I'm such a huge sonic fan that i doubt my opinion matters, but, Sonic is making a comeback!! Finally he can be next to mario as a symbol of pop culture, again and awesome games.

Jerkapotamus5729d ago

The PS3 and 360 versions apparently have a bad framerate. No one knows about the Wii version, since it hasn't been seen in motion.

nieto5729d ago

Sonic doesn't even has a shadow, that shows how much effort they are putting on the game... even games on the ps2 like GoW that are running in a less capable console have better graphics that most games on the Wii.

AWBrawler5729d ago

PS2 could easily pull off conduit, Fatal Frame 4, Cursed Mountain, Galaxy, and Metriod Prime Corruption.

end sarcasm.

Graphics, graphics, graphics, is that all you guys care about these days. I miss the SNES vs Genesis days sometimes, because atleast then games where judged by what they where, not how they looked.

jeffaustin905729d ago

I agree, AWBrawler. Graphics can only get SO good before they reach a plateau, and that time is very near, at least with the 360 and PS3. Where will they have to go after they reach their ultra realistic graphics? They won't be able to play the Graphics Card, so to speak.

ChickeyCantor5729d ago (Edited 5729d ago )

In all fairness, nieto is b/tchy about the Wii.
However i see that he is bashing the developers and not really the Wii.

I agree with him i see little effort in this game.
It looks decent but they could have done much better.

Sonic in brawl looks better >_>.

So AWBrawler, that was a bit uncalled for.
"that shows how much effort they are putting on the game"
He didnt say Wii can't do better than this.

kesvalk5729d ago

c'mon! if they worsen the graphics a little more this game will run on the PS1! and i am not kidding, look at this textures! it's awful.

heck, sonic and the secret rings have a better graphic that this "thing" add werehog and you can see where this mess will get sonic to...

although, as a sonic fan, i will probably will buy this one too, as i did with every game of it (except the one in the PS3/360) T_T sad times...

Snipes205729d ago

this is one of those games where the dev assumes you won't be looking at the same texture for more than half a second...

ChickeyCantor5729d ago

Well maybe in motion it will look better since this game is all about speed.

AWBrawler5729d ago (Edited 5729d ago )

I was commenting more on his saying most PS2 games have better graphics than wii games. Granted they could have down more graphically. I can see effect that aren't possible on PS2 in those pics, (or Xbox for that matter) so i was right to respond to his uncalled for wii hatred. When I had a cube last gen I didn't toss the graphics cards at PS2 owners, cause i didn't know until the end of the run (RE4) or care.

ChickeyCantor5728d ago (Edited 5728d ago )

Actually he only said that GoW looked better on a system that has less power. He was talking about Sonic and not that Wii-games can't do better than Ps2 games.
It was more of a compliment if he says that something looked better on a lower spec system, meaning Wii can do much more.

I know nietos comments but i really don't see the hate towards Nintendo and the Console in that comment of his, rather to Sega and the little effort that has been put into this game.

N4g_null5729d ago

I can't wait to actually play this game. I'll judge the graphics later. I guess I'll get this and that hover board game to try out sega's next wave of sonic.

specialsauce915728d ago

dont get the hoverboard game its horrible.

N4g_null5728d ago (Edited 5728d ago )

LOL what is wrong with it? Sega made F-zero GX? Got any game play videos I should see. I always try and rent a game before buying it? But if you have vids then show me.

WOW you got me looking and it seems the controls where over complicated? That's not a problem for me most of the time. Graphics seem ok speed looks good and what is funny it seems to play like the unleashed game with out the hover board part or riders with out the adv levels. I don't know it just $19 that money I would have blown on some thing for no reason.

Just wondering have you play the game or are you going on media crit?

If I have to read another one of these lists that contains the sentence "The game that started it all" I'm gonna go nuts.

And when it comes to fan favourite zones in Sonic 3 (he mentioned Hydro City, Marble Garden and Launch Base), I'd replace Launch base and Marble Garden with Ice Cap zone. Never heard anyone refer to the others as favourites.

NJShadow679d ago (Edited 679d ago )

I sorta' stopped caring about this list when I saw Sonic Spinball (a genuinely great game) ranked lower than some of the noted atrocities.

Pyrofire95678d ago

Sonic and All Stars Racing Transformed is still my favorite kart racer.
I've never really been able to play online tho. D:
Can't even play Team Sonic Racing online cause the servers are broken and don't queue people together.
P.S. This is such a random list. I really don't agree with it. Maybe this really is how they rank it but them just seems odd personally.

Phil writes, "Today, June 23rd, 2021, is Sonic the Hedgehog's 30th anniversary. 30 years ago today in 1991 a blue hedgehog named Sonic took the gaming world by storm with a spin dash, a too-cool-for-school attitude, and a hankering for chili dogs. SPC celebrates the occasion with a special top ten list, presenting the site's picks for the very best of the Blue Blur's biggest and boldest titles. After you've checked out the picks here, which Sonic games would you select as your personal favorites?"

Jls11054d ago

wheres sonic 06 lol. I know im in the minority but if you can look past all the glitches I actually liked the game.

Chocoburger1053d ago

I have played the game more than I'm willing to admit. Even beat all the DLC as well, and nearly S ranked everything including the DLC.

The game had good graphics for the time, and a fantastic soundtrack. If only it had an extra year of development it could have been a decent game. People keep harping on the kiss at the end of the game as if its a big deal. It really isn't (people kiss their cats and dogs all the time, and no one freaks out about that).

They try extra hard to hate on the game, and while it does have a multitude of unacceptable flaws and had serious development issues (Yuji Naka quit SEGA early on during the project which definitely caused some internal struggles at Sonic Team), there are some positive aspects about the game that people don't give it credit for.

DarXyde1054d ago

Hmmm, this is kinda cheating, but I would rate Sonic 3 & Knuckles as #1, rather than having the two games separately occupy #2 and #3.

That was literally the only game I played for YEARS.

-Hermit-1054d ago

In any order

Sonic Adventure 1
Sonic Adventure 2
Sonic Heroes
Sonic Shuffle
Sonic Generations
Sonic Lost World
Sonic Unleashed
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Sonic CD
Sonic 3 & Knuckles
