Videos of these guys who were crazy enough to torture themselves by playing through Sonic 2006 in one weekend. So funny.

that game is probably only 6 hours long if it wasn't for all the load times.

They did the math. They played for about 20 hours (this includes all the times they died, and got game over and such) the load times took up about 2 hours. About a tenth of the game is LOAD TIME.

[kirbykiller4]

it took them 18 hours to beat that game? losers.

[latimer-kun]

i think i did that once and part of me died inside, and came back once i got round to sonics story

I cant wait til sega runs out of money.

I rented Sonic Unleashed (Wii version) today.

I don't know how to feel about it.. The daytime stages are a perfect 10 for me, but the nighttime stages.. They're terrible. Terrible controls, terrible gameplay, and they take twice as long to play as the daytime stages. Oh, and they outnumber daytime stages 3 to 1. How nice.

At the end of each stage, I sincerely hoped it would be daytime again, so I could have more fun, and then they say "lol no wai moar gimmick" The attack buttons on nighttime stages are set to the shoulder buttons. I only really played with the Gamecube controller, but since you have to click the button all the way in for it to respond, and you have to kill SO MANY ENEMIES, my fingers were exhausted by the end of the first nighttime stage. Then I had 2 more to do. Wonderful.

And the opening cutscene, which you have to watch to understand the story, plays before the title screen. I normally skip pre-title cutscenes, because they're normally just gameplay, so when I started my game, I had no clue what was going on. (Super Paper Mario did the same thing. It's retarded and annoying)

Oh, and Sonic's new partner Chip, DON'T GET ME STARTED ON CHIP. He's so fucking annoying, I just want to strangle the little bastard. He's got the most cliche backstory in the history of video games (amnesia) and he's got such an irritating personality. And he's more annoying than Navi in action stages, because at least you can ignore Navi's advice. ("Hey, you can jump over that pit if you get a running start!" "Wait, wasn't there a tutorial on running jumps? Why is the game telling me again?")

On the plus side, Tails doesn't sound like a 6 year old girl anymore.

I still can't figure out if I like the game or dislike it. All I know is that I'm glad I didn't actually buy it. Maybe if I hustle, I can beat the game in the 5 days I rented it for.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

And why did you get the wii version?It looks like shit.

[Dark Hamsterlord]

Rental store didn't have the 360 version, so I got the Wii version instead.

Might rent the 360 one when I return the Wii one, to see if it's any better.

[kirbykiller4]

God dammit,i can't get over how pissed off i am at sega,i remember first seeing that teaser trailer for unleashed back in the spring,i was so glad that sega finnaly realised what we wanted,then they showed the were hog,that seemed like such a stupid fucking move on their part.

I just can't stop thinking "why sega?Who was the guy who thought of this idea?Who listened to his idea? Did anyone try to stop the idea from being put in the game?

Since i can't rent this game (my dad thinks credit cards are evil) i'll wait until its 20 bucks,because i would only pay full price for that game if it had 15 hours worth of the gameplay they promised us.

[latimer-kun]

meh, its all looking good to me, normal stages actually look fast, werehogs looking like a hack and slash phase so im good at those and the rose is pivital to the story, gentlemen this game is mine

[Dark Hamsterlord]

I suppose I was a bit harsh on the werehog stages. I played some more today and it was a bit more fun. It has platforming, which is a redeeming quality, because I love platformers. In fact, the only things I really dislike about the werehog segments are the terrible controls and the sheer number of them (really, you have to do THREE in a row! Why don't they have them singular, like the Sonic stages, or increase the number of Sonic stages?)

[Matt-Sama]

The normal day stages are great, werehog stages suck, theyre long there are so many fuckign enemies and it takes ages to kill them and the hit detection is way off, it fails.

[latimer-kun]

we still need a verdict from someone who doesnt have anything to say about the game, i havent got the thing yet

[Matt-Sama]

But remember you're a sonic fanboy so even though it could be shit you wouldnt admit it and just take a big breath and just say its good. If it was just the day time levels and only £20, then it would be worth getting.

[latimer-kun]

well i have it now and i say its actually pretty good, i will admit that the werehog levels do seem a litle bland but the normal sonic levels are where its at, i'll review this soon

[thebluejester]

Unleashed will probably still be better the the Black Knight though.

[latimer-kun]

only time will tell but if it has swords and the rose then im going to have to be strapped down for my own good
