Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric (Wii U) Review - Cubed3

Cubed3:
"The multimedia institution known as Sonic the Hedgehog has gone through various changes over the years, despite Sonic never really leaving the "in your face attitude" era of the 90s. Sonic has had varying success with comic books and even animated television series, whether it is the fan-favourite "Sat-AM" Sonic cartoon or the obnoxious antics of the "The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog," the permutations and variations of Sonic's formula continued in the likes of Sonic X and Sonic Underground. Kids just still can't get enough of the character, even today when SEGA has partnered with a French CG animation team to develop the fifth Sonic TV series. Sonic has been around TV so much, sometimes people may forget he had his beginnings on the Mega Drive/Genesis. The style of Sonic Boom is very different from what many fans of Sonic would be used to."

N64 had Superman 64
Wii U has Sonic Boom

PygmelionHunter3459d ago

They're not even close. Superman 64 is literally one of the worst games ever.

Sonic Boom, while really bad, at least tries.

randomass1713459d ago

It's hard to describe both. Sonic Boom is bad because it's really buggy and unfinished. Superman is just bland and poorly designed. They are both really bad for different reasons.

Sheed3459d ago

i believe this is the final game in Sega's 3 game deal with nintendo.
After this we should start seeing some real sonic games

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory3459d ago

not really PS and Xbox never got an amazing Sonic game. Generation was good but no where near Colors or Adventure 2 Battle.

DoggyBiscuit3459d ago

Justindark3459d ago

Top 10 Worst Sonic Games

Alex DS. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "I’m a huge fan of the series and love to talk about its best games… but its hard to argue that it’s all been great for the blue blur. From games that were loaded with glitches, slow-paced gameplay, and visuals that look more like a blue blur of… pixels and polygons. So, take this as a warning to avoid these 10 worst Sonic games of all time."

Never played any of these on this list, surprised Sonic R isn't there, but then i played that on my first PC and didn't think it was that bad, got some mild enjoyment out of it at least.

-Hermit-987d ago

Lost World, Black Knight, Forces and Chronicles should not be on that list, I can easily think of worse.

Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal, Sonic Drift, Sonic Drift 2, Sonic Labyrinth, Sonic Eraser, Sonic R, these are all way worse than the games on this list. Knuckles Chaotix was terrible as well, I hated the way you had to control the players, it was a pain in the ass. Even games like Sonic 3D Blast, Sonic Spinball and Rivals 1 and 2 which I thought were decent were worse than some of the games on this list.

To be brutally honest, most of the Game Gear and Master System Sonic games are pretty awful too. Sonic Chaos on the Game Gear for example, you can't even see what you are doing because the field of view is so bad.

I would rather play Sonic 06 than any of the games I listed above, and that game is classed as the worst Sonic game of the lot.

People have nostalgia glasses on when they think about old 2D Sonic games. Outside of the mainline games on the Mega Drive, most of them were worse than the modern day 3D games.

Rebel_Scum986d ago

Sonic 1 & 2 on the MS2 and GG were great games. Perfect blend of speed, secrets and challenge.

Sonic Chaos was shite. Too easy and gross looking sprites and backgrounds.

imo 1-10 for worst Sonic games would just be all the 3D one's and Sonic Fighters.

lellkay986d ago (Edited 986d ago )

There is definitely some worse games than Lost World,

The guy who wrote this definitely didn't dig enough into the franchise history haha

Pyrofire95986d ago

General question.
Is your favorite Sonic game the first one you played?
If not, is you favorite the same style as your first? (3D, 2D, some other distinction?)

lellkay986d ago

My favorite game is not the first one I played. (First one I played was Sonic The Hedgehog on Megadrive/Genesis)

My favorite one is probably 3&K or Mania, so yes it is in the same style as the first game I played.

-Hermit-986d ago

My favourite Sonic game is not the first one I played or same style.

The first Sonic game I played was Sonic 1 on the Mega Drive, my favourite is Sonic Adventure 2.

DFresh986d ago

I disagree with Sonic Forces on that list but the others are correct.
Sonic Forces is hella under rated.

Article says it's about third party Wii U games, yet Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival & Pokemon Rumble U are on this list.

lptmg2440d ago

maybe they were made by third parties? I dunno much about those games

PhoenixUp2440d ago

Doesn't matter who they were made by, they're still first party titles

lptmg2440d ago

one of the worst Wii U games I've ever played was Deus Ex. It's not by any means a terrible game, but the Wii U port was a massive disappointment with a weird control scheme and an abysmal framerate of like 20fps at best.

derkasan2440d ago

It's crazy how hard Devil's Third tanked. Don't think Itagaki's going to really recover from that one.
