Colors is still great too and they ought to give it the HD treatment.

Running it in Dolphin with the 60 fps cheat is quite nice.

Speaking of DS games...anyone remember sonic battle?

Neat concept but it needed some actual mechanics over spamming r to win every fight.

Well, yes but it doesn't matter. As soon as you get the last time stone, you're locked in to the good ending because the implication is that Sonic used them to prevent Eggman from ever doing anything in those zones in the first place. Getting all of the time stones and getting all of the machines is redundant unless you really like to explore levels.

Getting all the Time Stones auto-destroys all the machines in the past, much to my horror during my "destroy all machines" run. Still went out of my way to find them though because exploring the levels is fun. :kiddo:

every other barrel in the game allows you to pass by jumping.

sonic 2 is the best sonic but the difference in goodness between the good games is so slim.

Sonic 2 has the worst special stages and the quality of levels starts to fall off around Casino Night Zone and careens into a flaming freefall around Oil Ocean Zone.

In the same line of thinking that went into the awful "Adventures of" cartoon, I guess

i think you mean sonic underground, both in terms of awfulness and sonic probably kissing himself.

...but I don't have that version of the game, hence why I was asking how it compares to the Wii one

PS3 version has a full set of levels in Mazuri and an extra set of levels to play in Empire City compared to the Wii version. It doesn't have the Gaia Gate puzzle rooms. It does have Sonic Adventure/Sonic 2006-ish wandering around hubs for the next cutscene as well as small tasks you can do for npcs. PS3 version has a greater focus on collecting sun and moon medals to progress versus the Wii version only locking off puzzle rooms with medals.

One thing I did like about Sonic Unleashed for the Wii is that you always start a level with a set amount of lives and you can upgrade that number throughout the game. I liked that system a lot actually and wouldn't mind if they put it in more games.

the bad part about that is that you need to grind medals to unlock the puzzle rooms that contain the max lives counter upgrades, but the good part about that is that you get to play the puzzle rooms.

Simsmagic posted:

I don't really mind this because getting medals isn't that awful in the Wii version, it's just doing well on stages = more medals. It's a better system than the HD version's "search every nook and cranny in every level" at least.

What's weird is that I prefer the systems of the Wii version a lot more than the HD version between how lives and medals work, but the level designs in that game are just the worst. If it had better level design I don't think it'd be quite so (rightfully) overlooked in favor of the PS360 version.

If you're going all-in on unlocking puzzle rooms and extra missions though you do have to scour the levels for collectable art and music since some missions (and therefore medals earned by beating them) are arbitrarily locked by having X amount of macguffins gathered. Then you might as well collect all the doodads just to unlock the shittiest daytime level in the game which holds the last doodad: a cg movie of Sonic and Chip fighting over a meat bun. :whitewater:

e: the best version of Sonic Unleashed is clearly the Java version

Further proving that Europeans are wrong about everything.

Like, my first exposure to Sonic 3 and Knuckles was the Windows 95 port that had replaced music for some levels.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bO47alrxZIk

Sure, that's what I grew up with, but holy poo poo it's terrible MIDI garbage and the real BGM is sooo much better.

EDIT: Okay after checking, EVERY level had MIDI/FM version of their music, but some levels (Ice Cap, Carnival Night, Launch Base) had their music completely rewritten due to copyright issues.

Yeah the replaced music is kinda bleh but when you have the right hardware and OS you can get some great results.

It's also yet another tech demo set in something approximating Green Hill, where you can play with the physics and not much else. Yawn. Call me when one of these projects actually has levels.

I mean it is impressive in both look and feel, yes, but that really isn't very interesting.

It's the only time I've played a 3D Sonic fan thing where I've thought yeah, this plays really intuitively and I definitely want some real levels to play in. I don't think it deserves to be ignored because there's a million other 3D Sonic fan things that are just plain poo poo.

I wonder if the Dimps games could have actually been good if they weren't on systems with frustratingly small, low-res screens. A Sonic Advance 2 or Sonic Rush where you could have a chance of seeing the pits coming up sounds like fun.
