Way too short. Having only 5 tracks is unacceptable, even for the time period.
Very unbalanced characters. Good luck winning any race with an unlockable character that isn't Super Sonic after you've unlocked Super Sonic!
Iffy controls. Turning at low speeds is especially shit.

Fix those issues and you'd have a fantastic racing game.

Sonic Colors is like 95% 2D, and what little 3D there is is usually just running a straight line down a narrow corridor, or scripted drift sequences.
Colors is incredibly weak as a 3D platformer.

My understand is that after you've unlocked everyone, if you pick a default character, you will only race other default characters, and if you pick an unlockable character, you will only race other unlockable characters.
Only characters like Eggrobo and Tails Doll have to deal with Super Sonic.

What's funny? Most levels are like the image I posted, and have only 1 or 2 pits in them at most, and you'll usually only have to deal with them if you play poorly and end up on the lower path.
Generations has about as many bottomless pits. Maybe even a little more.

Boring, badly designed levels, unbalanced characters, extremely short, little replay value, godawful music (As reminiscent as it is, it just makes my ears bleed and isn't at all appropriate for a racing game), trying to compete with Mario Kart 64, one of two Sonic titles on the Saturn.

tl;dr, it's only decent and will hardly last you for a few hours.

The music was good, it just didn't fit the game. The lyrics were pretty stupid, but Super Sonic Racing worked pretty well for a race.

I'm not going to dispute this, but I will say that Sonic Rush had more boost pads, and the ability to boost, yet is more highly regarded.
And no one seems to complain about the boost pads in Chemical Plant. In fact, Chemical Plant is probably the most popular Sonic level.
It all seems a bit silly to me.

It's really more like a shitty meme without anything to back it up.

>Look at the size of the pits!
None of those pits are a threat on anything but the absolute lowest path, and most of them you'd actually have to make an effort to fuck up and fall into, and this is the second to last Zone in the game.

>missing your footing after a stupid boost pad has shot you into the void is common
If you actually looked, you'd see there isn't any point in the level where anything like that happens. Crossing the pits without dying is more or less automatic.

>It was poor level design since the controls weren't snappy enough to accommodate
What are you even trying to say?
The controls are perfectly responsive.

You can dislike the fact that there's bottomless pits AT ALL. I certainly do. But please stop with these lies.

I don't understand why so much hate about Sonic R. OK, it's not a perfect game and have some camera/level desing issues but at least it's quite entertaining and not an abomination like Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedhehog 2006 that only autistic kids like. And I'd prefer a new Sonic R over a Sonic airboard/cart game, it's more original and fits perfect to the Sonic's style.

Sonic r was part of a project to relaunch sanic as sega mascot, being precisely step 2.
Step 1 was sonic jam, that showed off sanic in a 3d green hill. Step 3 was indeed adventure 1, but the saturn failure was a good reason to move the project on a new, more capable hardware. I don't know if they were shitting themselves, but before adventure launch they did some travelling around the world.
There are some photos of them going to a location they used after for the jungle and pyramid areas.

Planet Wisp is only long if you keep brainless try to go stupidly fast, in which case the level fucks you over. If you take your time and use your brain for once, you will get through quickly. Yeah it took me 9 minutes my first try too, but I can't see how anyone with a functioning brain can't get either act in under 6 minutes. If you think that's long then fuck off, because you're probably the kind of idiot who times over on Sandopolis Act 2.

Yes, Yuji Naka and his guys travels and took location photos but that had nothing to do with making Sonic a mascot. He already was. By the time Sonic 3 rolled around he was already more popular than Mickey Mouse.
Sonic Team was split up and the Sega Technical Institute was responsible for most of Sonic2 and for S3&K in the US.
Sega of America had all kinds of fallouts with the Jap divisions, especially after the Sonic X-Treme bullshit which led to the split of STI for good.

I can't agree with this at all. Shadow the Hedgehog was a mess.
The good and evil objectives for levels where you had to kill/find all 30 [things] in a level sucked.
The indoor maze-like levels with horrible camera issues sucked.
The gunplay was shit because guns are only fun if you actually get to aim and shoot them. Mashing a button to have Shadow use his auto-aim to shoot anything in a massive cone in front of him sucked.
The controls were kind of slippery, and so, sucked.
Having to play the game at least 10 times through to beat it sucked.
The vehicle sections sucked.
And so on.

>>470521
The problem with both versions of Planet Wisp is that neither is fun in the slightest.
If the level was 6 minutes of inspired and enjoyable platforming there wouldn't be an issue, but it's 6 minutes of forced and poorly implemented Wisp gimmicks and slow, sub-standard platforming.

Sonic R sucked dick for two reasons: one, most of the characters were completely pointless, since everyone since Sonic/Super Sonic was slow as shit; two, unlocking Super Sonic was a fucking bitch and a half, since you basically needed to have the entire fucking course memorized and then flawlessly execute a run through it in order to get the emerald and finish in first. It was a nightmare, and your reward was a character that simply could not lose any race, even if you tried.

His characterization has gotten a lot better ever since after his game. He really isn't brooding or emo anymore, he's just a serious secret agent, or as serious as an artificially created sentient cartoon hedgehog can be.

Of course, the only main series games he's appeared in since Shadow were 06 and Generations so it's not like he's had bunch of a spotlight.

3D Sonic had so much squandered potential. Adventure 1+2 levels actually did have quite a few branching pathways (Final Rush in A2 would be the best example). All they needed to do was tighten up the controls.

A level made almost entirely of rails is only a bad idea now that grinding has been ridiculously over-simplified.

Back then you had to balance and shit, and you could go faster but risked slowing down dramatically if you fucked up balancing, and getting onto a rail was entirely manual, and you could jump at the end of a rail to do a trick to get points (which was important in SA2) and jump further than normal, and there was actual physics and shit.

Now, you just press A while in the air to get on a rail, and move the control stick left or right to switch rails, and... well, that's it.
The only thing Sonic Team can think to do with rails anymore is "OH NO, THE RAIL YOU ARE ON HAS AN OBSTACLE!! QUICK!!! SWITCH RAILS!!!"
It's kind of sad.

Considering the usual look of Sonic before 1994, it fits very well. It used sampling and had a variety of instruments. The US version was just there to fill space.

I had a lot more fun than I probably should have had with this game. I used to play it all the time with my brother. Super Sonic was OP as shit though. No one could rival him except maybe Metal Knuckles on a good day. And then no other character came close to them.

You keep saying biased. OF COURSE I am. That's why I pick one over the other. Why even point out such an obvious fact?
The Engrish isn't cute or endearing. Why else would anyone think otherwise unless because "OoH it's Japanese and therefore neat"?
The US so better crafted in every way. Sonic games were about exploration over speed ESPECIALLY SonicCD and the Us music matched that vibe far better than generic dance music ever could.

I can't argue with Jungle Joyride Night. I'm usually the guy posting that song, actually.

Every piece of music in Sonic Colors is amazing. It's definitely one of the best Sonic soundtracks there have ever been.
Hopefully the next game sounds at least that good.

is there any need to? they already reduced the main cast back to sonic, tails and robotnik 'just like everyone wanted' it'd accomplish about as much as rebooting mario.

I don't think there's anybody who wouldn't like to play as Tails or Knuckles as well. I'm not asking for a full cast including Marine the Furry or whatever the fuck, but at least bring it back to a manageable three characters. Maybe they could each have slightly different control styles, different available paths, unique bosses. Shit would be cool.

Much like how all Nintendo has to do is refine Starfox 64 and then BAM amazing new star fox game, all sega has to do is keep tweaking the generations/colors formula and then start adding the new characters back into the mix. anybody who adds enough variety is welcome. i'd even accept shadow if they could do something interesting with him.

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 17 02:15:00 2013 No.472921 >>472704 I played all the others and still enjoyed this game. Sure it wasn't as good but it still wasn't all that bad

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 17 03:01:00 2013 No.473227 >>473162 but what about AM3?? They made that gorgeous Sonic game for arcades. It's like everything you could want out of Sonic cosmetically but with really shallow gameplay.

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 17 06:59:32 2013 No.474297 >>473001 Knuckles wasn't "fight", he was "dude who could wall-crawl and glide". Tails already flew, Knuckles didn't really add much besides wall-crawling and wouldn't have been worth an extra playthrough if they didn't make areas exclusively for him.
