[227someguy]

thumbs up if u were thinking

1.Ix=xigbar

2. wtf no score johnny?

[blkknightrutter]

This was the first SGB review made, right?

[YOURBOYRDC16]

STILL WAITING

[Mugenman90]

lol unoriginal copy of top rated comment

[SONICBOYREBORN234]

Ok game, but terrible music...

[kevin11rules]

why are the top comments the same?

[IMmephiles]

dont you just hate it when the two top comments are the sa... oh lets not even go there

[Sly88Frye]

I found this game extremely enjoyable when I played it. I played it so much and I must say I think this game is longer than any Sonic game to ever come out, or at least longer than any Sonic game that I have ever played.

Yeah, some of the navigation music isn't too impressive, but later in the game, that music definitely improves.

I think the battle music is absolutely amazing in this game though. Really well done and I enjoy the battle systems and different POW moves.

[RockinPSI]

lol big the fatass

[bowserfan26]

ZIGGY

[dapoppy42]

I actually liked this game, only my brother threw it out the window, and my DS stopped working DX

[MusicAndMe96]

A part 2? Its been around 3 1/2 years since this came out. Odds are they just dropped the damn thing due to all the complaints by fans.

[superwilliamlogan]

Great news you can unlock the song super sonic racing in this game which is AWSOME p.s sonic R is a game cursed by the tails doll

[xtheirishwearwolf]

im going to call big big the fatass 4 now on

[xtheirishwearwolf]

did bioware divelop mass effect 2

[MetalGearOliverMK2]

Ziggy

[djb1ge]

"Eye ex"? IX is nine, Johnny.

[zanic3000]

love how both top comments are a 100% the same

[XsvruploaderX]

Hey Johnny can you try out the Mass Effect series even if your put of from the first game I would still play the second because it is a huge improvement over the first but its your choice if you want to or not?

[ThePrayingMantis08]

1:55

devious picture much

[volkswagenginetta]

i got lost. wait a minute sonic chronicles is not on the nes.....HOLY SHIT HOW DID I END UP PLAYING METROID?

[MLGRacoons]

lol knuckles i an echidna , he should have had a steryotipical aussie acent lol

[weyandt123]

oh shit... i was playing metroid

[drummingboy5]

I have a quesiton. Can you still play eggman after completeing the game?

[Hedgehonore]

The top comments are the same. Why the fuck is 50% of all videos here have two exact same top comments?

[RocketRaccoon99]

Huh, So thats why Sonic is using the screw attack. [SCREW ATTACK!]

[Quackers123456789]

i think sonic unleashed is part 2

[Trigger99X]

@Quackers123456789 this game isn't canon with seeing as bioware based it off the comics the rest of the series but part 2 will be on the 3ds

[Quackers123456789]

@Trigger99X how? sally never appears

[Trigger99X]

@Quackers123456789 maybe in the next game but bioware got they story based off the comics like the swat bots and robotizing it's not completely based of it but thats mainly where it comes from it's like they fuse both stories

[TheRunner241]

Why is that when ever some one mentions Rouge I can't help but think of a very perversly dressed bat girl. Oh well I guess its just me.

[TheAngelo505]

Big the fat ass!! Lmfao!!!!

[anthonyreviews64]

if he councured the world how did the future games take place

[WilsonsWardrobe]

@anthonyreviews64 Maybe Sonic Chronicles is part of a separate timeline.

[bluekidblue]

umm johnny "ziggy" is a girl not a boy

[VelvetWind8]

@bluekidblue Ziggy's a girl?!?! Are you sure?!

[bluekidblue]

@VelvetWind8 i mean shade opps

[AdmiralBobbery123]

I actually like these reviews, the way you show tons of different pictures to substitute for footage. I also, like how you do show game footage a little, just to show what it's like.

[HyperDarkerSonic]

the secal was canceled for some reason

[HedgehogWill]

THE MASTER EMERALDS ,WHAT THE FUCKING FUCKED UP SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheSkarmorymaster]

i fought 1 fight and i quit playing it.

[sonicmaster95]

there a remix of an awesome theme that sucked in this game and i'll tell you where I heard it and that is in the outer areas of the final area.

[sonicmaster95]

It took me forever to beat the final boss because my DS touch screen was screwed up so doing input commands was hard.

[jruler93]

Fun fact (from Clementj642 AKA The Great Clement): Male echidnas, like Knuckles, have four penises.

[ChaoticDarkShadow]

@jruler93 no male echidnas have a four headed penis

[BCkhaos]

i nvr beat this...cause i got lost...

[pokecommander64]

Ziggy dissliked this

[gtvnetwork]

Very easy? I must just suck

[sonick123456]

@gtvnetwork It's not that you suck, it's just that johnny is too good.

[bluehedgehog59]

Lolazer LOL

[LiGenVideoPros]

I remember getting this on release.

[bundleization]

hey johnny, tone it down about big i heard if you make fun of him he rips off your head and shits down your neck.

[DemonioPenguino]

I see by your shirt you're a fan of Screwattack-SCREWATTACK!

...Damn it.

[SkydiveTheHedgehog]

@supershadow6661

Nope, I've tried that and it doesn't work. Bioware knew where to stop in terms of how the Chao can break the game.

[gamer4lyfe1985]

I love the picture of cream you have is smiling when you say that she's cheap.

[Dingosilver57]

CHAO yes those adorable little bastards are back lol.

[HyperTechify]

big the fat ass! lol

[SweaterSwagg]

LOLaser ftw

[aggie1138]

1:42 Tails' Shoes Look Like Sonic's 0_o

[burnoutpro15]

IX...I can't really pronounce that so we'll just call him ZIGGY. XD

[supershadow6661]

wait!i haven't tried this but u cn kill ix with 1 combo as super sonic but does the chao that lets combos hit all the time make ix go down without u even doing anything?

[MrJonman14]

I think i will pick this up when i get the chance. Wait did you ever mention the random subplots?

[krisdavalos]

lol big the fatass

[sonicdude8745]

@krisdavalos wtf i dont see a single thumbs up

[avatarchrisrocks]

Beat it like 5-10 times

[IMmephiles]

wasnt tikal an echidna too?

[techman987]

@IMmephiles she was only in flashbacks and is dead in their time

[IMmephiles]

@techman987 ow... ouch

[POKEBALL009]

lol big the fatass

[Diddstarpure]

@POKEBALL009 Pissed myself at that.

[cixlo]

dude just review sonic rush already. not like there any chance to record the way you want now with the DS3 

[VGHierophant]

Why does he linear like that?

[1234hippyhair]

Ha ziggy

[NeonTotodile]

ZIGGY

[InfinitiveShadow]

I did enjoy this game for a little bit, but it seemed like the game was designed for kids, which doesnt seem too bad but still I was awaiting a serious RPG.

[IvanovIvanAKrutoi]

@SomecallmeJohnny

Did you know that they also re-arranged the tracks from Sonic CD(Japanese version) in Sonic Chronicles? The first remix that I could think of is Collision Chaos Bad Future which played in Angel Island. The other one is Tidal Tempest Past.

[XLRO8]

ya i beat this game and i like running through the stages avoiding adnicks and crap just to see how fluint i can do it but that got boring and i just play pokemon again

[AllStarKingD]

i loved the music sorry ....

9/10 for me sorry but the game is very difficult when you reach space i mean very difficult! 

[Randomizer903]

@AllStarKingD difficult? the final stage is easy for me. well, i level grind my characters by fighting gizoid teams in the Voxai colony (9000 XP per battle, slightly more if you use Choopaloo chao). i'm always level 21 when i begin the final stage, while most others are 16-18.

the rest of of the space stages are easy too, if you grind and use the right strategies. i don't like ignoring random battles and sidequests, it's an addiction of mine, i just HAVE to beat them.

[HedgehogWill]

what happend to super tails

[IvanovIvanAKrutoi]

@HedgehogWill

And what happened to the Super Emeralds? Tails needed those to be Super Tails!

[HedgehogWill]

big the fat ass

[SweaterSwagg]

OKAY?! That theme was pretty freakin sweet to me!!!

[HedgehogWill]

it sounds DS, but not sonic

[boa322]

you know whats ironic thats my real name

[edsandsonicatolympic]

Personally I found this game hard because of the controls.

[IvanovIvanAKrutoi]

"Does this sound like a DS game?" *music plays, then stops*

"No, it does not. It sounds like it was made for the Sega Game Gear"

NO! Game Gear has diffrent sound system. To me, it sounds like this game was made for Nintendo Game Boy!

[KatamariParadox]

Lol Joined/Plagued

[jruler93]

WARNING: MINOR SPOILERS!!!

Well, through common logic, if Shade is 400 years old, and looks the way she (YES she) looks, then Knuckles (only being 16 years old) would still be a mere infant, explaining his severe idiocy.

[AllStarKingD]

okay and i know everyone agrees the ending of this game was some hard shit! i got lost sometimes , and using/buying abilites are needed! its like its opposite day were you live cause the game is fun , sometimes hard , enjoyable , and sometimes a maze i hope they make a part 2!

8.9/10

[yoyomantebest]

the remixes are true about metropolis, central city, blue ridge zone, and other places while others are just new,bad sound tracks. this is probably the only game that has failed in the soundtrack for sonic.

[shadow1630]

the music sound like i put a cat on a piano

[xXCamBeast31Xx]

My dog is named ziggy :3

[zoeyyaks]

can you review crono trigger?

[SonicAngel23]

I actually like the music. The part about the remixes is a complete lie though. I think it's a nice game, although I'm stuck on it. I can't remember what I'm suck on, but I know you have to take part in this tournament, which is annoying.

[DocRavage]

Hmm, I would think that having interactive elements Paper Mario style would be a good thing. It'd help to keep you from getting bored, so what's the problem?

Also, when can I expect an Elite Beat Agents review? :D

Or do you even still have the game?

[JREY209]

BIG THE FATASS

[ZoanBlade90]

I was abotut to say "Time to torment this guy for giving this game a bad score." But seriously, this is just plain good. Especially if you have an Action Replay. The new elements included,Shadow has a bigger role(Yes, I'm a Shadow fanboy,so sue me),the new character introduced; it goes on. In all honesty, Due to the recent games coming out for other consoles, I've been busy with other games to finish this. I just it finishes well.

[Mewrulez99]

My favourite Pow move is echidna rush... I think it's called echidna rush. But I can never seem to find omega...

[SuperSonicBreadman09]

I cant beat it cause i missed 1 of the characters.... now it just sux. I cant go back, so its been unplayed since 2008. I have AR, but there rnt any cheats to help... soooo i rate it 2/10 :S

[hellofahedgehog]

lol "big the fatass"

[seanMmaguire1]

With the release of the 3DS on the horizen I hope Bioware take advantage of that handheld's power to the Sequel to this game

[gameboy123able1]

Are you planing on reviewing sonic colors? please tell me!

[teamnoah111]

IX Means 9

[matthatter56]

It almost sounds like this is going to lead into the Sonic Sat AM series with Robotnick taking over and such.

[luigibarqs]

This game is awful in my opinion, it feels very low quality and there are many major flaws and glitches that just break the game. I wouldn't rate it any higher than 2.7/10 but due to originality of the game and attempting something new with Sonic I might be willing to bump it up to a 3.7/10

[gameboy123able1]

sooooooooooo...whuts your overall rateing?

[CaptainBakaSama]

I love how you say its VERY EASY and impossible to get lost.

And here I stopped playing the game last year cause it was too hard and I got lost all the time XD

[darkshadowssonic]

i got tons of chao that mean i dont have to do pow moves one for each charecter so i kinda broke the gameplay =D

[MASOFENT]

Sega remove the original BSO by legal cuestions or something, and replace by fan made MIDI´s audio from Internet...

[SENATORPAIN1]

i took this game back after 2 days. really didnt like it. but wouldnt try trying again maybe.

[glitchmakr]

Big the fat ass LOLOLOLOL LOLAZER

[MykonosFan]

I did find the game quite easy. For those times when the plot doesn't split up Sonic, Tails, Amy, and Knuckles, I just abused Tails' MediBot ability, put the Auto-POW Chao on Sonic, and had him use his POW move that involves all four characters. Hits about 7 times and dishes out quite a deal of damage.

[jmario232]

I believe the villains name is pronounced as you see it. Ix=Icks

[SonicSpriter14]

Ok this needs a sequal

[kpsonicstudios]

kool game

[Chibiknux]

damn i hated this game

its my least favorite sonic game by FAR

its slow and tedious

dialogs are overacted

all the music sucks

you say its easy but i think its fucking hard

(IN MY OPINION :D)

i dont like it e.e

[hisworldSA2]

I managed to beat this game twice in one week. And believe me, it is PATHETIC on the second playthrough because you keep your experience from the previous game.

[Nonjola]

Haha! Ziggy!

[BossRunCentral]

i completed this game like,10 times or something lol

[BossRunCentral]

@BossRunCentral its that easy

[ChaosDread]

You're right, this game is not what retro fans were hoping for. I found the concept of counter-attacking and inputing attacks like you do in Paper Mario, but more complicated and irritating. Plus, the final boss is easier than Perfect Chaos!

[TheCreatorFizz]

I hate the last level...

[volker136]

does sonic ever tell knuckles

"so... where's that reward for saving your ass so many times?"

[AnticDispossession]

Game is canceled because of Bioware's new masters. EA sucks balls.

[KirbySonicTeam]

I 100% beat this game (actually we all did) well not counting getting all the chao but I have like 3 or 4 I cant find or get to and I still go back and replay it

[THEANIMEPERV]

i hated useing the toutch screen all the time on this game but i did like that theres robot enemys called swat bots nice throw back to the sonic cartoons thats the only thing i like about the game.

[patriotpyro]

5:50, Sweet Rave Party!

[shaneme3]

big the fat ass, lol ftw, I hate that fat ass

[manfandan]

the nocturnous planet music is a remix of sonic 3 and knuckles final boss theme!

[manfandan]

the music in this game sounds like it was from cat mario

[SonicandInuyasha]

I think one i'm the one Sonic fan that likes this game. the music is ok. I kinda like the little remix of green hill zone in this game. It's funny that Green Hill Zone is in this game. Nice review!

[manfandan]

the only 2 bosses i had trouble on was the 3 swatbots and water ermal. i didnt realy like the game. i would stick with final fantasy and pokemon if you want a decent RPG. and im not buying the second one.

[TheClassicalgamer1]

Sonic Chronicles in my opnion was one Sonic games I've ever played. I liked your review but not the game.

[nunchuk28]

@TheClassicalgamer1 of the worst Sonic games you have played?

[TheClassicalgamer1]

Thanks for correcting me. No I didn't like Sonic Chronicles, I just didn't really like it or enjoy it.

[TheClassicalgamer1]

I gave Sonic Chronicles another chance and it's actually pretty fun, but I still think thy're better Sonic games out there.

[thejobloshow]

Um, spoilers much?

[SomecallmeJohnny]

Description warns of Spoilers.

[Trayxxxx]

Nice review. I beat the game awhile ago. i thought the story was awesome and the music was.....meh. And gameplay uber easy but really fun. But I think this was a really good start for bioware. I'm hoping they will make the game harder to beat myself. we can only wait and see.

YA-HA!!!

[Jakeiiiiblade]

I totally agree, they should just make the sequel a LOT harder. Also, I didn't even know that you could use power ups until like 3/4 of the game through. I barely used them, I just used chao which could actually be useful

[Zamy56478]

"Ziggy" LOL!

[nunchuk28]

My only problem with the game, the story is bullshit

[Jakeiiiiblade]

That was, one of the greatest points of the game

[nunchuk28]

@Jakeiiiiblade sorry for a late reply, but space echidnas? come on bioware, you can do it much better than that. I have played plenty of RPG's, but none of them got such a silly and stupid story as the on on Sonic Chronicles. But thats just me, to each their own

[THEANIMEPERV]

it wasent what i was inspecting ill stick with pokemon games thank you.

[DarkArtistKaiser]

I agree with your review. You are awesome man.

The music in this game is rather forgetable, which is sad for a SONIC GAME.

[goldenboy125]

I really did enjoy your review...I'm a huge Sonuc fan so I liked this game....actually I just finished the game like 10 mins ago and I actually reeli enjoyed it had me hooked these past 3 days! I think the RPG was aiight (7.5/10) but the music was pretty fail (remixed oldies), the final boss was too easy I was Super Sonic for like 10 secs but overall it was enjoyable!

[johnnydouble7]

i have the game for my birthday it was yesterday and i did enjoy and i would give it a 9/10 the game is really awesome but i hate that fucking music

[poopcritic]

wow that button pushing and tapping is like legend of the dragoon for the play station

[soradrago]

liked the review but you didnt even give the score.

mine telling me what it is.

[SomecallmeJohnny]

7/10

[RunnerGuitar]

@SomecallmeJohnny no no NO! 4/10

[tmanuel44]

@SomecallmeJohnny You know what else is fucked up about the audio? The sounds they make when your character gets hit. They sound so bad it's hilarious! XD

[xxMangixx1]

@SomecallmeJohnny when is mario gonna get a month :D

[SonicShuffle]

He had on the shirt of Jose Punto from screw attack. Cool!

[Raveheart90]

Interesting. I like your reviews, Johnny. They're fairly comprehensive, humorous when the moment is right, and most importantly: laid-back and level-headed. I'm glad to see that around. Same goes for your review/rant of Sonic Unleashed, which gave me decent expectations for trying it out (instead of convincing me whether or not Sonic is dead or alive) once I can get my hands on a 360. Thanks for the good job, and keep it up. I've just subscribed :)

[AVGNROCKS1996]

@Raveheart90 You forgot to also say nice to see a level headed sonic fan that knows the good from the bad

[knightoflight100]

I think I feel exactly the way you reviewed. I was absolutely disapointed with the soundtrack, especially with Green Hill Zone. I mean, waht the hell was that new "music" crap? AHHH!

[cyndaguy]

so this game is very easy? my friend says its impossible. LITERALLY. then again that could be because he decided to avoid all the enemies at the start. :/

[SomecallmeJohnny]

Well, if you choose to avoid the enemies all together, then yeah, it could get a bit difficult along the road. But again, you don't really need to level up excessively either.

[ishingo69]

Great review. When the battle music started, I went staight for my Ecstacy pills and glowsticks. "You're in Zion, baby!"

[SomecallmeJohnny]

Lol, oh Andy Dick.

[KingMasterReview]

It's THAT easy?

[SomecallmeJohnny]

I believe so.

[KingMasterReview]

You were right johnny, the game was easy. TOOO EASY I mean. I beat it in two days.

Sonic Chronicles Is A GREAT Game. :)

[keybladersupreme]

Will you be reviewing unleashed when it comes out?...and do you have any thoughts for now of what you think of it so far?

And Good review I hope to see more of you in the future

[SomecallmeJohnny]

Yes, I'll be reviewing it when it comes out. As for thoughts now; I think it has a lot of promise. I'll know for sure when the demo is released.

I plan on making one more Sonic video before Unleashed is...wel...unleashed. ^_^
