We're taking a bit of a different route today. Let's talk about Sonic the hedgehog. I got the new game, and was kinda sceptical about it. There's supposed to be an emphasis on speed and control, more so than the sonic adventure games (which were so much fun, my faith in sega was restored)

I've sunk about an hour into this game so far, and let me just get this out of the way first, the learning curve on this game sucks big time. I was ok with the comic book looking cutscenes, and the voice acting isn't too bad either (The guy who does sonic also does Usopp on One Piece [I was quite suprised and excited]). Then it went downhill. The controls are horrible. Screw getting use to them. Do you remember people ever jerking the controller when they did moves on old games? Yeah, this one's for them, you twist, thrust, wobble, jerk, etc. the wiimote to get sonic to do even simple things. Want sonic to run forward, NO PROBLEM, that's automatic and almost completely out of your control. Want him to WALK backwards? There's the problem, you're supposed to "tilt" the wiimote backwards and he'll start backtracking. I had the thing almost upside down and all he did was stand there looking like an epileptic kid watching anime O.o And, when did sonic ever have to charge up to jump? I know jumping is mario's department, but Sonic's never had a problem going airborn. You can't attack things unless you're higher then they are, and you can't really stop to jump, so you have to know where enemies are going to be in order to have a chance for the "homing attack" to lock on. I'm at the first boss, and if he isn't running just as fast as I am, then he's at an almost standstill and I run smack into him, losing everyone of my hard earned rings.

Maybe I'm not the gamer I once was, maybe these controls are just too simple for me to grasp. I don't know, but I'll leave more ranting for my next post. Which very well may be about Spider-man 3, the game, not the movie this time.

Oh, some good news though, when I picked up these new games, I also grabbed a new memory card, so I can get back to work with super smash bros. ^^ YAY!!!! I have rivals that I can't let out of my reach skillwise.

*EDIT*

Almost forgot, Koneako put this up yesterday, and I said I'd do it to. Don't read too much into it, I'm not suicidal as some of the questions may ask.
