I don't care about Sonic's characters or story, but the game itself has me excited. DS needs more quality, original RPGs.

Firestorm said:I do hear people say "Rush is like classic Sonic" which is just plain wrong. I dunno, I didn't hate Rush, but I didn't think it was as great as some people on GAF think it is.
MiamiWesker said:I think people say that cause its 2D side scrolling Sonic and its just the easy lazy way to describe it. Rush does play different, its almost like a racing game where you beat the track, its not really about platforming. I dont know its hard to describe. I love it though.
sevenchaos said:The true Sonic canon IMO. Sega fucking fails for not accepting this western interpretation.
TreIII said:Honestly, I couldn't stand that cartoon. Eggman (or Robotnik, for those of you who REALLY care about that sort of thing) has taken over the world. World is in great peril. Sonic, Tails and some random characters all must band together to try and restore "Mobius" to its proper state.
It's as far and away from the original vision of the series (as Naoto Oshima made it) as could be. The "Adventures" cartoon did a far better job, in that light, what with the overly trippy world designs, and a much more lighter context of Sonic's heroics vs. Robotnik's machinations of evil.
But in any case, I'm liking BioWare's rendition of the world. The promo designs have that "crazy world concept that still oddly makes sense, for what it is", which I loved about Sonic 1 and Sonic CD. Keep it up, and this will definitely win me over...
Seriously, that one battle shot is atrocious, even for DS. It reminds me of Dragon Quest Monsters Joker, except a lot worse.Amir0x said:The 3D stuff looks like someone punched the Elephant Man in the stomach one too many times, and he vomited onto the DS screen
Zoramon089 said:It most definitely IS about platforming, especially the later levels...I don't know how people could have played Rush and said it's a linear "race to the finish" type of game. Maybe the early levels started out that way to ease you into the game's speed but later levels required you to slow down and time your jumps and air dashes

Scribble said:Our UK Sonic comic (Fleetway) was the best Sonic continuity.

Enk said:I liked the darker Sonic cartoon. It felt more inline with the games as opposed to the ADD insanity the other show was. Still I think the best version is the Sega CD's opening catroon. That feels like Sonic to me more than anything else.
Oh here's another clip from the dark Sonic cartoon.

It was pretty bad but the animation was pretty awesome.

*large images*
"NO, ROBOTNIK. YOU ARE THE DEMONS."
AND THEN ROBOTNIK WAS AN EGGMAN.
Crushed said:...and the shitpile it eventually turned into over the years:
But at least it's not stupid cheapo Fleetyway (sorry Brits):

Xavien said:Titan Tails? Please. If that's representative of the Comic, then it sucks. That story looks like it was ripped straight out of a DBZ episode.

acevans2 said:This game is automatically a joke if it's going to take itself seriously. "The Dark Brotherhood"? Yeesh. I love Super Mario RPG because it is just lighthearted and goofy and knows Mario isn't meant to have serious story.
CowboyAstronaut said:Okay? So you're trying to say Sonic can't take itself seriously?
Just because it says Dark Brotherhood doesn't mean it's going to be taking itself too serious. It can simply just be a name for a new group of enemies that want to takeover the world and since it's Bioware I'm looking forward to a nicely told story at the very least.
I mean why waste the potential?
You know what interest reminds me of?Amir0x said:Well if he isn't saying it, I am. Sonic can't take itself seriously. That ain't wasting potential, that's avoiding a future filled with geeks legitimately concerned about Sonic and his furry friends continuity.
I think it's safe to say I have the best interest of everyone in mind here.
Amir0x said:I see now, the future is now.

I love Paper Mario and I liked the Sonic comics.Amir0x said:i think "good" here is a modified standard based on how videogame comics are so bad, they often create a blackhole in time and space. So one that doesn't do that may be confused for quality, but, if you actually read genuinely good comics you would laugh yourself to death.
Of course, you hate Paper Mario so I suppose Sonic comics might be the inker equivalent of Perdido Street Station.
