You can't rely on Metacritic.

It's like Gamespot -- Users write reviews on the games. It's either extreme fanboy bias, or extreme hater flamebait.

it takes reviews from sites though too.

Eh evryone can have their opion on the game I don't care I'm not gonna try to get in any arguments. I like the game Sonic or no Sonic. The graphics are amazing, I like the gameplay, the battle mode is fun, it has a good story, a nice twist ending, and a cool medievil twist on the Super Sonic stage. You see I try to look at the bright side of a game and try not to nitpick on the bad parts. If I'm constntly complaing about the bad and overlooking the good I can't enjoy the game. But hey evryone has there opion.

Besides the older gamegear game things (Like Sonic Labrynth), I've liked the gameplay in pretty much every Sonic game so far. I loved Shadow's game (Although there were too many separate paths imo), the Werehog levels are fun (Although I'll admit there aren't enough daytime levels), and I can see Black Knight being fun. The only new-gen sonic game I did not enjoy at all was Sonic Chronicles, but that's probably because the only RPG I enjoy is Fire Emblem.

I like this guy!

His glass is half full!

No, because I didn't buy it because it is an RPG.

yea, it's really difficult to enjoy a game if you don't play it. at least, that's been my observation.

Yeah just the other day I was having a conversation with my freind about Sonic and the Black Night.

Freind: I hate that game!
Me: Have you ever played it?
Freind: No.
Me: Then how can you say it sucks?
Freind: Well um er... Because to use the sword you have to flick the Wii-Mote!
Me: Thats not a problem. It dosen't affect the rythem of the game or stop you from losing consintration.
Freind: Well um er ehhhhhh... *Hangs up phone.*

That proves that you can't say a game is good or bad if you haven't played it. Also I don't like to listen to reviews because whats terrible in someone's eyes could be great in someone elses.

that's a real conversation? lulz. and also, tru dat.

Mega lulz. Anyway the game is awesome. I'm stuck on King Arthur (Your second battle with him) He's tough.

same can be said for the reverse.

Freind: I love that game!
Me: Have you ever played it?
Freind: No.
Me: Then how can you say its good?
Freind: Well um er... Because you fight enemies and sonics in it with a sword, and the videos are so cool.
Me: Thats is a problem. Looks are decieving and the game flow is not only slowed by the change in pace, but made worse through the level design and poor control system.
Freind: Well um er ehhhhhh... *Hangs up phone.*

but your weak link is that everyone on this topic who is praising the game has played it.

which is why you guys don't akcnowledge the fact that the game has elements that utterly fail.

this is also why sega keeps putting out these bad sonic games because they think they are making their fans happy, when in truth the fans are trying to defend them at all cost only to try and prove that not all sonic games are bad.

I hate how some people get all technical about "elements that utterly fail" and crap
It's so stupid! Also what KillerPanda said is absolutely true.

Anwayz I saw a preview of Black Knight in a magazine that made it look like a pretty cool game - I must play more of Unleashed cos ima thinkin of selling it and buying Black Knight.

whats best sonic game of all time:?:
