Fuck it beats Mario Kart Wii in terms of original levels and music and character roster.

We're talking about Sonic & Sega All Stars Racing, the game that has 3 Seaside Hills, 3 Casino Parks, 3 Final Fortresses... originality in levels, no. The music thing is ok though, but still the levels recycle the playlist. And the characters... I suppose they're good. But seriously, who on earth in this day and age is going to care if the Bonanza Bros. are in? Don't get me wrong, they look great, but they're only going to appeal to older fans. Of course this is coming from a guy begging for Ristar and Sonic R characters as DLC.

One thing that has been bothering me about this, is that they seemed to have totally forgotten about the Hornet from Daytona USA, which is actually a racing game, not to mention an AM2 game like Virtua Fighter. This would have definitely appealed more, seeing that the series has was extremely popular during Genesis/Saturn era.

Yeah, even if the VGChartz numbers are highly inaccurate (I said they were unofficial,) I've seen enough copies not flying off the shelves locally at retailers this week to know the numbers are at least close.

How does that represent the universal sales of the game?

Just because it hasn't sold a lot of copies locally doesn't mean it hasn't sold well in other countries or cities.

He's a roming reporter, scouring the country for raw sales data from stores.

I'm not quite sure why they didn't have the hornet. I remember they mentioned something about it but it's a damn shame that they didn't because the hornet would have been my favorite character instantly.

They wanted to focus on characters who aren't normally in racing games.

And they did. But they could have thrown the hornet in there for shits and gigs too.

Actually I forgot to mention. Did anyone read the Bios for the characters in this game? Now we all know that Sonic likes Chili Dogs again as that's been re-added to the canon but also they mentioned how Tails likes Mint Candy and how Knuckles likes fruit, especially grapes.

Hooray for resurrecting the long lost facts from the US Sonic 3 manual and Sonic Jam Bios :D

Oh and Amy likes Ice Cream, but unless that's from the Sonic CD manual I think they pulled that one out of their ass

EDIT: I need assistance! I have one achievement that I simply can't get myself. Anyone want to play this game over Xbox live (None of my friends on Xbox live have this game D: )

chili dogs have been official since sonic and the black knight.

[GeneHF]

Sonic Unleashed, actually... but that's because smart people learned not to buy that trainwreck that was Black Knight.

[K2J]

Sonic Advance 3's instruction manual. Assuming we're taking that as part of the "canon".

[Shakidna]

I haven't bought a sonic game since sonic rush. I just watched the opening movie of black knight.

Correction, idiots didn't try Black Knight at all because they think like you. Black Knight was actually the best 3D Sonic game to have come out post SA2. Of course you wouldn't know that because you haven't played it, just like everyone else who freaked out about "OMG BAD CONTROLS AND CAMERA!!!1" only because all they did was WATCH someone play BADLY. I thought Unleashed sucked, by the way.

reviews and common sense say that Black Knight was balls. I dare not try Sonic with a sword.

Stopped reading there. I would immediately just call out "troll post" but it seems you're actually serious!

So I'm just going to sit here laughing my ass off.

[Afti]

You're acting like SA2 was some gold standard...

SA2 was shit, nearly as bad as Sonic '06. Only things it had going for it were Pyramid Cave and Crazy Gadget, and two levels don't make a game worth playing.

Fuck, I'd rather play Heroes; at least there's no bad third-person shooter levels or annoying treasure hunts.

The only decent 3D Sonic games are Adventure 1 and Unleashed. SA2/Heroes/Shadow/SatSR/'06/SatBK all suck ass.

Upload a video of yourself playing through Black Knight from beginning to end, as best as you can, and see how many people think it looks good then.

Guys, I have a wonderful idea. How about we break the mold and not turn this in to a "Boo modern 3D sonic sucks" thread!
