Zero Punctuation: Sonic Unleashed

[MasterOfHisOwnDomain]

I thought this was one of the best reviews for a while actually. Good job.

Sonic has been used too much, as a franchise it is now a stagnant pool of water.

i agree sonic died after it went 3-d

 

[WarlockD]

God, I know he played the Xbox 360 version. I played the Wii version at the store and the control schema is AWFUL. God, and it pisses me off that it seemed to have the BEST intro FMV of all sonic games too, well till he turned into a damn wherehog. Meh.

 

[Washboard]

heh, couldent have been more right imo, the sonic milk cow is now giving out something akin to cheese fondu

 

[Dramus]

You know, I think it's interesting that he used the Wii box art in his review. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure the Wii version didn't have the stupid hub world that the 360/PS3 version did, and instead had a simple and traditional menu. If this is the case then Yahtzee's complaints about the hub world show that he did not play the Wii version but rather the HD one.

I just hate it when game developers squeeze more than should be morally possible out of a franchise.

 

[subhuman]

undrdog i played this game and i totally agree with yahtzee not because he said so

 

[Archedgar]

That was one of the best yahtzee video Yahtzee has made in awhile.

I have no complaints(for once), that was pure excellence.

 

[Chupathingy_v1legacy]

That was absolutely hilarious! I can't believe how crappy sonic games got after they finished with 2D.

ZP, FTW

I happene to be a huge Sonic the Hedgehog fan, yet I agree with everything he just said.

BTW, how long until Yahtzee reviews Mother 3?

Forever?

Har har. It was just a thought. I don't know, seeing as he liked EarthBoudn, I thought he might want to review its sequel, Mother 3.

Sonic Games make my my small cousins shut the fuck up when they come ove so thats one thing it mite have going for it.
Also there was a spin off game that a lot of people dont know about that is just entirely about Shadow, (possibbly the only good character in the whole series)which actually plays quite well considering it is a Sonic Spin Off. They should axe sonic and just make games about Shadow if at all.

 

[CulexVanda]

He is right about night level, but I played the wii version that does not have the city and replace it with bubbles and the HUD for the missions are super simple

 

[Jaythulhu]

I'm just wondering what he's going to review next. It's not like there's been anything worth noting released since fallout 3. Or have I missed some console only jackoff stuff?

 

[honeymonster]

Played this game yesterday if anything this review is a understatement to its all round awefull lameness , if that is indeed a word if not ....it should be.

 

[Abedeus]

I say it's new Prince of Persia. I mean, come on... Good, but a bit easy game.

So are you saying that you like this game?

If you do, that's fine.

 

[cyrad]

I thought it was rather entertaining and believe it had good points outlining Sonic's career. What I found interesting about this review is that Yahtzee thought the WereHog portions were the best part of the game whereas every other game critic felt the WereHog levels were the worst part of the game.

Yeah, Shadow the Hedgehog had GREAT ideas like...

Guns that CAN NOT aim.
Vehicles SLOWER than he runs.
A voice cast that makes one envy those who can't understand English.
A plot so laughibly bad it makes the original Sonic plot (when it was about animals stuck in robots) look like Shakespeare.
A good/evil spectrum that's more about SLOWING you down to item hunt than maybe RUNNING.
And an overall failure at trying to be both edgy and child-friendly, which the orignal series invented.

Shadow's the "evil twin" cliche the Dreamcast-era Sonic Team invented because they forgot/didn't know of Knuckles, the original rival to Sonic from his obvious red coloring to his gliding/punching. Anyone who actually liked Shadow's game is too young to remember ACTUAL good times.
