/vr/ - Retro Games

Techdemo level game.

But I love it to bits. It is kinda shit though.

I thought it was okay. Its not bad, but most of the cast is pretty well forgotten you end up just playing as one or two.

I don't think I ever beat it, while in compare I beat Sonic 2 and 3 with every gem collected.

I owned the cart when I had a 32x, I liked it. Great music and stages, I think the game as a whole lacked heart though. We never really find out about the characters and the game just kind of ends. It has a fair share of platforming and speed sections though, worth a playthrough.

If you're willing to brave the horrible gameplay, these characters get some development in Sonic Heroes.

It can be difficult to manuever the levels unless you really know how to control both characters, each level changes depending on the time of day but those changes are not enough to really make the levels seem different.

But the music is pretty damn sweet.

The game is fun, though the play control is a bit iffy. The music is phenomenal (I would recommend it solely on that if it wasn't fun).

Though Heroes is their canonical introduction, and Mighty isn't with them

The wonky controls one can get used to, but the empty as shit levels are inexcusable.

I notice it has a 2-player mode, I wonder what that's like.

i found it to be rather weak, though it did have a very calming atmosphere. the level design was far too linear and it just wasn't challenging enough. if i remember correctly, i beat the final boss without even trying on the first go.

Surprisingly fun once you get used to the ring band gimmick.

This. Terrible levels.

I think it's a love or hate kind of thing, sort of like Sonic CD

I definitely prefer it over Sonic CD, though. CD focuses more on puzzles and exploration, Chaotix focuses more on speed.

Great looking game that's ruined by an awful gimmick with even worse controls

knuckles chaotix probably isn't for everybody. I enjoy it though, better then a lot of other sonic games old or new. it does have its share of problems but, nothing to bad that you don't want to play it.

Nothing bad. I played this with a friend. It could be much better if it weren't for the pretty bad physics and soapy controls.

Solo, 6/10.
Bro-op, 9/10.

I grew up with Sonic games on the MD, but never had a 32X. I tried playing this a couple of years ago and found the controls infuriating, and ragequit on the tutorial.

I did enjoy it somewhat. Not the best Sonic game but also not the worst either.
