This is what happens when you try to squeze a Genesis game onto a Gamboy. They could have just re-made this for the Xbox or something but noooo... Can't anyone make a good game for handheld systems?
i thought it was retarded when i played it but then i changed my mind when i saw my secert twin sister play it i cracked up cuz she kept on jumping even when she didnt want to then my 6 1/2 cuz played it and it was funnier she just kept on running into the ground like walls
People responsible for this crap "port" should get sued by all poor gamers who wasted their money on it. Seriously, this GBA version is as good as Mortal Kombat Advance. How could SEGA allow such despicable game puzzles me indeed.
The Labyrinth Zone on this piece of crap is absolute torture; underwater, it's like Sonic is in an anti-gravity mode! To make matters worse, the countdown music for when you're about to drown can't even keep up with the numbers!
True. The glitches were HORRIBLE and some of the voice acting was kinda cheesy. But I liked it anyway... Sonic Riders, on the other hand, was just plain TERRIBLE
Another thing I HATE is the missleading modes. Original should have had the music of Genisis like Golden Axe and SpinBall on the Sega collection. Anniversery should have had the new music (but better like in SA, they have original music that sounds better), spin dash and some other.
You can see when he jumps that his colors are messed up a bit, like a gif with lower colors. Shows they aren't even trying.
The port is probably up there with the horrid EWJ ports, evil as EWJ is half dead now.
Why didn't they utilize the engine and sound of Sonic Advance? It's closer to the first's then this one. This is is screwed up and things don't even stop you. You can be speeding and then jump, hitting an object, and when your jump clears it you keep speeding.
The GBA isn't that off with screen size. SMW's intro has 14 16x16 wooden blocks stacked vertically and GBA, 10. However, they should have done an optional zooming out with the SNES like sprite maniplation ability.
If that's true, then they have less excuse, as the advance engine was already complete when it came to its physics. All they had to do was tweak it and add different sprite and tile graphics, also altering the map. They also should have kept the mode 7 style sprite rotation for going up ramps and loop de loops.
@silenceofthehills yeah, but they just had to be lazy and pull another Sonic 06 on us. Sonic Retro user Stealth proved that Sonic 1 can work on the GBA.
I never understood the appeal of Sonic CD. I mean it's a great game, but I would put it just a little above Sonic 2. Sonic 3& Knuckles is imoa the best sidescrolling sonic game.
shanesclayland I agree sega messed up the genesis one is the spikes and the spindash but the game on gba and genesis is cool

I think it would help if you wrote what you were going to say before you actually did the review so you didn't stutter so much.

In YOUR opinion.
I liked it very much.
Sawtje2 2 years ago
it was horrible to the other 3d sonics, the story i liked though.
It had so many glitches, terrible voice acting, it was rushed. it was a unfinished mess.
If it wasnt rushed it would have been so much better
it had potential

I actually found most of Next Gen's glitches fun. XD
And yes Sonic Riders was worse. But compared to this trash Sonic Riders is Sonic Unleashed quality.

Original as in SA has the original's music in it too, but sounds better aranged in SA1-3 then this one tries at updating it.

@silenceofthehills that's exactly what they did. They used the Sonic Advance engine. But they made the game in a time period of 2 weeks.

Mega pixels? Do you even know what you're talking about? Of course it doesn't have to be zoomed in, ya mug, it's called cropping.

the gba does not have a lot of mega pixels
so it has to BE zoomed in!
