Johnny vs. Sonic Lost World (Wii U & 3DS)

- Here it is, the review of the latest game in the Sonic franchise. Sonic Lost World takes the Hedgehog through over 7 different worlds, battles against the Deadly Six, and also takes things back to a simpler time in terms of high-speed platforming. The boost formula is gone. The Wisps are back. However, does this change end up working out in the end, or was it a bad idea to shake things up at this point?

The new like bar makes me think I'm about to level up a Pokemon.
I want to battle!
Hahaha! YES!
That's what it reminds me of thanks
Or better yet.. looks like you filled your boost gauge in Sonic Generations Johnny, :P
i see it too
Just a note: they changed something in a recent update. Getting 100 rings DOES give you a 1-up now. Cuts back on the difficulty a bit.
SPINDASHPRO :D
ER MER GAWD
when eggman start.
So the thought process is "We'll patch this sum bitch till you people like it!"?
Did any of the other games do that?
am i the only one addicted to this channel?
this is like my 5th time watching this review
Nope me too but not 5th time on this review
same
I know right?? Me too, and I like it :v no shame jajaja
Embracing The Madness Me too haha, but I'm also addicted to his gaming channel, the super gaming bros. If you haven't checked it, you've been missing out on some good stuff
Embracing The Madness Im pretty sure I've seen every Metroid and Sonic review atleast 10 times. He is so entertaining and has a good opinion on all the games he plays.
Little did Johnny know of the horrors soon to befall the beloved blue hedgehog...
Wat
Uhhh that would be a probably not
Davis Underwood Yep. A licensed cartoon-based game. Whatever. Lost World is still the last mainstream Sonic game.
joe hartington Cartoon show?
+Davis Underwood Sonic Boom is a non-canon spin-off that Sonic Team had no part in developing, and it doesn't affect the main series in the slightest. The only reason everyone thinks we're in a new dark age is because it's the only thing happening that's Sonic-related right now.
I always wait until I beat a game to watch reviews on it, to avoid spoilers. That said, I just beat Lost World today, and believe me, the one phrase that sums up how I feel after watching the review is: "Oh good; I'm not the only one."
I felt pretty much exactly like Johnny did about the game. It's like they took ideas from New Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Galaxy, blended them and slapped Sonic as the main character. Hell, the way Tails escapes in one cutscene and the last battle against Zavok made me give up. Something that I didn't see John mention was how slow Sonic feels, even with the run button which ultimately screws over his momentum. I too would have preferred if they had approached the controls like they did with Generations.
The first half of the cutscenes were cringe-worthy with their dialogue, getting a little better in the second half. To be quite honest, I actually liked the Deadly Six, I just wish that they had been fleshed out. They seem interesting enough, but absolutely nothing is explained about them or the Lost Hex.
If you ever get the chance, get the Yoshi's Island and TLoZ DLC. They are so worth it and are ironically the funnest part in the entire game.
As for the 3DS version, also, thank you. It makes me happy to know I'm not the only one who looked like a dumbass playing the Special Stages. XD
I really want to like this game, but I feel so mixed about it and I've never felt this way about a video game before.
Charriii5 Same here
can we sin the fact that sonic lost world is mario galaxy and new super mario bros with sonic copy and pasted over mario?
*every like is a sin*
Same.
Hi i love ur channel

@@earlduran6419 you forgot your microwave
It's depressing
Who the fuck thought using the 3DS' gyroscope for the special stages was a good idea? This is supposed to be portable and playable in public! Could you imagine playing a special stage from this game in public?
It's worst in a car, where you can't exactly move around in any direction.
***** 15-20 MINS shouldn't be in any game
***** well ya but there aren't any real levels or acts in those games

"What ever happened to focusing on one gameplay style and fleshing it out into something gamers would like to replay over and over again?"
That seems to be Sonic's problems all throughout his 3D career, isn't it? Sega either has no confidence that their audience would have appreciated a straight up platformer and proceeded to add gimmicky character specific gameplay styles like Fishing, Shooting, more emphasis on combat or vehicles, or they wanted to please everybody at once. Sega needs to pick one platforming style that fits Sonic, one tone for it's stories and run with it, no pun intended, yes that will alienate some of the fans, but you can't please everybody. The sooner they learn that, the better off Sonic will be... that, and for the love of chili dogs, STOP RUSHING THESE GAMES
Altar360 is it any wonder why Mario has always been good XP Sonic doesn't even come to close to being Mario's rival
+Altar360 Didn't fans ask for shooting levels during the development of Sonic Adventure?
VolcanoShed That's what I mean. They tried to please everybody at once. In doing so they gave us a lot of inconsistent gameplay mechanics that don't fit a Sonic game
You can't rush when you make a Sonic game, but you can when you finish (unless you're Sonic Boom, apparently).
+Altar360 gjhggfrf fighting ghhhvhh
I'll admit, "Sonic Lost World" is not the greatest Sonic game to come out since "Sonic Unleashed", but it does have plenty of qualities that makes it kind of enjoyable to play nonetheless.
He never said it was bad
KidSnivy69 Yeah, I know.
S-Sonic...Boom....
I agree. This game has so much potential
jnjjules Plenty of Sonic games have potential, but Sega rarely capitalizes on them or tries refining them
By far this review is better IGN and gamespot's review
Most of his reviews are.
Although GameTrailers are also more fair than those two.
I used to enjoy Gametrailers but I got sick of their editing style and that obnoxious "Is this game the best thing ever? Or is it total shit?" at the start of every video.
CheetosForBreakfast No, it's not the best but it isn't superman 64 level
Can't spell ignorant without IGN.
Now I wonder if he'll take a look at the PC version.
He'll do it in his "Then & Now" session
+Mamaspeeder MODS MODS MODS
sonicgamer42 What
Mamaspeeder When Sonic Lost World PC was announced, everyone was gushing over the inevitable fanmade level mods, especially with Generations having a pretty good modding community. This lead to Matt, of Tails Channel fame going: "MODS MODS MODS!"
sonicgamer42 Oh ok, I thought you were screaming for youtube mods for a second.
My playthrough of the 3DS version was so up and down. Sometimes fun, mostly not.
Then again it's Dimps so that kind of inconsistency is to be expected at this point.
The only games that Dimps did right are the DBZ games for PS2 and PSP to me
I sincerely hope that Johnny does a "Then and Now" re-review of this game in the future, seeing as quite a few of his gripes with the Wii U version have been fixed in both patches and DLC. 100 Rings gives you lives again, all the Wisps save for the Rhythm Wisp can be controlled with the Analog Stick, and lives/animals can be grinded to near ridiculous amounts with the Zelda/Yoshi DLC (Yoshi for lives and Zelda for animals), making getting through this game MUCH more comfortable and fun.
For the last 6 or 7 years, I've seen the same recurring theme regarding SEGA with their Sonic games:
They keep trying to fix what is not broken.
It's not even that they try to fix it, they just move on to something else completely different. Sonic should really take some notes from mario, perfect the core gameplay first then you can start to add gimmicks, that's why all of his games are met with such high praise.
I
Bryan Watkins They did that with Unleashed, Colors, and Generations, but SEGA being the pricks they are, they changed the gameplay once again.
They seemed to be getting there too with the boost trilogy, though my biggest gripe with the controls are how stiff they are when you need careful platforming but I actually know why they work that way because in the past sonic games he was too slippery and that's a terribly thing to have when your main gimmick is running fast and makes it more of death sentence than a useful skill
Bryan Watkins The controls actually felt pretty smooth in Generations, but when it comes to Unleashed and Colors, I see your point.
+Omar Elmosrati
Generations and Colours felt too stiff whereas UNLEASHED was a tad "loosey Goosey" as the kids say.
This, and Cobanermani456's reviews, of this game, are the best I've seen.
You both covered just about every aspect of the game people want to know about. Good job.
That main theme is amazing. Definitely in its top 10 for me.
It's pretty good... And it's a comment from 2015
I remember watching this right when the game came out. This was truly Johnny’s golden era.
oh god those 3DS Special Stages...If only we can use the analog stick XD
I went insane getting those chaos emeralds because I own the 3ds version and it was sort of worth it
I've never played the 3ds version since I've never owned but I'm assuming your saying the special stages are bad
Angry lolbit. To be honest, you're not missing much.
There is now an update for the Wii U game so that:
•100 rings = 1up
•Controlling ALL Wisps with Joysticks and Buttons instead of Motion Controls.
•Fixing glitches.
Every time Johnny says "In the first place", take a shot.
Oh my god. John. This is the BEST review of Lost World I've seen. You praise what works, and what you had trouble with you don't blame on the game. I'll say I enjoyed the package more than you did, but I pretty much agree with everything you've said here. Excellent job (not that we really expected any less). There's a reason this thing reached 200 likes before a troll could screw that Pokemon's level.
SEGA: Oooh! Generations got a lot of praise and it's considered by many like the best 3D Sonic game we have done or at least the best Sonic game in a while, so for the next two tittles (LW/Boom)... LET'S JUST THROW OFF THE WINDOW THAT AND MAKE WHATEVER CAUSE... YEEEI, SONIC!!
I think if these games were original series, it might work better.
semaseri x THAT is true. Boom wasn't made by Sonic Team... who I THINK should be working on a Sonic game for PS4/XOne?... I hope it's the true heir to Generations
Instead of generations they wanted to do Sonic Lost World 1st. But they did generations for the anniversery
generations is an amazing game got it the same time as sonic 06
semaseri x I disagree on making Sonic more versatile especially considering Sonic has horrible jumping physics, and the Parkour system was dangerously flawed since Sonic could at any moment climb up a random wall which was really frustrating. Especially considering that Sega for Lost World thought that challenging was make levels be 75% pitfalls. Another thing complaining about Sonic being too fast is stupid because he's meant to be the fastest thing alive, he's marketed for his speed, not exploration, heck this was the reason SA2 split exploration, from speed because exploration is slow and usually is done optionally by completionists. And you can't say Sonic isn't all about speed because then you're throwing the creators intentions out the window, and making Sonic, Mario with a different skin.
Can't believe this game and review are 7 years old!
Brings me nostalgia.
I feel ya, I remember watching this video when it was brand new
This is why I think it's a bad idea for Sega to ONLY make Sonic games.
They're trying to experiment with alot of things here, but because they're only stuck with one series, it's up to Sonic to juggle all of these ideas at once, resulting in a game that's all experiment, no build around.
Had this game's multible different ideas & gimmicks been spread out into different games, that whould've made Sonic lost world not only less crowded, but also given developers time to think all these ideas through alot better.
There are things like the Parkour that seems like a good step ahead for Sonic, but because this idea is fighting for room with the new whisps, flying stages & all that, it wasn't given the needed time to be worked on. Instead, they could've just tried & take all the different flying controls & work with them on a Nights game for a later time or something. Whould've been less shit clogging Lost world's developement & whould've propably pleased quite a few longtime Sega fans.
Though, I don't know if Sega even has the money or manpower to spread this shit into multible projects for the future at this point. This is just how I whould've propably seen it.
I most certainly didn't have a better experience than you in the 3DS version. As you said, the first few stages are good, but then completely goes downhill once you reach the next worlds
I think the only really bad stages were most of the puzzle-based stages and, of course, Lava Mountain, but the other stages were really good. But yeah they sometimes take way too long.
HA. DOWNHILL. It's funny because Sonic runs down hills.
Parkour? ... Assassin's Speed?
More like Speed Edge.
DK KR *slow clap*
+Kenpokid4 Crap, Sonic and Ezio are voiced by the same person..
Dr. Cardus
... Wait, really?
Kenpokid4 Yep. Fun fact: In the italian version of Sonic Lost World, Sonic is voiced by Renato Novara which is the italian voice actor of Ezio. So... Sonic sounds like Ezio in both versions.
if I had a nickel for every time he said "To begin with" or "In the first place" I would be rich
Oh man, Johnny's gonna have a field day when he sees Sonic Boom.
The knuckles re design is the worstttt. I don't mind the look of gameplay but not some re designs...
I agree the design of Knuckles is awful, but Sonic,Tails and Amy is not too bad but don't let the design of the characters ruin the game for you
I'm ok with making a more muscular knuckles, kind of fits his personality. But man, does he still need those chicken legs? It looks so awkward O_O.
A new sonic TV series too. Its weird last series I watched was sonic x or something. I dont mind eggmans look
When has a character design ever affected a game? AND don't say DmC: Devil May Cry.
"Welcome, it's glad to have you here."
You can never undo this mistake, Johnny.

11:28 - Return of the Slicers
sonic games actually were ALWAYS about speed, the original song was actually made because the developer of sonic loved trying to beat the first level of mario as fast as possible, so he thought a game where the point of it was beating levels quickly would be a great idea
I just noticed i said song instead of game…WOW
*****
Go play the second level of the first Sonic game and tell me if it's all about speed...
Because it's not all about that... It's a factor in what makes Sonic Sonic, but there's also platforming and other things with newer features since the Classic days.
That's not what Yuji Naka said. He said that he noticed that he'd have to play the first level of Super Mario Bros. over and over every time he played it, so he wanted to make a game that rewarded consecutive playthroughs, something with a higher skill ceiling.
The Geek Critique

True story: when I played the 3DS version of Lost World, the R button on my 3DS got fucked up because I held it down to run too much and so I had to replace the whole system! Fortunately I had warranty on the thing!
I know I said this on another one of your videos but this review style gives me a really good idea of what the game is going to be like. The editing is done really well, if you have disagreements it feels really legitimate and the voice is really relaxing!
I'm playing this on Steam Deck now and I'm really enjoying it. I've been playing all the Sonic games I missed and I've found them to be much better than they were given credit for
This was 7 years ago I want to go back
My day was not that good. Im in the middle of a south park episode. I decided to check my subscriptions. Then I almost cried tears of joy
This is probably the only review that I have seen that actually compliments the game more than 3 times. Thank you, SomecallmeJohny!
Wow, time flies. This review is already 4 years old. I honestly love Lost World (specifically the 3DS version) more than any of the boost formula games. I hate the Wii U/PC version though. The problem I have with that version of Lost World is that it's somewhat a return to Sonic's platforming roots (which I like), but at the same time it ended up being more of a chaotic experiment. It had many stages I just straight-up hate and a good amount of the stages felt very copy-and-paste. I especially hated how Sonic controlled. He felt so stiff in mid-air after a homing attack and when turning while running, he veers off so awkwardly. The boss fights are also pathetically easy and not much of a challenge at all. Lastly, the parkour system was okay, but iffy to utilize. It seemed to me as if you always had to hold the run button in order to parkour unlike in the 3DS version where you didn't need to hold the run button down to parkour at all. You simply needed to gather up enough momentum in order to parkour. The Wii U/PC version is just weird. That version has a lot of design choices I simply don't tolerate.
The 3DS version on the other hand, controls brilliantly. Sonic controls almost exactly like how he did in the Adventure formula games and his controls feel more loose. I donated so much time to Lost World 3DS than any of the boost formula games by far. I hated the gyroscope controls though and how they're forced on you and there's never been a patch to remove them from this version. It's a shame. I also didn't like how Sonic was the only character you could play as. Tails could've been playable. Other than that though, I loved the emphasis on puzzle-solving in some of the levels. It's an interesting little twist to Sonic's platforming prowess and I even make it a challenge for myself to complete them as quick as possible. I especially loved the parkour system in the 3DS version. It works so much better and It's a lot of fun using it and not having to rely on springs to get to higher places. Now you actually have to donate input into climbing ledges and even creating your own sort of shortcuts using parkour. That shit's a lot more fun and involving than anything Forces (which is an overly automated and pathetic excuse of a platformer) has to offer.
Even the boss fights are a bit more challenging and interesting than the ones in the Wii U/PC version. Case in point, Lost World 3DS is a decent game despite its flaws while the Wii U/PC version is very mediocre at best. I hope Dimps comes back and continues to make Sonic games again. They often do a better job than Sonic Team, I don't care what anybody says.
I got the Wii U version for Christmas, and imo, the red ring hunting wasn't nearly as terrible as you made it sound. the only areas that gave me trouble were Frozen Factory zones 2 (The pool tables are much harder than they look) and 3 (That 2nd pinball machine....never again.)
I'm one of the few people who actually finds this game to be heavily underrated. Yeah, it had its flaws, and it wasn't the stellar game that everyone hoped for, but this is certainly NOT a game of Dark Age quality.
TheBlue Typhoon17 same here, lost world is a fun game but has major flaws, especially the 3ds version...(Frozen Factory Act 3 is the new Lost Impact XP)
TheBlue Typhoon17 I'm with you, but I do think that the 3DS version is terrible.
Markell Hawthorne I was referring to the Wii U version as being underrated. The 3DS version is just awful.
TheBlue Typhoon17 yep 3ds is awful. it was so bad it made Cobanermani456 rage quit once XD
xy394 A Sonic level should *NEVER* take 15-20 minutes to complete.
I have watched like 6 reviews of games on your channel yet i haven't found a game that yiu truly like
The game got a lot better with the updates: you get an extra life with 100 rings! You don't have to use the motion controls for the wisps anymore!
+CarozQH on PC or Wii U or 3ds?
Haruhi Suzumiya
WiiU
CarozQH woo-hoo?
hmm, has 3ds and pc changed since then?
Haruhi Suzumiya
The PC version came out months after the update and I really doubt you can have motion controls on a PC...
CarozQH wii U version had wiimotes I take it. I just used the gamepad from the demo.
I wonder will Johnny update his review by a little bit when the Lost World patch hit...?
Edit - Patch is already out, folks! Get to updating and enjoy using the wisp with the analog stick+buttons!
Remember when everyone was bitching about Lost World's experimentation and now it's turn to Forces' formulaic style?
Samic8485 Forces in my opinion isn’t good critically, but at least the controls are functional.
Man I have rewatched this video numerous of times than how many times I played the actual game.
The Spaceballs references though

Lemme tell you, the "Then and Now" segment about Sonic Lost World is going to be VERRRRRY Interesting.
Not only does the game get an update but it also gets....
A Yoshi's Island DLC Level?
Oh, and a ZELDA LEVEL?
I wonder what was his reaction when he first saw the Yoshi Island DLC announcement at the Nintendo direct...
well, it's a nintendo exclusive, don't be surprised
Still doesn't make the game any better.
Fun game: Count how many times Johnny says "In the first place" or "To begin with"
I've been binge watching Johnny vs. videos for days! He's one of the best next to AVGN!
I fucking love your Metroid shirt, Johnny!
ALL HAIL THE MAGIC CONCH! Don't tell me you didn't see that coming.
magic...conch shell....YAU MEAN LIKE THEIS?!?!
More like the COCK as Dr. Robotnick comes close to pronouncing.
I have that same Metroid shirt. I love it. I've been binging on your Sonic reviews by the way. Great job on them.
Darn it, I love your vids. I keep binging on them!
I wonder what you have to say about the new patch, Johnny?
-Indigo Asteroid, Crimson Eagle, Orange Rocket, and Black Bomb can be controlled with the Analog stick, not the Gamepad.
-100 Rings = Extra Life
-Game Overs and continues give you Ten Lives instead of Five.
-Fixed a rare graphical issue that would sometimes appear during the pinball section of the Frozen Factory casino area.
-When completing the NiGHTMARE DLC, users will be notified that they can re-play it after scoring 100,000 points.
-Items will now appear on the world map.
Maybe in a "Then and Now" segment for this game. I hope you have a better time with this.
Sega adding sprinkles to a turd. Why should this change the outcome? The horrible level design and controls are still there.

Dude, just go fuck yourself already. You've made your unwanted opinion known a hundred times.

STOP BASHING
I distinctly remember spinning around playing one of the special stages on my 3ds when my sister walked in and told me I looked like a jackass.
One rumor is that Lost World is using the ideas from Sonic Xtreme
+Israel Trevino Jr Well that's actually true. When you think about it you realize taht before mario galaxy there was Sonic Xtrem (1997) however its unpopularity due to the fact that it is an unreleased title make most of the people think that it looks like Galaxy.
+Louis Brasil Nope. They stole it from Galaxy. The developers didn't even know Sonic X-Treme existed
+The best worst channel on TH-cam Nah. Sonic Lost Worlds is not a Mario Galaxy clone, it only appears that way on the surface. If anything, Mario Galaxy copied many things from previous Sonic games (including but not limited to Sonic X-Treme) and even many non-Sonic games.
+DarkChaos How the hell could Galaxy copy Sonic Xtreme if it wasn't even officially released? Oh and how did Galaxy copy anything from other Sonic games? If you bring up Mad Space as an example that is a poor af argument.
Death Egg Zone in Sonic 3 and Knuckles.
Sonic Xtreme.
Crazy Gadget and Mad Space in Sonic Adventure 2.
Super Mario Galaxy.
Sonic Lost World.
They're all similar. But they're still different in their own ways.
I noticed a perler bead sprite of Mega Man in the background. I make tons of perler bead sprites, so if anyone would like something, please let me know via PM. Thanks! :D
You're a great reviewer, awesome
Fun fact :Sonic Lost World is the first game I've ever played on the 3ds.
At first, I thought that the game was awesome, but overtime, I grew tired of
slogging through the game until finally throwing in the towel on the desert level.
You're review is spot-on on the 3ds version. Especially the special stages.
Same except Generations was the first Sonic game I played on it and while I did beat the game once, I gave up on Sky Road Act 2 in my Let's Play. I honestly liked the special stages besides being unable to record.
wow he's definitely right this game has way too many damn gimmicks it's insane also I feel like playing this would give me motion sickness with all the flipping at high speeds especially if I had 3D on my god
it's not that bad I've done it myself
Excellent review. The game reminded me of Unleashed in a lot of ways. I gotta say though, the game may not have been great, but considering that Sonic's 25th anniversary is coming up in a few years, it may have been a smart move for them to get all the experimentation done now, so that by that time we can have a Sonic game that kicks ass while still feeling new. They really overused the changing gravity in the game though. Honestly, when I get to the level where you had to use the gravity to roll fruit around, it felt more like they were trying to show off than make a good game.
That's true enough. The 25th anniversary is in 3 years. Also, I think there's one more Sonic game going to the Wii U exclusively out of Sega and Nintendo's temporary partnership. I hope the next game goes to the PS4 (it would look AMAZING) and with the boost gameplay. MAYBE they could add in some parkour elements into it.
***** Smash Bros is not apart of the deal. It's already been confirmed that it's gonna be some kind of racing game.
"Smart move" and "Sonic Team" are two words that REALLY don't go well together
FelpHero Sonic Generations.

Johnny, I'd love to hear your thoughts about the game and show 'Sonic Boom'
For me, I don't mind it EXCEPT KNUCKLES! I just...cant...
Okay but those cutsceens espically when sonic is avoiding the deadly 6 in the begening when he jumped of the groud amazing
Its been 10 years since I discovered Somecallmejohnny.
Well, at least the new update makes 100 rings equal a 1up again!
ChaoticDarkShadow
True
Gameplay Updates:
Collecting 100 rings will now grant the player an extra life.
In the event of a Game Over, we have doubled the amount of lives the player will begin with when continuing. (From 5 to 10)
The Indigo Asteroid, Crimson Eagle, Orange Rocket, and Black Bomb Color Powers can now be controlled using the analog stick and buttons.
Fixed a rare graphical issue that would sometimes appear during the pinball section of the Frozen Factory casino area.
Additional Updates:
When completing the NiGHTMARE DLC, users will be notified that they can re-play it after scoring 100,000 points.
Items will now appear on the world map
So Eggman's new plan is to capture critters to turn them into badniks like he did 23 years ago in oryginal Sonic the Hedgehog (1991) (minus the part with sucking energy that failed before it even started)? What's the point? I liked plans with exploding moons, controling alien energy and enslaving a time eater with his past self more than that recycled idea from classic games. Just don't get me wrong i love classic Sonic games, but they could've come up with something new and not as bland as whole Deadly Six idea.
I love the intermittent swearing during the review. Never knowing when an f-bomb is going to drop is pretty fun.
Convenient, this is one of the first videos I saw of yours John (At least I think, it was like a year ago)
Here's to the PC release today! I may not own one, but cheers anyway! ^_^
+BlueBlur86CP
Yeah, too bad the keyboard controls are pretty awkward.
+Ivan Simpson but can't you change the keyboard controlls?, unless you are talking about using a keyboard in general
*****
I'm pretty sure you can change the controls, though I haven't tried that myself.
it's easy, just go to the input options, you can't change the controller input through
Stick to the Wii U version over the PC version.
3:15 I love that Spaceballs reference.
My first time seeing one of your videos. very high quality! I enjoy your content~!
Don't know why I rewatch these review's so much
WHAT I WANT TO KNOW IS WHERE DID THE WISPS COME FROM, THEY WENT BACK TO THERE PLANET AT THE END OF SONIC COLORS, BUT GAVE NO EXPLANATION TO THERE RETURN IN THIS GAME!
A wizard did it?
You know, Johnny's videos have that JonTron effect. You just watch the videos over, and over, and over, and over.
Then you watch something else.
Then watch the videos a fuck ton again.
Yep.
If you hold the spindash button leading into a jump once you land back down you’ll continue the spindash, making it an infinite spindash. It’s similar to the boost if you use it this way, although it’s a bit harder to control.
13:11 The 3DS Version actually gives an extra life on 100 rings.
13:52 The 3DS Version gives you only an extra level per area, but Super Sonic is unlocked much more easier.
Are talking about the Wii U version or 3ds version for unlocking Super Sonic because if your talking about the 3ds version all I can say is *ARE YOU FUCKING HIGH*
Yeah well, with updates the Wii U version has the 100 rings=Extra Life by now, and while Super Sonic can be unlocked before beating the game in 3DS, those special stages are tiring and forced.
@@filletofish2200 Moving around the 3DS in those 7 special stages is hard, yes, but they aren't that long. You can also just restart right before you're about to fail.
On the other hand, the Wii U version makes you look through EVERY SINGLE LEVEL for 5 SPECIFIC RINGS. And it isn't like those rings are put right in your path.
So yeah, you have either 7 levels of looking like a fool by moving around your 3DS, with the last one being really hard, or you can search like a maniac through every single level in the game for 5 rings.
Between having to clean off every level before I can get Super Sonic, and having to only finish 7 levels with 50 rings, I'll take the 3DS version.
i wonder what your sonic boom review will be like when the game comes out
PSA: The US now has a demo of Sonic Lost World for both the 3DS and Wii U. If you are curious about the game, I recommend you download the demo.
I do hope that Sonic Team returns to the Adventure game play style. In my opinion I think the reason they keep bringing classic Sonic back is because the boost game play has a hard time standing on it's own, bringing back the adventure gameplay and making characters like Tails, Knuckles, and Shadow playable again would solve that issue.
Something I would like to note with the Lost World 3DS special stages is that when you pause in the middle of a special stage, it resets the 3DS gyroscope. I found this to be THE ideal way to play Lost World 3DS Special Stages while in a small confined space, or I was just sitting down.
Also, 20:49, even without this trick that I mentioned above, I did not get shoulder cramps or get dizzy from playing the special stages.
My first playthrough with Lost World (Wii U) was also a terrible and frustrating time, it wasn't until my second playthrough and onward did I start to enjoy the game. It leaves a very bad first impression but you need to stick with it to build the skills to enjoy the game a it's fullest because the game does a terrible job of explaining the new controls.
didn't play the game yet,but judging by his review,i think a less bad dark age of sonic is back

ok dude jesus calm down ok? i'm sorry

He said that it was first impressions, and admitted he hadnt played the game. But can we not make some opinion of a game before we play it? Can I not look at what it's game play, and listen to other's opinion and form some sort of idea? You can get some idea of what a game is, and where it falls short from pictures and videos.
*****
Well he is trying to give a solid first impression. But if we are not allowed to do that, then you are going to waste a lot of money on games you dont like.
***** You must've raged hard when IGN said this game was mediocre.
Person Rocca solid first impressions like this are just ridiculous
I think that sonic team should keep the park-our system, but should improve upon it
Sonic Lost World isn't the only Sonic game where getting 100 rings doesn't grant you an extra life. Unleashed and Colors did that as well
In Unleashed you can, but only once. If you get 100 Rings you'll get one. But if you gain 200, 300, 400, etc. then you don't.
+Monkey D. "Straw Hat" Luffy That's stupid
William White
Yeah, it is.
+Monkey D. "Straw Hat" Luffy Same thing happens in Sonic Colors
William White
Actually, I just tested it out. Just like Lost World, you don't get a 1-up for getting 100 Rings.
Say Johnny Sega just issued a recent patch that fixed many of the issues you had. You now get an extra life for every 100 rings, the asteroid, eagle, rocket and bomb wisps can be now controlled with the analog sticks, and when you continue after a game over you start with 10 lives rather than 5
Say Johnny Sega issued some sprinkles for this turd! Maybe title taste better for you now!
I still play this game after beating it
Gameplay Updates:
Collecting 100 rings will now grant the player an extra life.
In the event of a Game Over, we have doubled the amount of lives the player will begin with when continuing. (From 5 to 10)
The Indigo Asteroid, Crimson Eagle, Orange Rocket, and Black Bomb Color Powers can now be controlled using the analog stick and buttons.
Fixed a rare graphical issue that would sometimes appear during the pinball section of the Frozen Factory casino area.
Additional Updates:
When completing the NiGHTMARE DLC, users will be notified that they can re-play it after scoring 100,000 points.
Items will now appear on the world map
Watching these videos after sonic forces came out. Had to be reminded about some good sonic games
After Forces, I'm actually interested in this. Might get it for Steam.
WHAT!! super sonic DIES when he hits a bomb!
I like how your profile picture some what matches your comment XD
I'm glad the parkour in the 2d sections were acknowledged. I suffer the exact same problem countless times where Sonic runs up a wall when I didn't want to and usually results in a death.
Still enjoyable though.
I just started replaying this game (Wii U version). I like it. It's different, and hard, but it is a solid game mechanics wise, especially when compared to other 3D Sonics. It also really reminds me of the cancelled Sonic X-treme with the cylindrical/ extruded tube level design. It's pretty much the closest thing we'll ever get to Sonic X-treme.
Hopefully Lost World WILL be like Unleashed, and the next Sonic game on the WiiU will be like Colors/Generations and drastically improve on the foundation
20:43 The future of gaming!
This game looks VERY fun. The parkour system meshes so well with Sonic's never-stop-moving thing. But it also looks nothing like the next big main Sonic game it was supposed to be, but instead a spin-off game.
Oh, the quick joke with spaceballs (SUCK! SUCK! SUCK!) was not one I used to get but I do now at it's bloody hilarious!
