/challenge stages on the world map that challenge you. Each focusing on a specific Wisp power and pushing you to beat it in a fast time or even just get to the end with out dying. Like a Yellow Wisp digging hedge maze or a orange rocket where you need to rocket from one wisp to the next... I dunno I think it would add a ton of replay value with little effort.
-Chao garden... Yes I'm a sucker for the chaos.
