  • the only good sonic game in the last 10 years

    but still boring game

  • I Dont hate sonic's friends there just trying to help... Although every time a hear "that looks like a homing attack", I want to kill one of them...the thing is they can be annoying sometimes but other times there fine.

  • I'm sorry I ever doubted IGN

  • I am addicted to this game! The only problem is u can't play as shadow :(

  • I give it a 9 at the MOST. For one, the only dumb friends of sonic is probably amy and knuckles (by smartness). Though next time I wanna play as his friends sometime. And few bosses? Nothing like a DLC cant solve I guess...

  • EAT THAT SEGA, EVERYONE WANTS SONIC'S FRIENDS OUTTA DA GAME

  • The comment about City Escape was part of a positive point about how you can chage the music. 8.5 is a bloody good score, they gave the same thing to Black Ops for gods sake.

  • @eateroftheflame yeah, such a flattery to black ops, to be scored the same as this. Black Ops sucked.

  • "There are only so many time's you can hear city escape before you want to kill yourself." Wtf are you talking about? that song is awesome!

  • IGN reviewers will give any game flak if it isn't a AAA blockbuster game like BF3, Call of Duty: MW3, or Skyrim. I own all the games aforementioned, but let's face it, you eventually get sick of serious games like this and just want to sit down and play some sonic with a side of nostalgia.

  • @FrikkenChicken well zelda isnt too blockbuster, and skyward sword got a 10/10

  • @FrikkenChicken  quit bxtching

  • Things that I disagree with: Sonic had been doing pretty well since 2009, all the songs aren't too bad and the remixes for City Escape are fine, Classic Sonic is more Sonic 2 and Modern Sonic is More Unleashed, The controls aren't too bad but they can be improved also don't try and say the game is bad based on your first play through, There's 7 Bosses more than Sonic 1, The "dumb" friends mission (Besides Vector's) are fine.

  • i just wonder about dlc for this game. will there be any?

  • @Wing565 there's a downloadable casino night zone pinball game, i don't know if there's anything else though.

  • @Wing565 There's one already.

  • fucking controls??????

  • "It's an 'omage'"

    >'omage

    >Not homage

    Americans.....

  • @Samusaran20XX Get your racist self out of here

  • @ubermaster1 Americans aren't a race

  • "There are only so many times you can hear city escape before you kill yourself"

    Proceeds to play city escape for the remainder of the video

  • This is the only peice of evidence I can think of, where IGN actually reveiws something correctly. Most of the time they are so easily swayed with money *COUGHCoDCOUGH*, that they are given the phrase,"You can't spell ignorant without IGN", by most of the gaming community.

  • sonics freinds are not dumb

  • I swear, the sonic fanbase are full of immature idiots. Sometimes, it's think these morons just come to these videos just to just rant on IGN due to a certian Sonic Unleashed review. The sonic fanboys are the bias ones, not IGN the way I see it.

  • @nintendolife25 Sometimes, this review was pretty off though. Also they took marks of Colours because it was "too hard".

  • @TehComentar They didn't take points from the game for it being "too hard". They took off points for difficulty spikes. If you don't know what that is, it's an unbalanced pacing of the game. One level you play can be too easy, the next can be ridiculously, then the other can be easier than the first two. Why do sonic fans ALWAYS get this wrong?

  • @nintendolife25 Okay let me explain it in complex detail because you seem to be so literal.

    They claimed that the games difficult doesn't move at a steady pace but the only problem I ran into was Planet Wisp Act 1 but that was only because I didn't know how to trick right.

  • @TehComentar Whatever, I'm in no mood for a pointless sonic debate. I'm just going to say stop watching their video if you guys are going to complain every time even when the score is good. I take my leave....

  • @nintendolife25 Okay I see unlike some fans I don't hate this review, but they gotta calm down about Sonic's past.

  • @nintendolife25 They also took point away from the DS version because "When you lose all your lives you have to start the level from the beginning" that's one of the many times their off.

  • I disagree I think the soundtracks in modern sonic games (yes with the vocals) are much better than most video game soundtracks and I could listen to City Escape 102903842352 times, but that's just me.

  • Is this game worth buying?

    I'm asking cause the demo was shit.

  • @TheBulletDodgingMan I just got and I love it, but the choice is up to you.

  • @TheBulletDodgingMan If the demo didn't impress you

    >Implying the demo is shit

    Then what do you think?

  • you sound like a little woman.

  • Can anyone give me a sonic dimensions update???

  • @RandomClashers It's fake.

  • Why dont you people mention that 2 missions of the game were amazing running and a typical sonic game to all this mini game shit like fighting metal sonic and having one ring it sucks.

  • i thought this game was fantastic

  • i tryed to spinndash once

  • still hate on sonic i see half the game is sonic 4 and half is sonic color wtf man

  • @sonic4life222 ikr most of igns reviews is bs anyways because everyone knows u cant spell ignorant without IGN

  • I just though it was too short and weak story. but still freaking amazing

  • You all need to get this game it's a giant sorry note from sega it's okay guys but sonic dimensions better be good

  • @poohtournc It's fake

  • Though it seems like they finally got it right, I'm still not a fan of the game mostly playing itself/being like a racer. You had more control over Sonic in the Adventure games.

  • The only real problem i had with this game was the length. I wish they could have put in an ASSLOAD of classic levels, and maybe some new ones.

  • I like how this guy complains about the sonic characters when his voice sounds like he is shoving cocks into his own mouth

  • @FatIrishDrunkie He doesn't complain about them, just mentions that the missions that feature them aren't as well designed as some as the others

  • generations in one piece of gimmick.

  • oh my gosh you were being such a pessimist and then give it an 8.5?

  • "Clunky control moments" he says, that crash into a wall was your own fault.

    "Lackluster boss fights" he says, Metal Sonic attempting to ram you as an electric meteor and attempting to smash Shadow is lackluster, then?

    He also claims that the missions starring Sonic's friends are dumb because he finds Sonic's friends dumb, but he only shows one mission like that, one with Knux, is that a way to back up a statement?

  • ''Sure i may sound gay for a while but now i also suck serious ass at sonic.''

  • how dare he hate on city escape

  • when did city escape become anoying-i thoughjtt it was fan favorete

  • I don't really like asking for thumbs up but I feel like I'm the only one who wants a Sonic Adventure 3, Sonic Heroes 2, and Shadow the Hedgehog 2.

  • Does anyone else hate this guys voice?

  • (looks at comments) I hate this fanbase

  • I would GLADLY hear City Escape 1 million fucking times and that would actually push the thought of suicide out of my head forever, that song is awesome, fuck this guy...

  • okay someone please tell me whats wrong with sonic fanboys. they gave the game an 8.5 they arent going to give it game of the year lol. its fanfreaks like u people that give sonic fans a bad name. thumbs this so idiots can open their eyes.

  • @SonicSketcher1997 you think a comment can stop all fanboys thats impossible

  • who gives a crap if ign gives a game a "bad" review. if your so caught up with there opinion your the one that clicked on the video. lol

  • Why would they hire a slut as a reviewer? I call him a slut because he isn't a virgin and walks like a penguin, ewwww...

  • IGN just hates the sonic series, they just suck on the nintendo franchise.

  • @cosmodio4 8.5 is bad?

    Unless youre saying unleashed and black knight were GOOD or something...

  • @cosmodio4 No they don't, all the shitty scores given? All those games deserved them. And how does an 8.5 in any way a bad score?

  • You can't spell Ignorance without IGN

  • @solidsnake1211 What was ignorant about this review...?

  • "Half of the game is Sonic 4, and the other half is Sonic Colors..."

    That's when I stopped taking your opinion seriously.

  • He said ESSENTIALLY before saying that.

    Classic Sonic here is like the one in Sonic 4 because you can get the Homing Attack for it, and it has Spin-Dash.

    Modern Sonic is like the one in Sonic Colors, with the Wisp powers mostly removed. It has a Boost Meter (like Sonic Colors), and the gameplay perspective shifts from 2.5D to 3D and back.

    He said ESSENTIALLY. That doesn't mean that half the game IS Sonic 4 and half of it IS Sonic Colors.

  • @ChaosMew161 *You can't have half a dimension.

    *You forgot to click the reply button, you just left a comment on the video.

  • @Ramorvee You'd be right, except 2.5 is not a mathematical term, it's a term used in the gaming industry to describe a game with 3D graphics but its movement is restricted to a 2D plane. It's slang, and acting all pretentious and saying "you can't have half a dimension" is like a conversation that goes like "aww dude this movie is gonna be so cool" "actually this theater is quite warm" "hey bro do you want to get some popcorn?" "you are not my sibling"

  • @ChaosMew161

    The word 'essentially' does not excuse this kind of catch-all, lazy reviewing.

  • @Gaz6231 Agreed.. I'm starting to wonder if the reviewer stopped playing mid game or if he's just completely brain dead. Either way this was one hell of a bad review.

  • That looks like a homing shot! That looks like a homing shot! That looks like a homing shot! That looks like a homing shot! That looks like a homing shot! That looks like a homing shot!

  • @10samm10 what did you say?

  • he listens to justin bieber that bastard

  • screw this they should of remade sonic R!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • City escape song sucks? EXCUSE ME? and WTF do you listen to? Nickle-back?

  • Erm...I'm 13 and I've played Sonic 1, 2, 3&K, even the Game Gear games. Sure, it was on Mega Collection, but don't discriminate, DeVries.

  • They need to make freaking Sonic Adventure 3

  • @outdatedboat Sonic Unleashed was originally planned to be named Sonic Adventure 3.

  • @53Spawn uhh...you sure? Because Unleashed is nothing like SA1 or SA2

  • @ghhgyiufff yeah its true it was confirmed by sega unleashed was gonna be sa3 but they scrapped that and added werehog. new abilities in the form of items you have to collect in hub worlds:sa1 in japan its called sonic world adventure.

  • @outdatedboat sonic 06 was adventure 3 think about it

    it introduced a new hedgehog like adventure 2

    it had 3 hubworlds like adventure 1

    its levels are reminded of both sa 1 and sa2 levels

    so yeh i think its adventure 3 06 is sadly

  • @sonictard12 Actually Sonic Heroes is Sonic Adventure 3.

  • @Wiintendoh how??? 06 introduced a new hedgehog like sa2 did there hubworlds in 06 like adventure 1 and as i said the levels are tributes to adventure 1 and 2 levels emreld coast for example apart from charcthers being brought bk such as big,amy and shadow being brought bk as playble chracthers so my friend i think your makeing a mistake

  • @sonictard12 Sorry but I can barely read that. What on Earth are you trying to say?

  • @Wiintendoh I beleive he's trying to say 06 was sa3 because it introudeced a new hedgehog and had hubworlds.

  • you don't know how to review sonic games.and city escape,BAD?FUCK YOU YOU DUMBASS

  • Why does this guy have to review the game!?! He's my least favourite reviewer on ign. Oh well, at least the game got an 8.5 but CITY ESCAPE'S MUSIC IS FUCKING AWESOME SO SHUT UP!

  • I was totally on board until he knocked City Escape. I don't really remember many bosses in the few Sonic games I played anyway, and to be fair, most were Dr. Robotnik/Eggman in a different robot. Seeing as he's not there most of the time, but doing dark things involving the "purple monster", I can forgive that.

    Looks worth a week-long rent at least.

  • By the way, you guys are ranting on the review even tho it got an 8.5? that's really good! Sometimes I think you idiots just come to these videos without watching them to just rant on IGN like, "durr hurr hurr can't spell ignorance without IGN I'm so clever hurr durr!" I've seen that so many times Its not even the least bit funny anymore, like the arrow to the knee meme. IGN isn't as biased as they used to be and you know it, so shut the hell up and watch the review and get on with your lives.

  • Sega has redeemed themselves for me, at least for now anyways.

  • 1:26 Wel, now EVERYONE hates you. You don't fuck with that.

  • few bosses? Since when was sonic the hedehog about the bosses? The bosses throughout every sonic game was ALWAYS easy. I've never come across a sonic game where the boss was harder. It's just how sonic is. It's about being fast. It's hard to be fast fighting a boss. as for controls. When moving quickly, it's not exactly easy to be pinpoint accurate with controls. In 2d sonics, it was easy, you only had to hold down 1 button and jump frequently. 3d involves direction.

  • a 35 sec advertisement that I can't skip. fuck.

  • i love this game bit what i dont understand is why mordern sonic had side scrolling, isnt that what classic sonic does???, ive only been laying the mordern sonic games (2000-2012) and i recently found out that there was a classic amy rose and classic knuckles and chaotix, why wernt they in the game? but still a fantastic game!!

  • @poojar007 Probably cause it was mainly about Sonic and Tails

  • 10/10 should be the correct answer

  • i give it 9999999999999999 out of 10

  • Does anyone else feel like all of the controls for this game on PS3/360 are slightly delayed?

  • @Triforce9426 its your tv, is it lcd?

  • @Triforce9426 Yeah totally... Sonic isn't very responsive, especially on the side-scroll levels moving right to left / left to right on foot and in the air feels delayed and unresponsive - and he feels like he weighs 300lbs especially when jumping on item boxes... unlike Sonic The Hedgehog 1, 2, 3 and Knuckles (MegaDrive/Genisis) where he was very responsive and very light, those were the best ever Sonics!

  • As for my previous comments and complaints I retract them because after switching to a wired ps3 controller the games plays beautifully this games a great tribute to one of my favorite games of alllll time !

  • @MorningMoonLuster yes no pain no gain lol actually I bought for my iPad too it's gorgeous

  • I would at least gave it a 9 for a rating

  • Check out my Review of Sonic Generations: /watch?v=OboS0YIsrnU

    It's much better than this guy, I promise.

  • Oh yea I must Really "suck" Thats it yeah umm yea right get the fuck outta here kids these days smh dude!

  • And update the lag got better when I bought a better hdmi cable and a new controller for my Ps3 but really no need For insults lol

    Peace!

  • @freeagent2098 are u serious I own every sonic.on genesis and fuckingsega dream cast and genrationsa has horrible lag on jumping. Who the hell do think you are for God sakes. Sonic 4 on my android. Phone has better. Control LOL. And btw im no scrub you think twice before insulting.someone who fought your freedom !

  • @Ohbaby4Lyfe You sound like those "BestGamerUSA" guys.

  • @Ohbaby4Lyfe You bought Sonic 4? AND on the phone?? Are you a masochist or something?

  • To all the scrubs saying the controls are difficult: You guys just suck. You probably weren't even born when the original Sonic 2 and Sonic 3's were released.. If you think this game is too hard... I bet you wouldn't get past the 3nd act in either of those games.

  • People get so easily offended. Almost the whole review praised this game yet the few things he picks out to be bad throws people in to a fit. The controls as modern sonic are a bit clunky when not going fast. The boss fights were kinda lacking. They were too easy. The only one that took more then the first try was the last just cause I ran outev rings since they were too easy to miss. I'm just glade sonic has a respectable game again.

  • Utterly horrificly horrible retarded controls AVGN would have a field day with this game! !

  • @Ohbaby4Lyfe Are you kidding me? The controls are fine. I think you just suck at this game. You probably didn't even beat the original sonics like 2 and 3... Get some practice and play those first.

  • @Ohbaby4Lyfe Dude CALM DOWN!!! You probably just suck.

  • Sonic Colors is better.

  • The thing that pisses me off about sonic fans is that they jackoff to anything with sonic's grill slapped on it

  • those giys lose all crebility if they ever have it

  • dis he call Sonic Unleashed and Sonic and the black Knight bad? Man is true there the best out there but they are okay without or with werehog with or without Black Kinghts those game are okay now if he said Sonic 06 and/or Sonic Heroes well that will be more correct those games sucks.

  • But...but City Escape was MY childhood. Actually it was the first Sonic level from the first Sonic game I've played...

  • @Bocucopo11 YES! YES I AM!!!

  • Maybe get better at the game before reviewing it?

  • @Vman95100

    That argument holds no water.....

  • @JoesGuy ...Ok?

  • ONCE AGAIN. IGN shows their IGNorance in another one of their crappy reviews. :P

  • @justwinx4567 overused joke is overused

  • Local multiplayer?

  • shut up , the controls are precise enough, and this review was crap (well,99.5%was)

  • @23puks Jeez quit bitching, he gave it an 8.5 which is a good score. And you disagree with 99.5% of a review because he talked badly about the controls for like 5 seconds?

  • @THEJ3RM101 was not the controls only , was the problems , his arguing for some idiot stuff about prequels , music (which i´ts good) and extras , sorry means 99.5% , i´ts like 70.0% , if you get it *_*

  • @23puks Still other than that he's still mostly praising the game. Sure hating on City Escape was pretty low, but that and a few other tings is definitely nothing to complain about. But whatever ppl got opinions :P

  • Also there are a pretty good amount of bosses. You also have to get the fucking chaos emeralds which all have a boss guarding them. Who ever hired you must be fucked in the head lol.

  • IGN you guys don't know shit. Real sonic fans know he didn't go anywhere. Clunky controls? You guys just suck at every game. Learn how to fucking drift then talk about clunky controls. Sonic unleashed was actually pretty good even if the werehog stages were time consuming. Also he was't dead. Big purple monster thing? What? Are you too lazy to find out the boss's name? Also it does make sense for high speeds to fix time dipshit. Dissing City Escape? No just no. This is not a good review.

  • Comment removed

  • Why use Toxic Caves? o.O

  • 3:13 Yes, Team Sonic DID listen to the fanbase.

    Because they are Sonic Heroes.

  • Umm NO, just no. Classic Sonic is not like Sonic 4. it is much better then Sonic 4! And What is with this running fast? I guess only if you are good at the game and know the level, but you got to just take the platforming slowly if ya want to do good in your first few play through.

  • THIS SOUNDS LIKE SUPESONICBOOM

  • When I say that I want a Sonic game with "more Tails the Fox," I mean by this that I want to actually PLAY AS Tails the Fox.

  • "Sometimes clunky"

    The guy who got 38 likes on its comment explains this.

  • Don't hate on City Escape, I'd rather listen to it than your shitty review. 

  • @Pokeyph then why are you? -_-

  • @Pokeyph

    That's not saying much about City Escape. ;P

  • @Pokeyph This review is bad?

    Oh right, you're a sonic fag, forgot about that.

  • @MusicTrackers I don't even play that many Sonic games. I've never played most of them.

  • Meanwhile in the Call of Duty reviews: 10 OUT 10!

  • @KendoSF13 and thus is the shame of this generations gaming.

  • @KendoSF13 Actually, this game scored almost as high as MW3.

  • @KendoSF13 mw3 got the same score as this, jackass.

  • @KendoSF13 Funny, Black ops got an 8.5

  • i think that Egoraptor's reaction sounds like:

    This game makes my d*ck rock hard

  • I played the game witch my friend at school kept on talking and naging me to play the new sonic game and i have to admit its really danm GOOD!!! all the old stages from my child hood.

  • I was freaking out when I found out that there's Perfect Chaos in Sonic Generations :D

  • Nice review fair score bad comment on city escape i give this review 3/5

  • @sonicdrawer746 Wait did you just review the review?... REVIEWCEPTION

  • "There's only so many times you can hear City Escape"

    *Plays City Escape*

    Fail

  • Hear City Escape only so many times? Never! I had the number one time for a while and hold top 1% now for the level and always listen to the original song.

  • I hated the sonic unleashed night time stages but LOVED the day stages. I can't wait to play Perfect Chaos after I got rid of my GameCube !

  • and the boss battles are gonna be dumbed down abit. do you really want to go through EVERY SINGLE end boss being as hard as they were before? i would probably rage quit over 9000 times. i dont suck, i've beaten all the sonics and most of the new (unfortunately never got my hands on any of the adventures) and i do NOT want to fight super nega sonic and solarus again in the same game with the same difficulty (lack of difficulty for solaris)

  • clunkcy? you mean more like what sonic is SUPPOSED TO BE.
