Ffffffffffff...aster! Got to go faster!
I'd prefer Sonic games more like SatAM than ..adventure time?
That would be cool.
Also..never really liked timers in games, but in Sonic I can understand them..still don't like them though.

Interesting that Yahtzee didn't comment on the game being bundled with Denuvo on PC, arguably the absolute WORST of DRM.
Some Virus Scanners already recognize it as the malware that it is and automatically remove it, making the game not being able to run as the required DRM is removed.
Secondly, Denuvo calls home so often that it frequently interferes with the game, making it run a LOT worse.

Since this is another Sonic game can Yahtzee please play something else that isn't painfully stupid?
....
I swear any of you who watch Yahtzee play a Sonic game are just encouraging the Sonic Fanatics.

yeah that time limit is annoying, especially in Starlight Speedway Zone (which has an homage to a Game Gear boss in it so even the portable games from the 90's can get some representation.) It's weird how they give you the option to enable the freaking DEBUG mode from the menu but not the ability to turn off the time limit, a feature that several of the other recent games had...oh right, the RECENT games had that feature. Guess you shouldn't just discard EVERYTHING from after 1998 huh?
I'm trying to play the review and I'm getting a 45 second ad over and over featuring all the people Escapist has fired over the years. How depressing.
I think the time thing was just because SEGA were used to designing for arcades, where time limits were there to stop one player hogging a machine for ages while not doing much (and therefore not putting more cash in)
Quite a few jokes involving sea mammals here.
And OMG, the drowning-in-the-ruins levels. Only thing worse was the drowning-in-the-oil-refinery-type levels, and that goddamn countdown timer.

Well, at least now the Nintendo uber-fans can be comforted by the fact he doesn't just rag on Nintendo games.
Yeah WTF was with the stupid countdown timer? I know the idea of the game was going fast, but some of the level designs in the classic games weren't very intuitive and it was easy to get stuck. Esp. the water levels.
Still waiting for the episode on Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. I'd love to hear his thoughts on that game.
