‣ While we're back at taking features only from the best and brightest ideas we had, let's put a combat system back in, just to remind people how nice it was to have the free time to deal with tedious games like Sonic Heroes.Īlso, I want to know what drugs they're paying the marketing team to write what they did with a straight face.With the recent rise of open-world gaming and Sonic the Hedgehog’s recent surge of popularity due to his movie franchise, it seemed only a matter of time before the beloved blue hedgehog made his own leap into the open-world genre. That sure worked in Marble Zone, the roadblock that stops most people from seeing the rest of Sonic 1. Let's take the character who is entirely about speed, and make him slow down and puzzle things out. ‣ Sonic's - way-past-cool- attitude is being juxtaposed once again with a story that is trying to give theatrical weight to a living cartoon hedgehog. Why did Gaia decide to put floating rails in the air? Such are the whims. ‣ Once again, we're asked to take the hooptyfroo world at face value in spite of it supposedly being free of Eggman's influence and more grounded in look than ever before.

‣ There's a massive overworld to traverse once again, even though most of it is filler. ‣ Once again, the hog finds himself in a strange world instead of the already established strange world.

‣ Sonic once again is getting saddled with an unwarrented progression system. And floating disjointed platforms in what looks like a test level was an awful first impression. They seem to be making a lot of the same mistakes that they did all that time ago, except this time, it isn't on their side, because the damned project has been spinning wheels for over 5 years. I call him Muffles because they forgot to give him a mouth.Īnd really, that's the crux. Speaking of, boy what a dissapointment Infinite was, huh? I guess they didn't learn from Muffles the Dark, either. Ian Flynn could be the best writer since Issac Asimov, but will he escape from the clutches of Sega's infamous mismanagement? I'm kind of doubtful.Īnd after the snog the hog incident, I'm surprised a moratorium wasn't put on princesses in infinite perpetuity.
