    About The Game:
    Sonic the Hedgehog is a video game franchise created and produced by Sega. The franchise centers on a series of speed-based platform games. The protagonist of the series is an anthropomorphic blue hedgehog named Sonic, whose peaceful life is often interrupted by the series' main antagonist, Doctor Eggman. Typically, Sonic-usually along with some of his friends, such as Tails, Amy, and Knuckles-must stop Eggman and foil any plans of world domination. The first game in the series, released in 1991, was conceived by Sega's Sonic Team division after Sega requested a mascot character. The title was a success, it spawned many sequels, and it transformed Sega into a leading video game company during the 16-bit era in the early to mid 1990s.

      The story, music, and visuals were neat, but I hate the gameplay and controls with a passion. And for me, a game that fails at that fails entirely.
      If they remade it with mechanics and controls closer to something like Unleashed's day stages, I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.

      I only thought it was okay... it wasn’t bad, but it definitely wasn’t good. SatBK was one of the first sonic games I got, and I loved it, but the more I go back and play it or even watch gameplay, I notice that it just doesn’t fit well with sonic. Sure his attitude is, well... well it’s sonic, but the rest of it isn’t. It would be fine if it was it’s own thing, but people mainly don’t like it because it’s a sonic game... and motion controls

      It's part of the videogame story telling where all character development reset to zero and you never have any major plot involving those characters or what happened again in the series. Of course I disagree with this being an entirely bad thing since E101 Gamma was awesome. shadow's would have been too if they left him alone, but the decided he was the exception and gave him character development to write him back into the series.

      @charleyrodijk1675 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      To be fair, I can see why it can be seen bad. It's a shame that it got overused, but as a song, it's decent. I prefer the Evil Foundry theme. Sonic and the Black Knight is slightly better overall imo.

  • @noctiliogames350

    This was actually one of my favorite Sonic games of all time. I didn't play all of them, granted. Sonic CD still eludes me, but I've never thought of most of the issues in this game you have as actual problems with the game.
    When I was bad at using the controls, I played until I got better or got better equipped, then the game was awesome. I never had a problem using the Wii remote in the ways asked and once you get the hang of it and memorize a stage, you can style and show off and jump through huge sections of the stages that you'd normally have to proceed slowly through.
    I STILL listen to this game's music. I think it's amazing.
    Our views differ drastically and that's cool, but I thought this game was a fantastic time.

      NoctilioGames How can Sonic CD elude you?! Hunt that game down and play it! It's one of Sonic's shining moments, introducing both Metal Sonic and the figure eight peel out. The special stages are quite unique as well, much different then the usual "collect x number of rings".

I totally forgot this game even had it until you mentioned it, and now I have a ton of memories of ACTUALLY ENJOYING the whole game, party mode and all. To be fair, at the time I thought that the story in Sonic games was the most important part. Ah, the wonders of childhood innocence...

    Actually, despite the popular opinion, I really enjoyed playing Sonic and the Secret Rings and Black Knight. Were they hard? Yes. Were the controls questionable? Maybe. Do these two things make a game bad? Not in my book. Am I right in my opinion based on everyone else's standards? I don't know and I don't care.

    You know, I loved this game as a kid, even if the controls were total garbage (which I knew even back then). Considering the target demographic, I'd say that at least makes it a passable game. After all, you see people praise Math Blaster as a great math game for kids, but that's because it's a game for kids. Taking Sonic seriously does the same thing as playing Math Blaster as an adult with no nostalgia for it.

    • @tracyblanchard7663
      @tracyblanchard7663 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Also, it was an early Wii game. It fell into the early era Wii game trap of using full motion controls. Not that hard to explain.

    • @TheEeveeKing
      @TheEeveeKing 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      This game should not be passible as a kids game. Kids should have standards in terms of game design. That's like saying children should eat dog food because they are children. Seriously, this game isn't that good. I played it when I was a kid as well, but I played it last year, and my opinion changed like that.
      Tell me, should Metroid Other M be praised because it's meant to appeal to kids, or FE:11 does well because it sticks to how FE:1 did what it did? *Of course not!* There needs to be quality.
      -And for the record, math blaster was creative, it had time and effort poured into it, and it was a well designed game for kids. It's QUALITY entertainment, with it's focus being for kids.-
      And they realeased the game with serious controll problems, design issues, and everything else bad about the game. Name me another game at launch with such bad motion controlls.

    • @protoluigi2047
      @protoluigi2047 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Robert Blanchard It being for kids is NOT an excuse for a game to not at least try. Kids don't deserve total garbage just because they're kids. This was just a shameless cash grab because Sega couldn't be assed to wait until the game was in better shape for release. They deserve every harsh criticism that they get because they make stupid decision after stupid decision.

      Although there was plenty of jank involving the level obstacles, I felt like the basic movement and dash attack worked perfectly.

    @wakingwithamask 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Honestly I loved playing this game
    And used to love when 7 rings in had played I actually have it play more often on smash and was happy it was implemented. Also not sure how. Fast you were moving the Wii remote but if you slow down on how fast you move Sonic left in right on the control you end up understand the controls much better, to a point you can fly through levels with a limited amount of problems, However I did hate how Sonic was able to get hurt in his speed mode, But it was interesting using the speed and slow mechanics at the right time, I had a blast with secret rings. And love the end battle or secret battle with 7 ring erazor jinn. It was lit, Anyway liked your video. Keep up the good work. MASK OUT!

I watched the whole video and you said you were reading and maybe responding to some comments so I hope you see this. And if you do, have a nice day/night!

      I believe he's started intentionally cutting out final story bits cause "spoiler."
      (correct me if I'm wrong)
      Like people would really care to be spoiled for a sonic game, but whatever it's his choice.

      I'm pretty sure that getting 110 Golds requires you to beat the final boss. But for whatever reason, Jirard didn't feel like talking about it.
