Played on sonic gems collection. what the hell even is this

Mesma opinião do Sonic R. Ideia legal, trilha sonora até que boa, visual/gráficos legais pra época e bem estilosos. No entanto curto de mais, apesar dos personagens terem uma gameplay bem única uns dos outros (com ressalva em alguns golpes que os personagens tem de maneira igual).

Outro que joguei na infância, uma coleção de Sonic que tinha no PS2. Bons tempos.
Atualmente o tema do meu 3DS é desse jogo.

Those fighting viper dev’s sure know what’s up

REVENGE OF DR. ROBOTONIC

The ACTUAL best 3D Sonic game in terms of visuals, I'm not even kidding around here. All would be right with the world and SEGA would be ruling supreme over all game companies if we got an action-adventure Sonic game with these graphics. Nintendo would have fallen, Sony would have begged to join SEGA in its quest for world domination, Microsoft would've stayed far away from the console business, trembling in fear and shame when stepping under the shadow of Sonic's gargantuan hold over the gaming industry.

... Okay, hyperbole aside, I just love the way this game looks. The 3D models, the super stretchy animations, the designs for characters like Bark, Bean and Honey; it's timeless in its charm and appeal.

Of course it's not a very polished fighting game, but it's a decent enough slapfest. I even tried to apply some of my Tekken knowledge for some mixed results.
Sounds great too, both in terms of music and sound effects. I could FEEL the pain behind some of these punches and stomps.

Thank you RGG for putting this stylishly appealing squash-and-stretch oddity in Like A Dragon Gaiden so now I can confirm that this was indeed imperfectly fun for what it is (will never revisit!) and that Kiryu canonically played Sonic The Fighters. Seriously tho, I actually wished this was the presentation the franchise stuck with or took inspiration from nowadays, besides a reference in the IDW comics.
