Tbh the only enjoyable levels of SA2 were the Sonic and Shadow levels. The rest wasn't really fun to me. Same with SA1. I only really enjoyed the Sonic levels, however I think the presentation of SA1 is why people like it over SA2.

^ truth. Tails/Robotnik levels were boring and the Knuckles/Rogue levels were just flat out annoying.

**Elcura** · 2011-05-13 04:17

Sonic and Shadow levels were the only things I liked about SA2, that and the Biolizard boss fight (and music).

Goddamn that fucking ghost fight in SA2. call me retarded, but it took me forever to understand what the fuck they wanted me to do in that fight

Ever try getting A-rank on Hard Mode(mission 5) Emerald levels? You thought they were annoying at first, its even better when you have to climb to the top of the colony entrance, then go ALL the way down into the elevator/lava shaft. Damn, wish SA2 was on Live/PSN.

Hope they get Super Sonic a bit right this time and bring back Super Sonic during normal levels.

Sonic 3 & Knuckles basically set the template for all future sonic games from that point in regards to:

final level unlocked only with all chaos emeralds/super sonic only

Sure, it was cheap to transform but man was it fun tearing through zones as Super Sonic.

EDIT:

While we're here, ICE CAP ZONE ACT 1 (and associated theme) BETTER BE IN IT!

Yes to this. Prz.

**Dmitry** · 2011-05-14 07:33

I think I might have to pick this up day 1. Reading this is making me wanna grab the Sonic collection on the DS

**The Stig** · 2011-05-14 07:50

Got home from work with a stable internet, watched the trailers again and interviews. I'm sold as well.

Hiryo: You mean the side scrolling or the new gen Sonic being too fast? The way I see it the faster the better. I've not played many racing games recently but I don't believe F-Zero GX has been topped in terms of speed. I felt a bit of that rush, the same rush I get when playing F-Zero GX when watching new gen Sonic's levels. Note that I rarely get this rush, especially all these people who tell me to play Wipeout and all of its variants, I find it dreadfully dull.

Screw casuals, this time around, it shouldn't be for them. Casuals cannot beat F-Zero GX at Hard or above difficulty

On a side note, the old gen Sonic level looked a tiny bit weird, everything's all big! But yet interesting, especially the backgrounds. I cannot wait to see what or how they do to Casino Night/Carnival Night zone, if it's even in it. As well as Scrap Brain and Death Egg (S3 version).

Yeah dude. I eventually got all A-ranks on my GC file and the Rogue/Knuckles stages were the absolute worst ones for it.

To above posts: I actually think Sonic 3 and Knuckles was the best in the franchise. Mostly because of Super/Hyper Sonic/Tails/Knuckles and being able to save. I had a save file for each character solo and Sonic/Tails team. lol

I loved Sonic 3 + Knuckles, although I wish I could play Sonic CD again since I'd like to compare them both. Since it's tough for me to decide which one of those 2 I liked the most.

**Ayn** · 2011-05-14 15:11

Sonic CD definitely had an awesome soundtrack.

As for new Sonic. I dunno.. I only played a bit of SA/SA2 (I liked what bit of SA1 I played), but the rest looked so absurd I passed.

Oh well. 2 Sonics, one cu--I'll stop now.

**Hiryo** · 2011-05-14 23:47

i did mean new sonic, but yeah, casuals be damned this year. I'm so excited for this. I hope they try their best to put as many levels as possible that they can. May as well rip ever single one of them right out of sonic 1-3. Sonic Colors (according to gamefaqs) had 7 Worlds, each with 7 acts. Then some bonus acts here and there. Sounds like enough content if they do have trouble offering more.

good man

**Raen Ryong** · 2011-05-15 01:27

I liked the Knux/Rogue A Ranks on the whole. Just remembering a few patterns... the Sonic/Shadow ones are more trial and error. Tails/Robotnik just learning which bits to get your point dumps on.

Fun but random fact: in the original DC version, you didn't need all A Rank in Cannon's Core for all emblems. I got 180 in both games, I enjoyed it that much!

good man

In the interview they stated they had a poll ... ! That sounds slightly worrying.

If they throw in zones like:

Hill Top (S2)
Marble Zone (S1)
Labyrinth (S1) (Actually this might be more of the interesting ones, there was no real true underwater level since S1)

I'll rage. I'm at the "all or nothing" side at the moment.

Depending the story, the Silver Sonic (S2) and Metal Sonic (S3) boss fights also need to be epic to win me over. It was such a tease in SA1 when they rendered them both in 3D (which looked kickass) but they were only for show

**Lucavi** · 2011-05-20 21:03

Gotta admit, it looks good.

**Akiyama** · 2011-05-20 21:16

Just give it time. It'll blow soon enough.

**Scythiroth** · 2011-05-20 22:30

*sigh* This does look good, but I'm sure they will find ways to ruin it for everyone here soon enough.

**Raen Ryong** · 2011-05-21 17:29

2d sonic: they mentioned Sonic 2 era because it has spin dash but they didn't mention Insta-Shield (Sonic3) or lack thereof?! I love that thing

Does look good though. Could it be they won't mess it up?!
