General Gaming / RE:Sonic DX announced for PC
« on: October 26, 2003, 10:21:42 AM »
I have to admint, I'm disappointed by SonicDX. I got so annoyed by the controls, I felt like throwing it out of the Window.
Several years back when a Sonic demo in 3D was tried out on PC, I thought it would be hard to control seeing as he's so fast and cool.
And it's just been proved how right I was in this game.
I prefer playing the Sonic character to Mario, but I had a much better gaming experience with Super Mario Sunshine.
Why can't it be as easy to control characters and cameras as with Super Mario sunshine?
A one point running with Sonic , you felt as you were ducking, so I'm effectively staring at the ground when running. I cant make out what's ahead of me.
I constantly found myself LOST wondering what I should be doing? In SuperMario, I was gently guided by other characters, without giving the whole game away. It's a great environment to explore. I could not get immersed into the sonic environemt, particularly when it appeared you were harshly treated for failure and rewarded for success was small?
The Sonic world has graphics which can both be really good and really bad! Some of the walls are pretty shoddy in hotels and hill, streets.
Sorry folks, I want a really good Sonic game cos I'm a fan. Maybe Sega should get Nintendo to do a Sonic game, much like what Nintendo did when asking Sega to make F-Zero GX.
I think many kids would lose patience after a couple of hours and end up scurrying to the internet to find the walkthrough. What is the point in that?
Music is great tho, I cant even remember if it changes depending on where and what the character is doing (atmosphere).
Fraid this game gets exchanged for something else. :-(
I don't get off in sending criticism like this, but it is a sure reflection of my frustration. Especially since the first GC game I played - SuperMario Sunshine and was pleasantly surprised at how good it's environment was to navigate, view, and "experiment" with.
One more thing - When it frequently says "Loading....." and "Saving..." that is UNFORGIVABLE in this day and age.
