While you're at it, Zavvi.com is also having a mark down on the Wii version of Sonic Colors.

Terminal Velocity is literally the worst Sonic level I have ever played. Neat!

I'm currently stuck on terminal velocity. I really hate that quick step isn't on the shoulder buttons like in Sonic Unleashed.

Beat it, only took me 4 hours and 20 minutes to beat... Should have had some extra stuff.

My opinion of the game has not changed, I do think the grand majority of the game is great outside of Terminal Velocity and will be giving the game a positive review, but... I really do not want to play the game ever again. I am not sure what replay value people were talking about, just because the red rings are hidden around the levels does not really make me want to play them again.

Save the boost until the section where the giant robot is chasing you (I am not sure how to dodge it, so just keep boosting). There is a scene where you have to hop - Not jump over little fences and if you miss any you will hit them all and be hit by the lazers too (BEST 3D SONIC, THOUGH). You can quick step into the Motobugs to destroy them too, so remember that.

It is easy once you have that down, but it is never fun. The second act you do not even need to move in, just keep jumping when you see a hole. Simple.

Be sure to use the normal Wiimote for this scene too. It is easier to quick step.

Hey uranus, about the replay value. Just give it a another run. You have the robotnik airship flying around called challenge mode which is like a classics mode. You play from the beginning to end in one run. Try that if you don't like collecting medals for a playable super sonic in normal stages :p. I think than you will realise how much replay value it has. Finding different paths and such.

This guy scored a total of 999999999 in challenge mode lol.

I wanted to do that, but assumed I needed to unlock it. What is that locked selection in the options screen then?

Do you keep the lives, rankings and red rings from the Challenge mode also? I might do this later tonight I guess.

[spoiler:1fjtlc53]Super Sonic, which you unlock by getting all the red rings and playing all Sonic Simulator levels[/spoiler:1fjtlc53]

It only had 21 extra levels in game land.....

The game has a ton of replay value. The original levels now have 400 new paths due to the Wisps you unlocked.

Double-tap the analog stick to rapidly switch all the way to the left or all the way to the right. Don't even pause between clicks, if you have to move 2 "lanes" to the left, just do "LEFT-LEFT" with no pause in between.

^ Or do what a genius like me would do!

After every attack make sure you recentre yourself to the middle lane so you're always only one move to dodge the next attack instead of crossing two lanes.

I say that if Segabits does a Sonic Colors review, they should do it "Round Table" style, with different members each giving their own thoughts on the game.

No need for number scoring or letter grading, either; just make them pure text reviews.

I agree with fluffy about the 'round table' review.
Althought I enjoy scores at the end of each review.

There's no "impact" sayng that a magazine approved the game.
But I'd be astonished if someone had told me Sonic Colors got a 10 out of 10 from a magazine.
