ila Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 I had a long write up about the pros and cons about the Wii version, but it seems like a waste of time now. I enjoy the game, I don't expect everyone else to, but if you have the option you should buy it. It's fun. It gets a lot of stuff right. Yay. I'm actually looking forward to the next big Sonic game.

DimensionWarped Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 It is a good game. I've got to give it that. I also have to take about 10 points off immediately due to boss recycling what I'm guessing to be 3 bosses (I've only gone through the first five zones so far) when the game appears to only be 7 zones long. The difficulty jump on Asteroid Coaster is a bit ridiculous. Also, I had Sonic with MikeL's head ages ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ila Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 I don't see a problem with the repeating bosses. Each one is only reused once, and the battle is remixed enough to make it it's own battle anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Well, it's sort of a one-way problem. The revisions of the bosses make the originals trivial. True, it isn't as bad as Super Mario Galaxy's bowser rehashing, but it's still one of those things that feel cheap because there simply aren't enough bosses in the first place to be recycling them. EDIT: And finished. Wow, that last boss fight started off kinda cool but ended up being pretty underwhelming. And the little mini-act that came immediately after was just disappointing. Oh well, fun game all in all. I don't think I'll really think a whole lot about it down the road though mostly because it wasn't especially distinguished from Sonic Unleashed... just with more content and without the horrible horrible parts that I associate with that game. It did do the story-telling pretty much spot on, which is something I still found Sonic Unleashed to be a bit flaky on. The consistency made it a lot more enjoyable. But I have to really have to say they need to work on the bosses. They were rare, being only one per six acts. They were doubly rare, since you can basically omit the first three and just say they are more like warm up versions of the second three, and... well, I guess that's it really. With only four real bosses, it's something they need to put more thought into severely next go around. I'll comment on the level design after I have more time to digest it.

FanGameRevolver Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 got all the red rings in the DS version. The prize aside from all the art is Infinite boost. Which is pretty useless since if you're taking the best routes you'll get enough wisp power to boost as much as you want anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FanGameRevolver Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 you get a super sonic level for getting all the emeralds...however this boss pales in comparison to the eggman battle. and the 3D effects just make it look and play like a mess.

DimensionWarped Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 To commemorate the fact that I like this game, I've picked a new avatar that celebrates it. To keep myself recognizable, I picked the one whose color scheme most resembles Darkwing Duck. I am the terror that will chew your fucking face off.

Anyways, saw this about sonic colors ds on the stadium today. I had a good laugh, but my question is do you die after 9min 59sec like in the genesis games?

DimensionWarped Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 Captain Hindsight appears and says: "They shouldn't have let you grab another wisp box of the same type while using a power that you have no control over. Alternatively, they should have given you a way to manually force the power to stop. Captain Hindsight awaaaaay!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowgoten Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 Just got done with the aquatic world, holy crap best world yet. The whisp world unfortunately had a few bottemless pitfalls, but not enough to enrage me, which is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kessler12 Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 but my question is do you die after 9min 59sec like in the genesis games? Naw I have made it past 10mins looking for red rings and nothing happend. I finally beat it, I loved the way the level map looked along with the music. Now I must get the red rings. I have 84 so far.

ila Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Went on a red ring FRENZY tonight. Man, they really make you work your tail off for a lot of them. Also did all 21 Sonic Sim stages so I could play around with Super Sonic. Sadly, Super Sonic's gameplay isn't meant for S ranking, as his Super Sonic bonus causes him to just break even with the ring bonus, and he can't earn any points for Wisp powers. Still a fun time though, particularly in the game's longer stages. Only have 14/44 S ranks though. I have a feeling those will take a little more dedication. Overall though? Sonic Colors has been a fun experience. I plan on picking up the DS version of the game sometime as well. Just not sure when. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korkon Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Because Sonic Colors is out, I think it's about time I restart my fangame I quit months ago, and deleted. There is lots of more info now, and making my fangame now will be a lot easier. Sonic colorful is restarting! =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeL Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 I am actually going to try this since, for the first time in my life, the internet's opinion of a new Sonic game is positive. Apologies for the bump. Also, I had Sonic with MikeL's head ages ago. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DimensionWarped Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Actually, you know, I kinda thought Sonic being able to move more through the water better was a pretty neat way of making the water levels more enjoyable. It's really a fanboy thing to think about the history of the series and to use that to decide that Sonic being able to move through the water without turning into a crappy slow moving turd is a bad thing. *Keep on Trollin* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asuma Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 If anyone's interest. You can play Sonic Colors on Dolphin if have a good enough PC, you can play at 1080 DPI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candescence Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Okay, I got this game for my birthday, and my verdict so far? Okay, I really want to enjoy this game, the visuals and music are pure awesome, but... Argh. This game is only marginally better than Unleashed. What really lets this game down is the controls. In the 3D sections, Sonic controls like a really shitty car, and in 2D, the platforming controls are absolutely horrendous, too loose and floaty. And the kicker? Unleashed's fake difficulty is back with a vengence. Not as bad as the HD versions of Unleashed, mind you, but, Christ, it's still bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaDash Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Sonic controls like an assload of bricks in 3D, but the 2D controls really aren't that bad. If anything, it's only the jump and double-jump that needs tightening, and even that I can deal with. I still had loads more fun with this game than Unleashed, hands-down. There's more to do and less to be frustrated with, like mandatory medal collecting and overextended Werehog stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candescence Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 >Implying Sonic Unleashed was cheap Implying? Implying? Unleashed was RIFE with Trial And Error Gameplay, and some of the worst kind! Eggmanland was the worst of the lot! The later levels FORCE you to memorise them perfectly in order to even finish them. Colours, while it still retains some evil, evil design decisions, isn't nearly as bad, but it ends up swapping one form of fake difficulty for another - shitty controls. You know what? Perhaps Sonic Team should just discard the Unleashed formula, because, in my eyes, it isn't working. Period. Why they haven't made an open-world Sonic game yet (a game world the size of Just Cause 2's would be fine), is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serephim Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Because "Sonic the Hedgehog" and "Open World" just...dont sound right together? If by Open World you mean SM64, then maybe, if they slowed the game down a bit. Otherwise? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
