It builds intrigue and tension – to some extent – for the endgames. While Mario went into ever more bizarre tangents unburdened by narrative concept, Sonic set to make itself something different, something epic, and I think looking back on the stories on the whole, it succeeds in that.
Mark: Really? See I think it’s the last Sonic game with any real heart or enthusiasm, and it should be applauded for the story. Aside from the Sonic and Shadow stages the gameplay is clunky, the controls are wonky, the presentation is often pretty awful and it lacks some of the heart of the original Sonic games. Story aside – as no one plays a Sonic game for the story – it’s just not a good game.
But I remember returning to it a couple of years ago and just feeling a terrible sense of disappointment. On the one hand, I know this game like the back of my hand and was almost obsessed with it when I was younger. Court is in session.Įve: I feel curious about this one.
This month it’s the turn of Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2 with Mark on the defence and Eve providing the prosecution. In this monthly series, games editor Eve and her friend Mark debate the merits and flaws of different games. You know those games that are completely divisive? Let’s debate them and see whether they’re actually that bad or not.
