Metal Madness.. The badass looking boss with giant glowing balls pointing out it's weakpoints. It was so gay. The music was alright though.

I look forward to getting the new track DLC. I was hoping for a non Sonic based track and content as well but I'll take what I can get. I really think an Outrun course would work well in this game.

Stupid DLC is not in the US store. What is this nonsense? FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUU

[crackdude]

George, have some pills.

Was pulled from the uk store, apparently it was put up early.

[Monkeroony]

This makes me a sad panda.

I for one, am glad that Metal Sonic is a planned DLC character.

Sonic Terminator knock-off doesn't get enough love methinks.

mmm... The theme is from Sonic CD?

I do not remember this from Deth Egg Zone in Sonic 2 (Genesis), Sonic 3 & Knuckes (Genesis) or Sonic Drift 2 (GG)

Do you really think MD or GG could make that quality of sound?

It is from Sonic the Fighters.

[NiGHTS]

The theme not the quality

I just told you?

Okay, so after all the fuedin' and the fightin' I downloaded the Demo for SSR and.... holy shit this game is fucking horrible.

I'm not even joking, did nobody playtest this thing? You hit the drift button and it seems to lock you into this bizarre drift that is impossible to break out of, I tried slowing down, hitting the drift button, turning into the slide, out of it, nothing worked. Sonic just keeps going sideways until he slams into a wall repeatedly or falls off the track.

I was expecting that maybe it would play like OutRun 2/Arcade which I loved, but it's not even anywhere close (I actually like OutRun's drifting and I am good at that game, I have every achievement for it, before someone accuses me of just being shit at drifting).

And yes, the weapons are incredibly boring and rubbish Mario Kart ripoffs.

I'm aware that this is only my first play of the game, but seriously it was that fucking bad I had to post about it. I'm hoping this is some kind of glitch or something went wrong when I played the demo, because... it was really that bad.

EDIT: I just tried another race and had to turn the game off in disgust, this is seriously a humungous piece of shit. How the hell do you guys tolerate, let alone like this game?

I'm really sorry, and I don't mean any personal attacks or anything, but I just cannot comprehend why this game is liked on this forum, let alone the lunacy of Sanus saying it has the 'best drifting ever' when it seems like the absolute worst I've ever seen in any game. Also the weapons are just beyond a joke, fucking red missiles instead of red shells and some ultra generic air horn bullshit? What. the. fuck.

The game failed hard with fan-service and it seems it failed even harder in gameplay to me.

You must fucking suck, the drifting in the game is very fucking simple.

You must fucking suck, the drifting in the game is very fucking simple.

Cool. I must suck because I thought it would play like OutRun, (you know that great Sega Racer that Sumo themselves worked on a few times?), but it turned out they went with some really bizarre system that locks you into a turn for about 10 seconds when you just tap the 'Drift button' as lightly as possible.
It's not as if I'm just terrible at racing games, because I seemed to do well at OutRun, getting some good lap times in the game, or at least good enough to earn those achievements.

Like I said, maybe I did just really suck at the game (thats probably the explanation) because I had no idea how to play it, but from first impressions the drifting is absolutely terrible.

Are you only supposed to use drifts for long turns or something? because it seems if you use it for shorter ones you just end up crashing into a wall or something.

Anyway, even if you can get good at this drifting system doesn't mean that i have to like it. I really think it's piss-poor and terrible. "Drift Button", pfffft.

Anyway, I can tell everyone is going to attack me for not liking the game, so I'm gonna give it another shot now and see if I can get the hang of it.

EDIT: Okay there must be a glitch or something wrong with my controller maybe, because just turning right causes sonic to break into a slide that is literally impossible to stop until he falls into the water. It does this all the time, especially while drifting.
'Sucking' at hte game has nothing to do with it, if you automatically slide into the water every time you turn, no amount of skill can save you. I'll try Banjo Kazooie and see if that makes a difference.

EDIT 2: It's literally impossible to turn without breaking into a drift that you cannot break in any way, you can't even correct yourself unless you start drifting in the opposite direction meaning you just fishtail everywhere.
I literally just slowly move the analogue stick to the right, with my fingers not even touching the drift buttons and they still slide out of control, surely this is some kind of glitch?

If you want to play outrun, go play outrun. This is not outrun.

The drifting is to be used only in corners, it gives you boosting, the longer you holding the longer the boost. It seemed to work just fine for me the first time I played it.

Are you only supposed to use drifts for long turns or something? because it seems if you use it for shorter ones you just end up crashing into a wall or something.

If you are in a shorter wall, tap the drift button and it will do sharper turn.

I think it works fine. I guess your opinion is absolute, just like Shadi's is with The Conduit.

Alright. Though it seems like you hated the game because you did not understand it.

Learn to memorize the track. That is like complaining that short cuts are hard to find.

Really? I don't, neither does anyone I played with online. Learn to tap the drift button.
