That roller coaster part looked a bit unfair. You couldn't see that the track ended before falling off of it.

The BBBE line was kind of stupid.

And, when the guy said "It's one of the longest recent Sonic games. You can beat it in about 5 hours"I thought "Whaaaat?"

Dieing cause of moving the control stick while jumping from a spring, that should not happen anymore,the last time that happened was in 06...

Actually, look at around 2:33 of the review and you can actually see that the coaster drops down to the side. It takes observation and reactions to get the line of rings that will lead you to the extra bit.

Ok here's the picture:

That's a screenshot of GT's review.

but you Still Saw a roller coaster that suddenly appeared Next to you.
that would be a sign to ride the other roller coaster...

--

about the game trailers review :

They said the 3d sections are terribly controlled
and the 2d sections are the most playable, and are still terribly controlled specially with the jumping, according to them.

they also hated the wisps and suggested to stick with the 2d sonic games...
they also Died on purpose at 4:45.

the only stages that had Uncontrollable issue are the first 2 stages, other than that the 3d sections were controllable and not on rails at all. Surely they encourage you to forward, but While that their is a lot to do to avoid dying, Take Asteroid coaster for example, you can watch it at the end of the Stream :

Looks like the public reception hasn't changed for some people. This is what some guys from a non-Sonic forum said to me when I tried reasoning that the game was good.

Me: if you don't like the script, skip the cutscenes.

Do you even realize what you're saying?

"Hey guys, this game has a really shitty script, but at least you don't have to listen to it."


Me: they've fixed alot of the problems with the past games from what I could see on a live stream.

Please explain in depth how sega have fixed the problems of creating a 3d exploration title, detailing what they do instead of fooling people into linear paths with the odd switching choice to hide their deficiencies as they have done for the past few games, or temporarily switching to a 2d perspective for sections to completely ignore the problems. I await with bated breath.

The only thing predictable here is people leaping to the defence of an oft discredited franchise on nothing but a wing and a prayer.


I think I'm just gonna stop trying. -_- There's no point in trying to reason with them and their points are somewhat.. valid? :< *spirits low*

Aaaaaand thats a "Welcome to the Internetz"

Some people do not care about reviews saying "OMGZ DIS GAME IS COOOOOL....But not like I like it and all "
But there is no need to fix a shape that is meant to look like so, Sonic colors is its own style of gameplay and by looks of it, there aren't much liner paths. Then some hardcores expect a classic sonic ALL the time, so there is no reasoning with them, if a sonic game has its style of gameplay then some will take it a broken attempt
at reviving the classic. Now sure Mario keeps his gameplay close to the classics as much as possible, but does not mean that Sonic can't experiment with
newer gimmicks to try and give a different experience that tries to put a smile on some people. But let's just say it simply...There is no such thing as "Everyone will like it"
because its all simply opinion.

Okay, calm down. You shouldn't get that worked up over one bad review. Thankfully gametrailers is the only review to give the game a average review so far. I just hope this doesn't mean the reviews for this game is going downhill cause of this.

I don't see the point with getting upset over GT giving it a bad review. Other great games have gotten bad reviews, Paper Mario 2's 6.0 in Game Informer for instance.

I know, how dare they dislike the game, this game is better than Jesus, and every should say so, if not condemn them all.



Jokes aside, I hate it when people get butt hurt because of a bad review, it got higher than 06, and HD Unleashed so be happy about that.

Use their own logic against them son.

They say that there are "the odd few paths". Really? I saw Aquatic park and the levels were vast. Like seriously massive. Besides, what is bad about the game?
Do they have any proof that what does exist is shoddily executed? I think they'd be hard pressed to counter-act that, especially considering that most (damn you GT!!!) people who have played it, said that the core mechanics were honed to perfection. Thus there is nothing wrong with the game. The rest has to be found out by actually playing it.

Also, didn't the Game Trailers reveiw guy say that even the Wisps had control problems? He didn't actually say what the those problems were....

Just because you don't like CoD doesn't make it bad, I happened to like it.

I think the real problem is that how on the internet, "gamers"(and I use that term loosely) are such fucking tools and use reviews as if they were facts to back up their claims.

It's not a big deal for me, since I couldn't care less about what a review says, but some people treat sites like IGN or Gametrailers(y'know, the site with the most retarded user forum anywhere not named 4chan) as if they're Jesus.

Probably because they are good video games.

So a game you're anticipating got a bad review. You're part of the Sonic fanbase, this should be nothing new.

Yeah,but don't you see that almost every FPS game gets a high score!Even Medal Of Honor which was a let down to me was 5-6 hours campaign and got 8.1 from GT and Sonic Colours gets 6.4 a 0.1 higher from Star Wars TFU2 which was not a FPS game..................I don't know it's just that GameTrailers is the only site that i have registration (and Gamespot) and I enter every day there!It's just sad to see them biasing something!

A few springs led to dieing as I saw in that review. And that's not good.
