- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ธ.ค. 2010
- Christmas time is here, so why not review a game that has nothing to do with the holidays? Hey, at least there are tons of pretty colors...that's like Christmas, right?
Anyway, it's time to look into Sonic Colors for the Nintendo Wii. Is it something worthy of being under your Christmas tree, or is it just a lump of coal? Watch and find out! Happy Holidays! - เกม
Plot Twist: DarkSonic 180 is actually Johnny trolling his fans
Nah, I've seen his picture. He's an overweight, black guy.
+Cherish The V Neck
Best, Joke, Ever
If only that was true...
Um, who?
+destroyerofcomedy Just scroll down a little bit into the comments, you will see
Spoiler Warnng: DarkSonic180 is the final boss of SA3
You mean 06?
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha yessss, I just added some new drama to the fight!
***** I played SA3. The folks of the page were the final boss.
***** Oo, sick burn. I'm so offended.
+DarkSonic180 the meme is here.
Warning, before anyone goes down further, please be informed that the comments section is basically an opinion war zone filled with opinions which may offend you. Also note that Adventure purists are present down below.
You have been warned.
Infinite Zero I'll take my chances
***** Ugh, you again. can't you accept the fact that 06 is shit and sa2 is overrated?
***** can't you accept that fact that sa2 didn't age well and that FF7 is better?
***** Not as bad as you tho.
( FF7 aged well and it's gonna get a remake!! )
***** Lol, I'm pretty sure that when you were born you hit your head. No person in this world can be dumb as you.
"Sonic Colors: The game that got 3D Sonic right!"
...With 75 percent of the game being 2D.
***** Yeah, and not to mention, most 3D segments are just a boring straight line, nothing all the previous 3D Sonic games. Sonic Colors got 2D right, and that's what I reccomend it as. A 2D Sonic game.
You suck, DarkSonic180. LOL
+SuperSaiyanPikmin yeah unleashed and generations have better 3D level design than colors.
Xcalibur64 Much better. Generations was a great game, but not Colors IMO.
Xcalibur64 I enjoyed it, too, but I prefer the 2D Genesis games more. In terms of 3D games, I've really only played this, (if you count it as 3D), the Adventure titles, Generations and Lost World. I liked them all except Lost World.
Plot twist: DarkSonic180 LOVES Sonic Colors.
***** See? HE *LOVES* it!
He *LOVES* IT!
Love as in affection?
Or level of violence?
CEAON I'll break darksonic180's sa2 if he doesn't love Colors
Pretty much
Will DarkSonic180 ever grow up and get a job? Or will he forever be in this videos comments arguing with people he's never met? Find out next time on Sonic X.
Now on Sonic X...
ShadowMSXGrafx 111116: He's just expressing what he thinks, leave him alone!
Miles Torres:...
wow a nwe challenger. wow.
Tony: From what I see, Dark isn't expressing what he thinks, he's *forcing* what he thinks. He's too insecure to let people have their own opinions.
DarkSonic180
Hahahha oh my god. When are you going to get a job?
DarkSonic180
why are you wasting your life complaining about Colors?
DarkSonic180
Oh, that's edgy. You're pretty edgy. At least I have a job and actually do shit with my life. You talk about something you hate online.
"written by the same people who wrote mad world and HAPPY TREE FRIENDS"
I think it was mostly a joke. Madworld was mostly written by Yasumi Matsuno, also known from the Vagrant Story. Happy Tree Friends the series was written by Kenn Navarro and Rhode Montijo.
However, looking at the writing credits for Sonic Colours, the writing team is actually completely new. Two guys had indeed been on the MadWorld writing team, one of them wrote the Happy Tree Friends videogame, among a dozen other things he worked on, and one was on Shenmue and Phantasy Star teams. I don't think this is good for any conclusions whatsoever, except that they have indeed picked a team with serious writing experience. These guys are mostly freelancers though, they go from one unrelated project to another.
They re-hired this team to write Sonic Generations though.
Siana Gearz hmm surprising
Happy Tree Friends...dear god...
Siana Gearz happy tree friends videogame?
Worse, they made fun of every second of Sonic And The Black Knight's story and say that sonic colors is the best sonic story ever
and made fun of everything that modern sonic did that was NOT classic sonic..........
I am glad Sonic isn't the BUTT OF GAMING ANYMORE
Looking at the comment section, I can certainly say that the Sonic fandom cannot agree on what makes a Sonic game good or even great. Some want the Adventure style gameplay, some want the boost formula from Sonic Unleashed - Sonic Generations, some want the classic 2D formula from the Genesis/MegaDrive games. Heck there are some that play Sonic games just for the story.
Because of this, the fanbase is divided into these factions and make it impossible to satisfy the majority of them. And the thing is, when Sonic Team actually makes a good game that caters to a particular style, the other fans have to tell their opinion about it.
Some fans are more open-minded and objective in their critique (like SomecallmeJohnny or Clement, but even they have a Classic bias) while some will just blindly hate it for the most stupid reasons (i.e TOO MUCH 2D, Sonic's eyes are GREEN, it's not like Sonic Adventure so it sucks, the story is too cheesy so it sucks).
Not all Sonic fans are like this mind you, there are some, albeit few, that actually enjoy a good crafted Sonic game regardless of the gameplay style. But here comes the question.
If the fans don't know what they want, how could Sonic Team know?
Marius Urucu Could not be worded better!
Marius Urucu That pretty much sums up everything I think about the fanbase too! XD I couldn't agree more with you.
RodniDemental Now here's the kicker. My first (and favorite) Sonic game is Sonic Generations. Before that, I didn't had any experience with the franchise (outside of Sonic X which was meh) and after completing the game and seeing the credits roll with all blue blur's past games it got me hooked to try the old ones too.
So I started from the old Megadrive/Genesis games with the help of emulation (being from Eastern Europe, it's nigh impossible to find a Megadrive/Genesis console, let alone games for it), to the Advance Series (people forget about these awesome games) to the Adventure Series and all the way back to Generations (except Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic 2006 and the storybook series for obvious reasons and the Wii U games). And guess what, for the most part I had a blast. Gameplay inconsistency aside, the combination between speed, platforming and exploration along with diverse characters, unique stages and memorable soundtrack made me fall in love with this franchise. It has it's flaws (like any other long running game franchise) but I'm willing to take the good with the bad as long as I'm able to have fun with a game.
But not everyone is like that, especially in the Sonic fanbase. You have people who blindly love a Sonic game without acknowledging it's flaws ( i.e. Sonic Adventure 2 or Sonic 2) but nitpick on the tinniest of details when it comes to a game out of their comfort zone (i.e. Sonic Colors or even Sonic Generations) to the point that it becomes hypocritical, and rarely do you get to see someone criticizing a Sonic game in an objective and in-depth manner, with ExoParadigmGamer (recommend watching his channel, especially his Sonic ROR reviews), SomecallmeJohnny and other reviewers along with a small number of Sonic fans being the exception. Maybe it's because I don't have any nostalgia for the series, that I'm able to look at this franchise in a more open-minded and objective way.
Bottom line, I agree with what you said at the end and I also think that Sonic Team should stick with a particular style and refine it with each game (like they did with Sonic Unleashed - Sonic Generations), instead of trying to satisfy an already whiny, indecisive and unsatisfied fanbase. Other elements like the story, music and aesthetics should be taken into account as well to fit the tone of the game, just don't make it super edgy like Shadow the Hedgehog or super kiddy like Sonic Colors (even though I love this game) but more in line with Sonic Adventure 2 (I love this game's story, plotholes and all) or Sonic Unleashed.
Phew... WOW O_O. This is one novel of a TH-cam comment.
Marius Urucu I appreciate your thoughtful response. Funny you mention ExoParadigmGamer, I actually found SomecallmeJohnny's channel because EPG kept mentioning him. I quite enjoy his thorough approach to reviews, gives a much more fair and MUCH more indepth perspective than say the 2-3 minute crap from IGN these adys where the reviewer has obviously barely even beaten the game in some cases. But I digress.
That's cool you got on board after Generations. I have only good things to say about that game really, it truly was a game for the fans based on many of the memorable and favourite parts from older games. And the fact that it's actually a good game means newer players will have fun with it too. I actually don't mind the story of Sonic Colours, but I prefer more along the lines of Sonic Boom (I'm only comparing the 'tone' or 'mood' of Colours to Boom), I'm just saying Colours had a sort of silly approach to the story, came across as a bit kiddy sometimes but I like the fact that Sonic doesn't take things seriously. The relationship between Eggman and Sonic is spot on. It's like an old rivalry where they're just constantly taking the piss and being sarcastic to one another which I prefer to the overly serious approach of even the Adventure titles. I don't mind if they try and make it a bit more 'epic' sometimes perhaps towards the end, but Sonic's never been serious. Or maybe I'm just imposing a preconception I have. lol
I agree the Advance and Rush series (including Colours DS) do seem to be underrated and not talked about very often. But then again I think they do have quite a strong following, because there's not too many things to complain about unless it's one of the extra vocal fans that was nitpicking about the momentum not being like the mega drive games or the boost button breaking the spindash or whatever. xD In any case, you probably made a wise choice not to play Shadow/06/Secret Rings before playing the classics because it may have obscured your impression of the series. BUT, I must say, if you do enjoy the series, they can be worth checking out, if not just for historical purposes. I mean those games still have a bit of a cult following. Some people do like them.
All of those 'dark age' games seem to have something in common: They tend to look good, to the point where if you watched a player that knew what they were doing, the games might actually look quite fun. They all seem like they have potential. but ultimately were rushed and unfinished because Sega have a really bad track record of forcing developers to meet deadlines at the cost of quality. This has been happening as far back as Sonic 3 where they couldn't meet the deadline so they had to turn it into two games. And it happens almost every 5 years to meet 'anniversary' dates, which was the cases with Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Genesis and Sonic 06. I'm surprised they seemingly haven't learnt from this as Sonic Boom was clearly not finished. It seems like they should rethink their business models instead of trying to always get in before christmas or hit an anniversary date. It doesn't work in the long run if the game is a failure, I just wish they spent a bit more time in development with Boom, 06, Secret Rings etc. Even games like Adventure 2 could have benefited from a bit more play testing and polish but they got lucky with that one. Haha
Marius Urucu Couldn't agree anymore. The Sonic fanbase is a clusterfuck.
Is DarkSonic180 seriously still here? It's been over a year and he's still crying over a game, Jesus Christ
Some people don't understand that everyone has opinions, some people just can't respect them either.
I bet his mom is really disappointed.
+Cherish The V Neck Did you know DarkSonix180 is an advertisement for condoms and abortions?
he's a parasite.
FAILED abortions...
Ikr? Even after I said a positive point about it!
2010: "This game rocks and so does Sonic Adventure 2!"
2014: "This game rocks, Sonic Adventure 2 sucks!"
2018: "This game sucks, Sonic Adventure 2 is meh!"
(update - 2021: "This game rocks and so does Sonic Adventure 2...again!")
SolarstrikeVG So true.
SolarstrikeVG it’s getting bashed for it being a 2D piece of shit now lmao
I consider this game to be pretty boring. I stopped after beating the first boss.
r/SonicTheHedgehog in a nutshell.
@@bluedragon9925 Can indeed vouch for that, I was on their Discord server for a while and that's what happened.
Johnny: This is some of the best writing that a Sonic game has ever had, this game is better than Sonic Adventure 2.
Comment section: HOW DARE YOU SA2 IS THE BEST THIS GAME AND IT'S WRITING SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me: It's just a game calm down.
haha XD yup
Zyad Alhayoti
I understand the appeal of SA2 and I understand why colours (I live in the UK) is iffy to people, but if Johnny prefers colours to adventure 2 that's fine.
Gamer Ninetyfive finally someone who just says that its his opinion
Zyad Alhayoti
SA2 fanboys are the worst...
Until I met 06 fanboys
That's the sonic fan base that I hate so much, they're worse then the dbz nogstila tards and genwunners, combine ( just a note but I'm a big Dragon ball and pokemon fan so I'm not saiyan that out of spite, the idiots who think that uncut kai missed up the lines despite the fact that it's the manga lines and genwunners just ugh
I love your excitement for Super Sonic. Especially that "YES!"
The first time I saw Aquarium Park Act 1, I had tears in my eyes. That was the most beautiful stage I've ever seen in all of Sonic.
Dear lord. I am surprised that there isn't much gore in this game. Seeing as how the story was written by the same people who brought you Happy Tree Friends and Madworld... The two most gory things I have ever seen.
It is Sonic.
Uhh hello sonic the hedgehog a childhood icon
Have you seen God of War games or Mortal Kombat X-Rays and fatalities? These are goriest thing I've seen...
yeah, I was VERY surprised when he said that it was written by the ppl who wrote those things, I srsly thought "o.o how...?"
Just a question for Darksonic180.
Why do you care so much about other people liking this game better than SA2? Like seriously, they're just other people's opinions.
Hehe i like your PP
Thanks
hey your picture is cute
K
At least nobody blame someone for liking a Sonic game (even a bad one) right?
Guys, guys, can't you just say "I like Sonic Colors" or "I don't like Sonic Colors, I prefer Sonic Adventure" without jumping at each other's jugular?
Apparently not....
I will now use this special whistle to call forth DarkSonic180.
*coooooooo* *theclassicgamesareamazing* *coooooooooooooo*
lmao he actually came
+SonicOtakuSNG I'm gonna need to use this one sometime.
OK NOW IM PISSED THIS IS THE FIRST TIME EVER SEEING THIS DARKSONIC180 and I have never seen him but apparently everyone else has what the is he popular he has no video on his channel I feel late and sad
Jesus Christ, that nobody actually IS well known! Holy shit!
SA2 is bae
This comment section is the main reason why I hate talking about Sonic. Nobody can make up their mind on what makes a good Sonic game, and people are antagonized for liking certain games or liking certain games over others. Granted, some people do deserve to be called out because of their rancid behavior (mainly this DarkSonic180 guy I see people talking about, and after reading what he has to say, it's not hard to see why he's being antagonized), but eventually it just gets tiresome. I like Colors over the Adventure games as well, but I still like the Adventure games for what they do right. While both Adventure 1 and Adventure 2 do have their negative traits, if people still end up enjoying the games (like yours truly here), don't see them as idiotic or naive. Oh, and please stop acting like preferring Colors over the Adventure games is some huge confession that needs to be made and that you're going against the law or some bullshit. It's getting old. You like one game over the other regardless of its quality. Why does this need to be some overblown confession?
preach, you took the words right out of my mouth
+Hub Pie I know right. I mean nowadays, you can't even say that you genuinely like a certain Sonic game, no matter how good or bad it is, without somebody questioning your mental sanity.
Still, I am glad there are people like SomecallmeJohnny, Clement and other youtubers who step out of the masses and shed some light on the Sonic franchise. It gives you hope
+Marius Urucu Cobanermani456, Stephenkux and Tails Channel are also good examples of youtubers who shed some light on the Sonic franchise.
+DarkSonic180 atleast clement actually try's other sonic games and gives them a chance
Sonic adventure > Sa2. Super Mario world > SMB3. Mother 3 >EarthBound. Bomberman 2 > Bomberman 1. Okay i will calm.
5:20 Glad to see this referenced in the Johnny vs version
"Good job, Sega Team! You're learning from your past mistakes!"
4 years later...Sonic Boom
Not Sonic Team.
But 2 years after that...
There not learning from their past mistakes there running away from them
@@solarstrike33 then after that sonic forces happened
@@dngr_4209 That's what I meant by "2 years after that".
Sonic Boom the show was good tho.
Johnny: Colors is better then SA2
Adventure fantards: HOW DARE HE!! ROUND UP THE TROOPS, JACK, WERE HEADING FOR THIS IDIOT!
CHHAARRGGE!
***** It's true. Look at your comments, they're everywhere.
***** My point? MY POINT? Did you _read_ my comment? That's my point. Here we go, with the stupid 1-3 word comments.
***** ^Look at this kid.
I have better things to do, bye.
Woah, what's up with the attitude? Calm down. I know you're ignorant, but I also knew you could respect opinions, sometimes. Looks like I was wrong. If you'll excuse me, I'll be going now....
***** Enough, don't reply, thanks.
"Where's that damn fourth chaos emerald?" Oh shadow, your swearing is so unintentionally cute :3
this is my favorite game of all time, the memories i have the with, the terrific 10/10 music and the incredible level themes and levels themselves make it a great game, and everytime i watch this review i get such great vibes, its one of ur best johnny!
The 2D sections, while meh are still more enjoyable than mech shooting or treasure hunting. *Waits for DarkSonic180*
CEAON Jesus Christ i HATE the treasure hunting and mech shooting! The treasure hunting sections have a shitty radar and the mechs control like ass!
See? He's right on cue.
CEAON At least you have speed in the 2D sections!
***** Games don't need a great story to be good. Take minecraft for example. And i'm not a fan of the SA2 plot. Mostly because the plot takes itself too serious. Like Johnny said, this is the story about a super fast blue hedgehog, a fox with two tails and a fat doctor who creates machines. SEGA shouldn't take it serious.
***** First games needed good graphics to be good now the games need a good story? Look a new game! Awesome graphics, awesome soundtrack, unique gameplay, but the story is not really well. That means THE GAME FUCKING SUCKS !!! Makes sense. You're logic is weird.
Didn’t actually watch the video, I’m just here for DarkSonic180
Can't we all just agree that Colors and SA2 are both great games
Squidward Xanaxacles no
I'll agree that they are both really fun games. I don't know if either of them are truly great, because they do have a good number of problems, Adventure 2 especially. But I still have a lot of fun with both of them.
no
Yeah, but why do we need to compare good games with bad games, video games are made for fun, that’s what SEGA needs to recognise. It’s all about fun not trying to match up to people’s expectations

awesomegames.miraheze.org/wiki/Sonic_Adventure_2
Ok, gonna throw my two cents. I prefer a light hearted Sonic over the melodramatic tone Sonic Adventure 2. As someone who has recently played the Adventure games, I kind of agree with Johnny on a lot of what he says.
Lot's of people need to understand that SIMPLE does not mean dull and boring. I prefer a simple story with a lot of witty banter that'll make me chuckle. That's not to say that a simple story can't have high stakes. Just look at SA1, it had its light hearted story, a simple plot and a big climax. Have the modern writers rework the dialogue to be more witty when it needs humor and there you go.
As for gameplay, I don't care any more. I just want the gameplay to be consistently good
***** Simple does not mean dull and boring, it just means simple. SA 1's is rather simple. Eggman unleashes Chaos, Sonic and friends try to stop him. Simple, yet we still get to find out what happened to Knuckle's people, we have character development for Tails. Throw in a better balance of humor and serious moments and bam, there you go.
As for wether a bad story would keep me from replaying a game. Really that depends on the game itself. Many games with bad stories can be saved by excellent gameplay. Just look at Mario and DK: Country. Very simple almost non-existant plots but they are some of the most fun games out there
***** Well that's your tastes. To me, it really depends on the game. Same was as how to you a bad story can bog down a game, to me bad gameplay can make a game suck. It's a GAME, so I want to PLAY and have fun.
That's the beauty of video games, they can have both. But some games just don't call for it. I don't need to have some epic story to drive me to stop Bowser as Mario, I just need a good challenge and fun gameplay that'll make me smile.
But for a game like, say, and RPG or Metal Gear, then yeah, if the story sucks, then it's not worth playing
***** And as melodramatic as I find SA2's story. It's as dark as I'll accept Sonic to go. Its nowhere near as bad as Shadow the hedgehog's ridiculous attempts at being "dark and edgy". Just would like more of a balance between the colorful humor and the darker undertones.
Like a well written kid's cartoon
***** Then you're not gonna enjoy his classic Genesis game which are amazing 2D platformers
So you don't play any classic NES, SNES or Genesis games? Many of them some of the greatest games of all time and they had little to no story
I honestly prefer Jason Griffith more than Roger Craig Smith as Sonic's voice actor.
Count me in
Yep.
I do too especially in Unleashed
True Gamer Q Maybe Sonic 2017 will be different. I feel like the trailer had a dark-ish tone to tell us they'll try to be more serious with the story.
+Gaming Sensei I hope it's not as dark like Shadow and 06 but kinda like adventure 2
I hate the Sonic fanbase so much. Every time someone says something like, "Colors is better than Adventure 2." A part of the fanbase attack that person and anyone that agrees with him. Also it's making people like me who like both SA2 and Colors (I find Colors to be better) look bad, and makes it look like anyone who likes SA2 is a person with the brain of a six year old who's devote of reason.
This was the fanbase 4 years ago, you'll saw the progress.... *buddy*
The Sonic fanbase are still toxic to this day & it's gonna get much worst.
JJ C I think how toxic a sonic fan is, is based on what sonic games they like.
I would make a list saying “if you like ______ game you are toxic” but I don’t want to upset anyone.
Honestly screw this fanbase. Sonic Team should probably stop depending on them for ideas
@@icee1683 You're right. Sega was catering towards the Classic Sonic fans and IGNorant critics, non-fans, and fake fans (like ikagura) for the past decade. They should stop listening to them as it will only make the series worse!
Thank you for giving this game a 9/10. You have no idea how happy this made on the first watch. This is my favorite 3D Sonic game, favorite Sonic game, and favorite game of all time.
What, do you like Sonic Adventure 2? This game's aged well.
Dude, this game is MILES better than Adventure 2.
Well, I like Colors, and you like Adventure 2. So can we please stop, debating which is better?
To you, it isn't. To me, it clearly is.
***** Yeah, if playing the DS version. Are you part of the Sonic Fanbase?
"Best Modern Sonic game ever"
Several years later: Too much 2D, noticably bland level design in a good chunk of stages, and the sole reason why people hate Forces.
Sonic colors and sonic cd have both been going through the phase in this franchise where every sonic fan in existence decides to rewrite the quality of the game that was originally conceived as a good game, similar to how people started hating on the adventure titles in the early 2010s when they were respected games in the community beforehand.
@@demetriuskafkoulas5005 Colors and CD were, are and will always be good.
The Adventure games are overrated as hell.
@@demetriuskafkoulas5005 1 year later and now ppl are saying 06 is good and misunderstood, I don't get this fanbase
Sonic forces actually sucked tho unlike colors
@@guardianhirro Me neither. I absolutely hate that Sega rather listen to them (like shoehorning a serious story or multiple playable characters in Forces).
At least Mania is the best thing to come since the Genesis games.
I'm pretty sure that 99% of the SA2 fans haven't even played this game and they call it crap because it doesn't have an "Epic" story.
Do you seriously check the comments of this video every day and reply to everyone that says that Sonic Colors is good?We get It,you hate the game.Move on already.Do something else besides bashing this game.
On that I can agree.I'm so sick of hearing "Sonic 06 sucked,3D Sonic sucks".That was 9 years ago.Can't people forget about it already?Same with Sonic Boom.I think that both games are bad but I think people crap on them way too much.
Retro Gamer Considering that 06 was a highly ambitious title that ended up being up one of the most critically panned games of all time, and also considering how utterly loud the Sonic fanbase can be, that ain't happening, unfortunately.
Fuck
Solaris642 Somebody needs a hug.
Wait. So the people who made Mad World and fucking HAPPY TREE FRIENDS made the story for Sonic Colors? Something is definitely wrong there.
Because?
Brian Aranki _Do you know how gory happy tree friends is? It just confuses me how the people who made that help with this game._
JυτsυΜαлιαc456 Yes, I've seen how gory the show is, and if you asked me, it's pleasing to see that there's heart in a pair of writers from a sadistic show
+JυτsυΜαлιαc456 That show is just oh my god....
Xcalibur64 At least you know they have heart, if their work in Colors, Generations, and Lost World is anything to go by
This comment section , : SA2 is a masterpiece , Sonic colours has terrible writing and its jokes are bad, it is highly overrated.
SA2 Review comment section : SA2 is bad , and highly overrated.
Mindfuck.
Well Johnny did get his points across on why he thinks Adventure 2 is overrated.
Sonic Forces comment section: SA2 is great again! Give us Adventure 3!
That reach for the stars theme intro really shows us that sonic can do anything that he chooses to do and nothing will get in his way 10/10 Great in it's own way and really fast and exciting to play
Excellent review, dude. Your reviews are also quite inspiring. Keep it up!
Adventure 2 is still better, but I still really enjoy Colors.
"Better than Adventure 2"
#ShotsofTruthFired
CEAON Couldn't agree more.
***** I'm now convinced that you're my personal stalker
CEAON He isn't stalking you. He visits this video daily, just to reply to every comment that dares to agree with Johnny that Colors is better then SA2. Sad, ain't it?
***** You just happen to follow me wherever I go. Yeah, okay
Omar Elmosrati So he goes on videos just to cry about people disagreeing with him? Holy shit
Sonic Colors is the best Main Series title since Sonic Heroes.
sonic100X I agree.
TheBlue Typhoon17 Sonic Unleashed could have been the title but the Werehog stages brought the game down some little.
sonic100X I like his gameplay (especially when you upgrade his stats), but his levels really overstay their welcome, especially with the mandatory medal hunting.
TheBlue Typhoon17 Before, I wanted Sonic Unleashed to be the title that would give sonic a better come back, I also wanted Sonic and the Secret Rings to be that title. Both of those games were pretty Good but they weren't the Best games. I didn't find the Werehog Stage to be that terrible but they were still good. I really did like the Daytime stages, they're the best parts of the game, but there were some flaws in them though.
sonic100X Agreed.
Whenever I hear the beginning reach for the stars I get a huge sense of nostalgia. That was my first ever sonic game and first game I 100%ed
Ah the sanic fanbase,what a "unique" group of "people"
-i see what you did there-
***** I'm not chubby
***** me too uguu
-jk i lave u-
Para Soul Great place, huh? It's like, the greatest fanbase ever. -sarcasm-
Seriously, fuck this fanbase.
i remember seeing this in my sub box and being so exited
and it was 7 years ago, good lord
i can believe it was 6 years since i played this game, i have such soft spot for this game. i love pretty much everything about this game. I love the co op, I love the music, I love the stage themes, I love the level design, I love boost system, I love the wisps. i miss when sonic games where as of quality of games like these
I have a dream, that one day... Johnny will mute +DarkSonic180 from commenting on any of his videos, I have a dream.
***** Looks like bad people have dreams too.
***** Sonic dreams collection
***** You hear that? That's the sound of me fucking with your brain. Now were even.
***** You know the opponent has lost when his only tactic is to repeat himself to "hopefully" annoy the other. Now it's just a sad display of repeating yourself until your pride has depleted.
***** Took you long enough to reply. But I actually thought you were gonna be smart about this and not reply ever. Sadly you repeated yourself again.What a shame you must be to your parents.
I freaking love this game. I can remember renting it from the library, and being blown away by it.
I come to this review to hear Johnney say happy tree friends at 3:08
I agree dude, this game is miles better than adventure 2
*****
Colors>Adventure 2
Generations>Unleashed
Boom>06
64>Sunshine
Galaxy 2>Galaxy 1
Melee>Brawl
***** Yeah I agree with pretty much everything you said. To me Boom is just slightly better than 06, Sunshine is better than 64 and Both Melee and Brawl are great with Brawl being only an once better than Melee.
***** Just like how Melee is better than Brawl.
***** Yeah the gamecube had a lot of fucking garbage like Super Mario Sunshine and Sonic Adventure 2 Battle.
Miles better? TAILS!
love this game through and through. my main problem with it was when sonic and tails told a joke in the cutscenes: remember the expression "you killed the joke?" well that would fit this perfectly. Sonic and tails would tell a joke and then ramble on about the joke and the joke that wasn't even funny to begin with would just become cringey.
And now Colors Ultimate has been announced
The final SGB review before Johnny VS.
As soon as I finished the video I had to rewind 4:20-4:48 sew many times! Hysterical XD Great Review SCMJ! I'll keep on watching ;)
~LLV
It's funny how he makes fun of the crappy 4kids actors in this video, but called their acting 'top notch' (*shudders*) in previous videos.
sadly he forgot "IT'S NO USE!"
Maybe because that one was decent compared to the rest? For comical value anyway.
Even Sonic's getting a good laugh out of it!
I'll try to summon darkspinesonic180 after many months again
*Train noise*
Sonic Colors is one of the best Sonic games made
It may be old but this is still the funniest scmj vid to me
Who else is back after watching his new Johnny Vs. of this game?
"This game has some of the best writing in any sonic game."
Damn did this review age poorly or what?
@@demetriuskafkoulas5005 Still better written than Forces or SA2
@@ikagura replace sa2 with 06
@@icee1683 Nope, both Forces, SA2 and '06
@Sarim Doesn't matter, Sonic shouldn't need a dark nor serious story.
You can't imagine how much I love this game.
So i watched all of SGB Era Reviews and well their not as bad as i thought but certainly they don't age well the Video Quality is consistently Scuffed but becomes less bad as you progress but some of these ratings 8.5 and 9 for Sonic 4 Ep1 and Sonic Colors respectively especially how much he complained about both those ratings should be lower 4.5 Sonic 4 Ep1 and 7 for Colors. Also the best intro of this Era has to be the one in the Contra Review it's definitely reminds me of the current one. All and all it was a good time.
when sonic yells for Elise, he sounds like a dieing mule. XD
It’s weird being recommended this 10 years later
This game gave me a lot of classic sonic throwbacks. Especially since only sonic, tails and eggman are the main characters in this game.
Lets not forget the game is mostly 2D.
Draco Blitz Yes exactly.
Steve Spud I like 2D but I think 3D is better.
Draco Blitz It's probably for the best, no point in arguing with a troll.
Abassador Pineapples i know what you mean, to be honest i hate the other sonic characters, they were cool in the beginnning but got very boring and pointless
I really want to play colors, so, do you guys know if the game will run on the wii u using the gamepad, or the pro controller or will i need to get a wii controller? And also, i really like the adventure series (mainly adventure DX, is probably my favorite 3d sonic tied with generations), but those games have flaws, mainly adventure 2, i find that the mech sections and the treasure hunting were downgraded from the gama sections and knuckles sections from the first adventure.
I hope this year's month of sonic finally has you tackling sonic's handheld career! (gamegear, gameboy advance, and nintendo DS) seriously the advance titles blew my mind and I'm moving onto looking at the sonic rush titles thanks to your buddy Clement!
and I'm highly convinced about sonic colors on DS but I still gotta see your true review of sonic colors DS, so I hope you deliver the goods johnny!
Damn, 10 years later and this review still holds up
Honestly, the review nailed the modern YT reviewer feeling/quality so well that I didn't even notice this was made 10 years ago until the end.
Can someone please tell me the song that starts playing in 4:23 just when he is saying goodbye to the old voices,pleeeease i have been searching that song for years
hey you can record ds footage now so that means a rush series and sonic colors ds right?
FINALLY A GOOD SONIC GAME (in my opinion)
Genesis titles(only s3&k)
Eric Tounge than you've never played unleashed or generations
Ryan Fanstone prove it
Ryan Fanstone first off you can control the camera so just put the camera where you want it to be,the main point about the day time stages is remembering level design so how about you get skill, would you rather the werehog battle or the Sonic boom style of fighting? Eggmanland is subjective you either find it good or bad ,the final boss,at least it's not a fucking time eater,if the game is bad why does the Ign review of unleashed have over 9000 dislikes and not even over 1000 likes.How about you stop being such a fake ass Sonic fan and appreciate unleashed like a good Sonic fan,if people hate it so much why do SO MANY people want it ported to next gen consoles?(the only thing I agree with is the framerate ,that shits awful but at least the game is beautiful)
Ryan Fanstone I see some points I disagree with like fans defending all Sonic games just because a small amount like boom doesn't mean it's the whole community,But I just want to say watch a guy called coopercastilles review on unleashed it's a really good review (even though it's really long)If I'm gonna be honest I think colours is a total downgrade of unleashed,blocky level design,cringy dialogue,bad voice acting (imo)TOO MUCH 2D terrible double jump, REALLY linear stages,the wisps and the list goes on but I think unleashed is the best out of all the boost games and SO DO MANY OTHER PEOPLE around the world,here I'm not gonna argue anymore because arguing with people in the internet is the most dumbest shit
I just imagine wesker playing Sonic color realizing sonic voice by Chris
And him just screaming
He’s name
Does Johnny read the comments from this video? If so, I wonder how he would react?
He might explode.
It would be awesome if Johnny did a review on the sly cooper series, what do you guys think?
I agree
Before I jump in the bandwagon, lemme just say this was an awesome review, Johnny.
Now then, I'll be honest. SA2 is enjoyable but I'll take Colors, Generations, Unleashed and the Classic trio over that any day.
Torches and pitchforks down, edgelords.
***** Torches and pitchforks down, mah boy. Relax. It's just a random dude's opinion. No need to act like the SA3 folks over on Facebook. And if I had low standards, I'd be one of those who enjoys Sonic 06. Or Ride To Hell: Retribution. Or ET 2600. Or Shadow The Hedgehog. The Game, not the character.
***** Fine, a portion of 'em. And geez, not even 10 comments in and you're already jumping to the insults. Eh. Your loss. Ya bit, fishy.
***** Not my fault they attack people who have a difference of opinion on occasion. Y'know, ya seem mad about something. I mean, you come at the defense of the Holy SA2 the moment someone says they like the current games more and you jump to insults first second, while me and others are just chill. What's the matter?
***** For a second, I thought someone pressed the mute button on ya. You're too aggressive, man. Everyone's chill and you're angrier than Yosemite Sam.
***** And I really didn't attack anything. I said SA2 is enjoyable, but I prefer the Boost and Classic trios.
7:45 It's a SEGA Saturn! Eh? Eh? ... Ok. I'll go.
The 2D sections could stand to be a little less zoomed out. Especially the in the Starlight Carnival boss section where you have to grab rings and wisp capsules that fall out of the boss while avoiding spike balls.
Is it weird that I get Goosebumps when the super sonic theme happens as he shouts "SUPER SONIC!!!" XD
Why is everybody hating the intro?
Because of that annoying ass synth
Hey that synth is PERFECT
No I'm not kidding. I've played this game before and it's AWESOME
I would have loved the intro song if there was no lyrics. The melody is very catchy (in a video game music sense) but the One direction type pop song just gets me...
Only came back to this video for the voice actor montage at 4:20 since it was just announced that Roger is leaving the role. Whenever you review the next game with new voice actors you should do a callback to it.
Hes back

Huh. He announces his departure months ago only to say that this wasnt a one off situation. How... strange. But I dont mind his take on Sonic. Just hope that whenever his last game comes around, the direction in the writing and tone doesnt screw over his performance

This video hasn’t aged well and so as Colors
Are you shitting me? This is one of the best review videos of all time, it perfectly hit the qualitative standard for a modern YT review, even though it's 10 years old. I didn't even realize this was 10 years old solely because it was so well done that I assumed it'd been made once YT game reviews had been nailed down to a working formula.
the only reviews worth coming back to
edit: anybody from 2017 or the future?
While I was going through Act 2 of Tropical Resort, Eggman was saying over the intercom that someone's hover car had been broken into, but it was actually his ride and said after realizing that "wait a minute. what the heck?"
the fact that people are still arguing over colors vs sa2 and mentioning darksonic180 on an 11 year old video is both funny and sad
Yeah, Sonic fans being Sonic fans.
Great review! I think this game is way better than sa2, yes I just said it. COME AT ME FANBOYS!
Edit: I'm going to be honest as of now both colors and sa2 are meh to me.
OK what the f..k was I thinking, this game isn't as good as sa2 but it's still good.
muhammed sabally Hah, knew that'd be your response.
OK seriously I think colors is better than sa2. I won't let other fans cloud my opinion.
lol I agree, this is better than SA2, but I still prefer SA2, know why? CUZ ITS ON PC, srsly, all the sonic games should be on PC, idk WHY they release them only on consoles, I mean, sonic the hedgehog 1, 2, 3 and knuckles were all actually released for PC, and no i dont mean emulators, they were actual PC games, so why stop? ik that they released sonic generations for PC, but still
Zyad Alhayoti Sonic colors is no where near as good as SA2, except that the music is good, and the graphics are gg, other then that, SA2 > colors
Rest in Peace SGB Reviews :(
That gasp when you turn Super Sonic actually made me laugh out loud. You sound like a kid on Christmas :p

Great Review Man!
It's good that you can't homing attack the wisp capsules because if you want to do a double jump you might attack the wisp capsule. It will be a problem in aquarium park because of the swimming mechanics.
If you guys care at all, this was the video that got me interested in Johnny.
Sonic Colors is amazing, hopefully we see an HD rerelease sometime.
yeah if they do make a hd remake maybe they can actually make it 3d

Whats the pink thing following the sonic robot in the special stages?
The adventure games,heroes,and colors are pretty much heaven for me
I'm not a fan of most of the recent Sonic titles at all but I thought this game was very good. Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations were good.
11:43 This will be my reaction if we get sonic adventure 3 with a playable super sonic like this
Also every time I see these videos I always end up seeing the Fooly Cooly poster and it kept my curiosity going until I saw the show and it's really awesome.
I just noticed that little effect at 0:07. Nice one, John~
Remember when this game was praised? I do. Hell, a lot of kids in my 7th grade class had those Sonic hats.
But today.... everyone hates this game because it’s post 2010 and not like the adventure games.
Typical fan: Oh noes!. This guy thinks a game is better than Sanic Adventure 2!, better flame his video constantly.
*Looks at the various things Colours does right*
*Looks towards the various unneeded changes that SA2 made to SA1, and then went on to make an inferior sequel*
Yeah, sure. The only thing SA2 ha going for it is the Chao Garden, and the Multiplayer.
SA2's story has to be the most overrated in the franchise. It has a few interesting moments, but these are few and far between.
Not to mention that the very best parts of the story happen at the start, and then the end.
Hell, SA1 had a better story than this.
Truth be told. You need more than exposition and character development to craft a good story.
There's hardly any humour, there's no sense of an upbeat tone, boring and somewhat forced dialogue, horrific voice acting.
Heroes has a far better story than this.
Colours isn't perfect, far from it. But it's a much better game than the Adventure games IMO.
SA2 doesn't have the worst story, but it's far from the best.
Colours doesn't pander to anyone. Fans told SEGA to actually put some effort into the next game, and they did.
Besides, it's a good idea to listen your fan base (especially when it's a part of it that doesn't bitch about everything)
There are many storylines in anything Sonic related that beat out SA2 in terms of tone and story telling.
The only pandering is in generations, which is clearly fuelled by nostalgia (which isn't a bad thing at all. Even better considering the lack of nostalgic elements in Post Heroes Sonic games)
Sonic Rush & Adventure.
Sonic Advance series.
Sonic Heroes.
Sonic OVA
Sonic SATAM
The list continues.
Sonic Colours was made with one mind-set. "make a good Sonic game"
Oh yes. because taking one of the few decent entries in the Sonic series and then crafting a game from it is totally a bad idea *shot*
Actually it is. If you ignore you're fan base, then you're doing the exact opposite of what a game is supposed to do, make money.
If you don't listen to what fans want, then well what do you think will happen?.
Relying on a commentary based on Sonic because you can't think of anything creative to say yourself, oh the irony.
From what it seems. You appear to be "fuck 2D, love 3D" whilst flaming Sonic games that are actually worth playing.
Nostalgia isn't a bad thing. It goes to show you actually remember you have a fan base.
Sa2's story is good. But, it's no where near as good as other fans make it out to be.
It's not even entertaining, I found more entertainment in a game with almost no story, in comparison.
Sonic Unleashed was good, much better than anything the 3D title's even bothered trying.
I didn't say it did. I said it uses gameplay similar to it, whilst throwing 2D into the mix.
So long as you make quality title's, you can.
Not listening to the people who keep your series alive by buying your product is a good idea?.
It's franchise's like Resident Evil that are falling of the face of the earth, because they never listened to it's fan base after it's 90's career was over.
Sonic is in the same position. Instead of sticking with a consistent style of gameplay that people like. Sonic game stick with forceful gimmicks that fans are forced to use in order to play the game.
Not to mention fan fiction like stories, pathetic characters, a direction that never worked to begin with, along with the complete demolition of what made Sonic games what they were.
It's a wonder as to why SEGA even bothers listening to the likes of you.
So, slowing down to allow for some actual platforming is bad?, who'd of knew?.
There are much more sides to the Sonic fan base than that. You've got All-Rounders (me), EPIC PLOTZ, DARK SANWIK (you), Adventure realists, Classic fans, Western fans, it goes on.
I'd also like to inform you that not every Classic fan is an idiot. and from what I've seen, the Adventure fan base appears to be much worse, demanding that every Sonic game be 3D, and be structured like the Adventure games.
Sega can listen to fans, it only took them so long to do so. Honestly, I feel sorry for Sega, so much to work with.
Could you look at capcom vs snk 2 for the Nintendo GameCube? its okay,for 2d fighter status,I guess
It's funny that it took Sonic this long to finally learn how to swim. Usually with water levels it's "stick to the floor and get air bubbles once in awhile to avoid drowning" till you either get out of the water or find the goal. Whatever comes first.
You can almost smell the anger of the SA2 fans because of Johnny's bold opinions. SA2 fan: People like things I don't liiiike?! ARGH!
