Sonic Free Riders Rant.

Well let's face it; Sonic nowadays is looking up, His games look great, they look promising, and they shine a new light of better games for the Blue Hedgehog we know and love.

So when I heard of a new Sonic Riders game, I was excited. I played the first two to death ( beating all the missions S rank'd on both) before so I saw no problem getting a third Riders game...until I found out the truth



Alright; now don't get me wrong, I've been a fan of the series since I was young; I've been through some harsh cases of the series ( 06', SHtH, etc.). But of all things, Why Motion Control?

We've all seen Motion Control in the past, it usually has been clunky, (Eyetoy) unresponsive (Eyetoy!), and down right pointless to use(EYETOY!)...Of course that changed with the Nintendo Wii. :D

So yea I think you got a good idea of what I am whining about: Motion Control. I don't think the whole idea of acting like a moron just to beat the game is something I would want to do, I want to play a game, if I wanted to swivel around thinking "zomg awesome" I would just do that, not play a game.

Now don't assume I am hating Sonic Riders 3, I love the idea, it's just I don't want to shell out another *insert price here* just to flail my arms around; and it's not just "Baw Motion Controls" think about it: How will 4 players play together on one screen like that? surely someone will get injured in the process.

So bottom line (TL;DR)

1. Motion Controls, Do not want

2. Contrary to #1, It's not just hating it, The impossibility of 4 flailing people on screen will probably make multiplayer slightly harder to actually play...

3. I will admit, Seeing Metal Sonic is awesome. just a shame however that I have to pass the chance because Sega want's to use a gimmick control scheme and not give other players a alternative control scheme...

Oh, then again, SFR is not even released to begin with so me ranting is all for naught in the end. :facepalm:

Sonic Adventure 1 Review

Well, I've skipped out on the review so here it is; My review of Sonic Adventure 1 :D

So what can I say? This game was awesome and still is, the multiple playable characters and gameplay types are interesting, The music is awesome, and the plot is interesting; It also brought about the new design of Sonic and other characters, as well as an official voice for Sonic, (Sorry Sonic CD, your suicide easter egg doesn't count) this was a big game. So let's get started.

The plot opens to Sonic returning to Station Square to confront a new threat, Chaos, a water creature who has stretchy arms and continues getting stronger with every chaos emerald it gets, and with Eggman using it and feeding it the emeralds, Sonic and friends are off to save the day.

The gameplay of this game is separated to six characters with different view points of the events happening throughout the game. Sonic being the first character you play as, you can unlock the other characters Tails, Knuckles,Amy, E-102y, and Big the Cat. Sonic's,Tails,Amy's,and E-102y Gameplay is about getting to the end of the level though are slightly different from the initial idea that is Sonic's gameplay, while Knuckles is about getting the 3 shards of the M.E., and Big's is about fishing.

The graphics of this game were decent for it's time, the games multiple levels and hub worlds show that quite well, the cinematics also show off the graphics quite decently.

I haven't even started about the Music, man...the music is a good listen if you enjoy sonic tunes in other games. Just listen to cool tunes like "Open Your Heart" or "It Doesn't Matter" and you'll see what I mean. :D ( though I quite like Big's theme myself :3)

While this game is good, there are some flaws to it. The camera can sometimes be unwieldy during gameplay, and some characters gameplay*coughbig'sgameplaycough* can be quite tough due to the way it's implemented. I don't recall other issues unfortunately, but the games quite good either way.

In conclusion, this game is amazing; I recommend this game to Sonic fans who want a another cool Sonic game in their collection. :D

1 Year Anniversary! *A whole year of =SB=*

Well guys, this is it, It's been a full year since I've joined here at Sonic Blast. It's been one awesome year here and I've come to love it here.

I don't know what else to say, I remember the good ol days when I was just starting out, getting to know the other members and such. I remember the "L-Team" as well and still have the badge to this day :D gooood times...

I wish there was more things to say; I do know that this place has a great community of Artists, RP-ers, Fan Character makers, and etc.; And I've come to find that in just a year many things have happened, like the Shack gaining idk, 2000-3000 posts a month? That's an amazing amount of activity for one topic :)

I don't know what could be left to say other than I'm glad I made an account here. I look forward to the future of =SB= and the events that could happen here. :D

Rant #1: I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

OK! I HAD IT WITH ALL OF THIS! :DIE:

I heard about Sonic 4 and I was really happy until I saw the second trailer, look at the teaser and tell me what you see

Yea you see it, it's Classic Sonic in the classic emblem, and we all were excited about it until we saw this ABOMINATION!

Posted Image

Yea. that's right. GREEN EYED, MODERN SONIC is in Sonic 4!! UNBELIEVABLE :crazy:

How can Ken Balough call this "Sonic 4 as you imagined it" when THAT BLASPHEMOUS HEDGEHOG is in it! I've been a fan since I was 4 and this is crushing my Childhood memories of playing the first 3 games; and then there are those physics for Sonic, HE MOVES TO FAST AND HIS SPIN DASH IS TOO SLOW!!!

You might as well call this Sonic Rush 3: The game that attempts to stop Dimps urges to place boosters everywhere! I mean COME ON! Boosters are EVERYWHERE in Splash hill zone! and that stupid Homing Attack is stupid! Forget what I said back then with my stupid ideas of Sonic growing up and my theory and evidence of having those hideous eyes since Sonic 1!

All this stupidity coming from Sega is ridiculous! I expect all of you to follow me on this crusade to destroy the heretics and set things right for future generations! :cool:

For the sad, sad, soul who doesn't figure it out, this is "Satire" and it is funny.
