I was pretty excited about this, and this is the first I'm hearing about...pretty much anything about it since it's release. I guess it really was that forgettable. This is a pretty good LP.

It all seems so...strange. The game is such a mess. At least Mass Effect 3 had fun and functional gameplay, and even Dragon Age 2 had tighter gameplay then this. Of course, I've never actually played this game, but what I'm seeing isn't pretty. And to be fair, DA2 was poo poo enough and this is just mediocre enough for the Sonic license alone to elevate Dark Brotherhood above it.

Unless it gets worse, that is. If they start re-using zones, then :shepicide:

The only major dip in quality is the difficulty curve shits itself towards the end of the game, but other than that, mediocrity all around.

Well, that's a relief. I'd probably get it, then, if I still had a DS.

...I'm a big Sonic fan. :(

And she uses a cute cartoon hammer! Domestic abuse is apparently okay as long as it's done Looney Tunes style.

Sonic 3D Blast was an awesome game, with awesome music. Actually, most Sonic games had stellar soundtracks.

...Except this one.

I'm going to have to contest the idea that Sonic 3D Blast is an "awesome game". It has a great soundtrack, to be sure, but it's pretty mediocre.

I liked it a lot when I was really young. I actually plan on getting (the?) Sonic Mega Collection and look forward to seeing if my memory is accurate(as well as playing the other games in that pack). It still looks fun when I see videos of it, though yeah, it's not as fast as any of the other's at the time and I can understand that complaint.

Sonic X and Archie's Sonic both went out of their way to explain this, with Sonic and co. coming from an alternate dimension in the anime and Mobius being post-apocalyptic Earth after alien "gene bombs" created the Chaos Emeralds and mutated the wildlife in the comics.

I'm sure there are more, but I'm not going to try any harder than that obvious surface level.

Tails=Bulma, perhaps? And Amy is similar to the Dragon Ball version of ChiChi.

I think we can just sweep Silver under the rug and be better off for it.

I don't know about that. I grew up reading lots and lots of fan comics and fanfiction, so the extra characters always felt less bad to me. I'll be kind of disappointed if Shadow and Silver don't ever appear again.

Well there's your problem.

I know. I have pretty bad taste, but I guess I'm the audience they were going for with all the extra characters.
