Please don't play this game on the Wii, please, i am begging, i will pay you, i will pay you not to play this on the wii wait come back please-
I don't get why people say this game is bad. (did they play the wii version? lol) Like- honestly- the werehog isn't that bad, guys, okay, come on, he's just a little tired, okay, he just needs a good night sleep, look at him, he's so tired he's been up all night--
Lets start with the flaws of the game. And it has to do with the werehog. Okay- not ALL of the werehog, like I said, I think he's good. But- it was something new and risky and not the tried and true format. Of course it's going to have some flaws.
The levels are too long. Sometimes agonizingly so. And there's too much combat. And- I mean- I like the combat? There's just not a lot of enemy variety. Also, goddamn, the music- please, for the love of god, someone turn it off or at least give some variety for that too, oh my god-
Also, I don't like the humans. I don't know- I've never liked humans in Sonic. Eggman is the only valid one. Everyone else can go home now, goodbye-
The pacing was strange too. And we'll get more into that with the story. Which is a pro of the game- even if it's not perfect. So lets move onto the good shit.
The day time stages are perfect. Chefs kiss. The best 3D has ever played. Bring it back, Sega. And lets also talk about the world design. Absolutely LOVE the world, especially the hub worlds. It's something that isn't present in the Wii version, and it definitely hurts the game for it. The hub worlds add a level of immersion that you need for this game. This is a game that glamorizes travel, after all! And FOOD. Love the food. And a certain someone comments on the food everytime he eats it.
Honestly, I thought I wasn't going to like Chip. I don't typically like sidekick-y characters like him. (I don't know- maybe it's just his English voice, it's just grating to the ears a little--) Anyway, Chip is great. He gets better, trust me. And I really miss him.
Sonic and Chip's friendship through the game are the highlight for me. This story feels so short- and I think that's the worst part of it. There's these little animated shorts that are extras you can find that aren't actual cutscenes in the game. Heck- they also made a whole Halloween inspired short with them too. And it adds a feeling of... longevity. It makes the journey feel longer than it actual was, in the game. In fact- I'm certain the writers intended to imply that Sonic and Chip traveled together for a lot longer than they actually did. The pacing of the game just would've been better if we actually got to see that. Those little moments. Just pad it on for a little bit more. It'll make it better, I promise.
In a way, I feel like the developers were trying to convey that with the werehog. Take in the sights. Take things slow. Have a nice time with it. If the werehog was removed from this game, it would lose something, I think. You need those slow times. It can't all just be go, go, go.
(...Just not that slow. Really, Sega, 30 minute levels? Calm down-)
Anyway, this is one of the better Sonic games. Definitely give it a try, you might be pleasantly surprised.
