Wow what the fuck why was this so hard? Sonic is a baby game for kids and I had to spend like 3 hours on that boss rush trial - on EASY difficulty. When I got to the first tower I was like okay yeah I'm not doing this Getting Over It ass climb 4 times. So I put it on easy then and it made the climb a lot nicer. There's no shame in playing this expansion on Easy.

I loved Sonic Frontiers but this final update has left a sour taste of the game in my mouth which is sad. It made me think, "Was the main game really this bad?" Which I don't think it was. I think that the new content is just kind of bad.

I had quite a bit of fun during the sonic sections. Playing as the other characters was cool too, but their sections were clearly not as well put together. Pretty funny how with all 3 of the characters you can basically just fly/glide past all of the platforming sections. The main game had a lot of flying rails and stuff, people ragged on it but I thought it was fine. However, this bonus story had some ugly ass flying blocks. Seeing these massive towers pop up and load right in front of my face with their square tile-ish blocks was funny. The design of these sections was just not super good either. I always had no clue where I was actually going, the waypoint would be 900 metres in the air and the blocks I needed to jump on hadn't loaded in so I couldn't figure out where to start platforming. There were parts that were just really poorly designed I did not know where to go, I would think of a way that felt like cheese which turned out to be the real way to progress. And when you start playing as the other characters, they don't even have the most basic abilities like "Attack" or "Cyloop", which you need to progress and I'm left wondering why tf did they not just give you that by default.

Yeah, this content was just way too hard for what it is. Especially the Master Koco Trial. You have to fight 3 bosses in a row as Super Sonic who has been reverted back to level 1 so he does incredibly little damage. Your parry has been removed so you have to time it instead of just holding parry. And you have to beat all 3 bosses on the same ring timer. The boss rush in its entirety is like a 15 minute ordeal which you have to repeat many times and all the cutscenes during the fight are unskippable. It's actually stupid that the developers put you into the fight with these bosses that they designed, but then only give you one realistic way of defeating them. You have to just spam Stomp on them until they die and then perfect parry everything.

Lowered my rating just for that part. Honestly, my rating should be lower than 3 stars because this added content is overall bad. (edit: I changed it from 3 to 2.5) But I still had fun with it until the Master Koco Trial and the final boss which I also thought was stupid. All the stuff before that was bad in a sonic way. After that, it was incredibly frustrating. I'm a sonic fan and you just can't hate on this lovable blue blur :)

One day, a younger me went to Argos with his mum, to get Mario Kart DS. Possibly because he had done well at school.

He left, however, with a copy of Cars Maternational, as said mum had balked at the price of Mario Kart DS, and had gotten this as a cheaper alternative.

Honestly? Bitterness aside, it's actually a perfectly decent game. It has a lot of variety for visuals - a level in a cave with night vision, a mountain, a cornfield, a stadium, etc. - and there's secret shortcuts you can find which reward you with unlockables, such as new characters and alternate paintjobs for your cars.

There was also different types of race, such as elimination rounds, races against rival characters, alongside your typical grand prixs - so don't let the fact it's a Mario Kart 'clone' fool you, as it actually does quite a bit different.

Every single time a christian rock song started playing during the minigames my christian friend would just start obnoxiously singing along with them because he knew how much I hate christian rock. Plus he didn’t even help me with the testament trivia so not only is he a bad christian but he’s also a shitty friend as well. >:(((((. (Josh if you're reading this I’m not serious, but seriously if you start singing a Newsboy or TobyMac song to me when I come visit you I’m gonna smack the shit out of you)
