![]() ![]() The level designs are also very, not good. ![]() There’s no point in any Classic Sonic level where you feel like you built up any speed and momentum, making the platforming and speeding through levels feel much less rewarding and more off a sludge fest in pacing. Momentum and physics just feel way too off compared to Mania and Generations. While the concept worked in Generations, with Mania being released just 2 months prior, the flaws of the Classic Sonic stages are very apparent. Perspective switches from the autopilot 3D levels, to more precise 2D platforming sections which control nowhere near as well.Ĭlassic Sonic, on the other hand, is a mess. If you have played games such as Colors or Generations, you know what to expect. He can zip zoom all over the place as usual using his boost to fling himself uncontrollable at mach speeds into the nearest wall. Gameplay consists of four different styles. If you were a fan of the Archie comics, and don’t mind not having the creepy relationship stuff tossed out the window, this story will probably be up your alley. Only true masters of their craft can condense such a deep and powerful plot into this time frame, but Sonic Team is no joke. Also, much like other storytelling masterpieces, like the Godfather, the writers over at Sonic Team knew they could create an epic in a short period of time, so the story is over in like 3 hours. However, once we see Sonic or Tails, or other characters who are said to be in extreme circumstances, they appear perfectly fine and throw out their usual WACKY one-liners. The game throws around words like “killed”, “tortured”, Tails completely “losing it”, along with implying various war atrocities happening in this world. So, that sounds like a cluster of bad ideas and rather dark, but, this being a children’s game, it really isn’t. Also the classic potbellied Sonic appears out of a wormhole unexplained to help out. Oh yeah, and Sonic only stays dead for like 2 minutes, and he’s actually just a prisoner. Due to Sonic being 6 feet under, Eggman is able to take over the entire planet, performing an implied animal genocide, leaving an underground rebellion composed of an all-star cast of Sonic’s friends and YOU, your own original character, to try and rise up against the Eggman Empire. Murdered by the new villain of the game, Infinite, who looks like a fuzzy Naruto reject, right in front of Tails’ eyes. ![]() How? Well, Sonic gets straight up killed 5 minutes into the game. Forces takes another stab at bringing a darker world to the Sonic universe and doesn’t hold back in displaying such right at the shotgun. ![]() Let’s dive into the story of the game, which true Sonic fans like myself know is the main attraction. Being the degenerate that I am, I always enjoyed the 3D Sonic titles more than the 2D ones (crucify me) so needless to say, I have been following the development of this game since its announcement. Sonic Forces is here, brought into existence, and there’s no putting this Genie back in the lamp. No, not the classic throwback, Mania, everyone has been talking about, I’m talking about the REAL DEAL. But what’s in the past is in the past, and there’s no changing the now.Īnyway, there’s a new Sonic game floating about this holiday. Am I ashamed of this life choice? Possibly. I have played nearly all Sonic titles to completion, sans a few Game Gear titles and my knowledge of the character and his universe is large enough my Gamertag could be “xXSuperSonicMaster456Xx” and I would be able to defend my claim. Unfortunately, I’m what you may call a “Sonic Fan”. ![]()
