The question of the week or whatever went like this:

"Since the suck has been injected into sonic (*fat lady grins at the camera while craig offscreen shouts "nice!"), should sonic just die?"

That was their question of the week for this game. The writer of that question won a copy of some new pokemon game, and craig mentioned "you know you're gonna win a prize when you mention the suck in your question!"

How about when they said that, at worst, the 2D sections were terrible, and at best, "they're like, 'oh this isn't so awful but it's bad."

they're describing the 2D sections here, folks. The Sonic 2D sections. They also said they control worse than Sonic 360 (they said that several times, actually).

I really should have known better than to expect any sort of respectable Sonic feature on ScrewAttack. They gave a "Top 5 Best and Worst" feature for Sonic instead of separate "Top 10 Best" and "Top 10 Worst" features like they did with Mario, and the selection blew of course. They don't hesitate to bash Sega and Sonic on their awful Hard News feature. And even High School Ben doesn't seem to know what he's talking about anymore (Sorry, Captain S fans).

Quite frankly, ScrewAttack has become the gaming equivalent of Fox News. They even have their own Bill O'Reilly.

This game is great, and SEGA should be proud of doing some good. I think these reviewers are just so attached to Sonic 06 that they can not grasp that the new Sonic game does not "suck".

[Quexinos]

Holy cow, fuck these guys. Really. I mean yeah I only have the PS2 version but I can control Sonic just fine thank you. Yeah it's a little slippery, but that's what side step and dash are for. My god, how uninformed can you be? We gotta write letters to Sega or something, let them know they did good. I'm really getting pissed at these bias reviewers . Get your heads out of your asses and review the game honestly.

[GHNeko]

Shit like this is what causes Sega to not follow suit when they do something good.

Now. All we have to wait is for them to praise Black Knight and watch another storybook game to come out and for Unleashed to never get a sequal.

[Quexinos]

Oh it'll get a sequel. ... maybe not a sequel but they're gonna use that hedgehog engine again. This is bloody unacceptable.

[corneliab]

...this is completely bogus.

The gaming "media" has absolutely zero credibility, if so many complete idiots can affiliate themselves with it, and as "professionals" nonetheless.

I stopped watching right around the 5 minute mark where they were all "WHAT THE FUCK, THERE ARE CUTSCENES IN THIS GAME. TERRIBLE. THIS IS JUST LIKE SONIC 06".

[Quexinos]

Wait what? They honestly expect no cutscenes? What the fuck?

Funny you said this, because their entire review of the controls went something like this:

"Ugh, these controls suck. I have no control over sonic, he just slides around everywhere. It's worse than in sonic 360 [sic]"
"Yeah, they look pretty bad."
"but you see, when you run, you can move left and right with the triggers to side step. Oh yeah, real smart. Because the analog stick wasn't good enough. This just seems confusing."
"sounds confusing."
"So yeah, the controls are worse than Sonic 360."

and thats it. They bash the controls, and then when they get presented with something that directly addresses their complaint, they write it off with a "pfffffffffffft thats stupid" comment. I'm sorry, you don't get to simultaneously write off half of the controls, then bash the parts those controls you ignored were addressing.

[Overlord]

Dear christ, I hope the backlash on Black Knight is so bad they realise wtf they were smoking when they were complaining about Unleashed.

[Quexinos]

Guys when I press R1 Sonic dashes to the right and when I press L1 Sonic dashes to the left. IT'S SO CONFUSING!

[Cooljerk]

I like how the "die-hard biggest sonic fanboy on the earth" thinks he was born the first year sonic game out. Ignoring that he claimed he was 4 when Sonic 2 was released (meaning, seriously, this guy has no fucking grasp of anything sonic), you'd expect the "die-hard biggest sonic fanboy on earth" would know sonic 1's release date by heart.

I mean, we all do, right? And we're not die-hard biggest sonic fanboys on earth, right?

[Quexinos]

DO these guys have a feedback page? I wanna give it to them.
