An example of futility

Ok, nothing new is coming for a bit now...

Sonic the Hedgehog arrived at my house yesterday! Game came in two days after it was released (talk about fast for regular shipping prices!).

So anyway, after having played it for a bit here's my current view point on the game:

1) Cinematics - Really cool, the major cinematics are really well done (high quality of course). Unfortunately the dialogue and voice leaves a lot to be desired and the game hasn't used very many of the super-quality cinematics yet.

2) Flashy - The game is very flashy, cool moves, cool effects, cool robots. Unfortunately this could be a very bad thing. See the control isn't as sharp as it is in earlier Sonic games. It'll take some getting used to but I think it should work out.

3) The #1 problem! - I don't care who you are... Sonic levels should be smooth flowing, going from one style of speed-induced euphoria (that sounded more drug related than I meant it to) to the next... There is no reason to have 2-4 loading screens in the middle of a level! I'm serious.. there's a loading screen to read the info for the mission, there's a loading screen for the mission, then there's a loading screen to come back. In a full action stage there is a loading screen for every change in game style... if you start out boarding you have to go to a loading screen to go back to running. Major bad move.

Overall, I like the game so far. The loading screens are annoying but the game is worth playing at least this far. (Btw, do not expect anything from Silver's voice actor... this is worse than Jet... he really should have just kept his mouth shut). Loading screens and voices are the most annoying thing in this game.

Edit: Based on the comment I'm gonna amend a previous statement... I'm talking about the new Sonic the Hedgehog game here... Shadow was discussed much earlier. The above review is about the new Sonci game that came out Tuesday.
