Blues Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 After the dissapointment that was Sonic Genesis it's unfortunate that there isnt anything much better to say about Rivals. Our speculation has turned out true as Sonic Rivals really is nothing more than a buggy hold right and jump fest. Knuckles and Silver can both run as fast as Sonic for some reason. Silver is really cheap and abuses Psychic attacks that can seemingly hit you from almost anywhere in the level. Shadow's level has several annoying bottomless pits. Sonic has trouble accelerating without zippers, there is a strange bug that occurs too often that makes you float very slowly to the ground after getting hit. The boss stages are a little better, but you never really have to worry about dying since getting hit only takes ten rings away. The stage is always a circle around eggman who sticks his head in and you have to hit it before your rival does. anyway it sucks :< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheonix Gamma Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 Soooo....Sonic's 15th kinda sucked...huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorSatyr Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 Sonic's 15th REALLY sucked. Here's hoping his 20th is much better. That's when we can break out the booze! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 I have to agree, I looked forward to this game and was very disappointed, how the hell do they catch up to you like that? They gave the computer a break on this one, but in my opinion, the game is somewhat enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aki-at Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 I'm actually somewhat confused at how Sonic Stadium and Sonic Cult are somewhat finding this game...good? enjoyable? how is it possible? some even go to say the level designs are a mix of Sonic Adventure and Sonic 2? how? just how? And these were the same people who hated Sonic 06...I am in a state of shock and awe at the moment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 The carding system in my opinion sucks. Gamplay really sucks Level design is great, I like forest falls. The best thing about this game is really the costume customization. Also I finally got a chance to play as Silver, a disapointment but that's because he on this game.

Damizean Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Well, first I have to say I though this game was going to suck really bad. But after a brief play, it wasn't as bad as I though: If it wasn't because of the annoying Rival and the fact that you only need to press right to move to finish the level, it would be decent. Level design seems pretty cool, but it lacks of complexity (I mean complexity ala Sonic 2 or Sonic 3), levels are large and graphically enjoyable. It's a shame the whole rivalry crap sucks...

Blues Posted November 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 During the second race with metal there is a floating zip line grab at the end. It's not on a wire or anything. It just kind of floats you along to the floor... The super speed power also tends to cause annoying glitches on loops and jumps. This game is far too buggy Urghm, on ramps, loops, and other areas with vertical floor you can actually walk in place and even CROUCH even though you are standing on a frickin wall.

TRD Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 So, between this Sonic Rivals and Sonic R, both are foot-racing games, which one is better? My vote goes to Sonic R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blues Posted November 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 The only redeeming part of this game was the last zone where you dont have to deal with a rival and are actually allowed to do a little platforming. The final boss is so chaotic and easy though that all of the game's glitches become apparant then. This game isnt worth buying, or renting, or stealing.

Guest Shadix Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 and you are suprised by this how? We knew from the beginning this game was gonna suck. It was developed by some almost unknown 3rd party developer thats only other achievement included such "hits" as a Dora the Explorer game and that pile of crap game Death Jr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
