Sonic Rush...Eh?

[Ethereal]

OK, so earlier tonight, I was at Wal-Mart, and felt like buying a game. I asked the guy for Sonic Rush. I read reviews, seen reviews, and thought it looked pretty cool. Then, I decided "meh", and just put it back right at the last second.

My questions: Have any of you guys played it? If so, what do you think of it? Should I get it? If I do get it, I'll either get it Friday, when I go out again, or next Monday, the day after Christmas, so I can see if I get extra money to buy it with. 8D8D8D

Only get it if you have played Sonic games in the past and liked the game you played. I heard it is definately one of the better handheld titles (better than the Advance games & Game Gear Games) and pretty damn awesome altogether.
But anyway - you might wanna look through this thread to see what people are saying about this game.

Doy. I've played just about every Sonic game in existance. I was just having second thoughts about the game. Thanks, though.

Bee Tee Double-Yoo, the thread you linked was this one. O_O;

 

[MidnightScott]

Well then you should definately consider getting it. The reviews everywhere are pretty good and since you've played every Sonic game just about - you should definately give it a try.

Damn FireFox (when I copy links - it always screws up >_>) http://www.serebiiforums.com/showthread.php?t=73978

It's the top game on my Christmas list, lol.

Am I the only one who thinks that Sonic Rush is garbage?

Well, my problem here is that Sonic Rush is fast... too fast.

Basically, since Sonic Advance 2, it seems Sonic Team forgot that what made the Genesis Sonic games so great was NOT the speed but the level design.

I would make a long review on how Sonic Rush is bad... but well, since I don't feel like it and since anyway, tons of people will soon flood this thread stating how Sonic Rush is the next Sonic 3 & Knuckles, I don't see why I should bother.

Well, thank you for your time and Sonic Rush fans... do not be offended, please.

Sonic games were meant to be fast - thats why they are liked; the level design is only a part of the game. I swear - too many people miss the ideas. Only true Sonic fans wouldn't be complaining about it being too fast. In most of the Sonic games I always had Sonic off of the screen...the point is to run >_>;

Sonic Rush I hear is really really liked. I mean it has a soundtrack that is like Sonic CD except Jet Grind Radio style. Plus the music is abosolutely hillarious once I heard it (I haven't played it but heard all the music). The boss track Bomber Barbara was just absolutely hillarious as final boss music and well if you care about music then try this game out. Plus all the bosses are more hard and unqiue then previous games. True it's fast...but it fixes Sonic Advance 2's problems so much that it is very good. Plus Blaze is one of the better new chracters. I don't know how you would like it untill you try out but just suggesting.

Best Sonic game since Sonic & Knuckles

Gee, who would've thunk it?! Sonic Rush being..too fast?! That's blasphemy right there!

>_> Seriously, obviously the game's meant to be fast. Sonic Team's killed Sonic's speed in 2D for quite a while and since the game involves just Sonic and Blaze and the title involves incredible speed, of course it's going to be really fast.

I haven't picked up my copy yet, but from what I've seen and heard, it's definately worth picking up. Moreso than the garbage Sonic games that've been coming out recently. Back to roots 2D Sonic + Jet Set Radio music creator's music + insane level designs + lotsa speed = Hella fun.

Like everyone else said the reason sonic games are liked is because of it's speed. Seriously why would want it to slow down? To see the sceanery? Besides the levels on sonic advanced 2 were only so so. It was too easy to beat as well. >.> From what I've seen the level design is good and the bosses are better then anything from the advance series.

Level design? What in the world makes you think that level design made the game so popular? It's speed that makes this game so great, and a lot of people agree with me. Also what makes you think that people will say this is the next Sonic 3 & Knuckles? Many bad things I hear against Rush are when people compare it to S3+K, and trust me, this is no S3+K. But then again Rush is only a single game, while S3+K is technically two.

With that said I think that you should get this game, it really is a good Sonic game. Sonic is starting to get back to what made him popular, the music is pretty good, and the levels and bosses are great. The main thing they could've improved on is making it so you can turn into Super Sonic during the regular levels, but I'm not going to hate a game over something like that.

You know, I haven't picked up Sonic Rush yet, but that's the most ringing endorsement I've heard for it yet. Now I'm picking it up for sure. Sonic+High Speed=Joy

Tell that to the people who loved the first Sonic game and Sonic CD for their incredibly well thought out level designs. A lot of the current Sonic games seem to lack any kind of level design. The Advance games had TOO MANY BOTTOMLESS PITS. >_o

... ok, I misworded it. Level design in an important part yes, but the speed factor is what the games are best liked for.

Thunk isn't a word. Thaught is. Thunk isn't.

On topic:

Rush is the best Sonic game yet. Its loads of fun to play. Its challenging at some points. Not impossible just challenging. It has originality. Sonic lost this after SA2B. Now it got it back. Rush is the best thing to happen to Sonic.

Sonic is meant to be fast. Very Fast. As everyone has stated Sonic+ Intense Speed= Fun.

The Tension Guage/ Boost Bar is incredible. You build it up by doing stunts. You would think that the stunts slow down game play. It doesn't.

Let me tell you this: If you spend more than 2 seconds playing Rush going slowly, you aren't playing it right.

Rush is a must buy.

 

[Chris]

Thunk isn't a word. Thaught is. Thunk isn't.

Nah! Really? e_e Of course I knew that. Obviously someone's never heard of "whoda thunk it." You'd think people would figure out I have abit of a quirk in my speech where I don't exactly say some words properly unless I have to. Anyone who 'as spoken with me would know I ain't an idiot and know when to use proper English. ¬¬

Sonic lost this after SA2B. Now it got it back. Rush is the best thing to happen to Sonic.

Uh, no. Sonic lost all traces of originality startin' with Sonic Shuffle. Then came SA2 which was overly cliché in story. SA2B is the same damn game as SA2.

And I will say this. Sonic Rush may be fast, but 'least it's on a screen you can see the entire scenery on, let alone two screens. Unlike Sonic N, 'course.

Thaught? Thought isn't it? I've actually just playe the 2 player mode of Rush, quite good altough it's the weakest part of the game

 

[Chris]

The multiplayer aspects of Sonic games always tend to be the weaker, less involving parts of the games. o_o

 

[MidnightScott]

I can't wait to play this game on Christmas - I have always been a die-hard Sonic fan and can't wait to play the next one. Me and my brother have every Sonic game ever made for the Consoles and we have all 3 advance games.

Sonic is pretty much one of the best game series out there and was liked for the speed of the game...

BTW, Silver Fusion - just STFU with correcting people's spelling...

Mmm'kay. I s'pose I'll be getting this game, then. I just wanted a few opinions.

I heard the music when I saw the "X-Play" review of it. Since I lived Jet Grind Radio and Jet Set Radio Future, me gonna love the music in it (I have a thing for music. :/). 8)


"Thaught". Lol. I love it when people make fools out of themselves when trying to sound smart. XD
