The Sonic Generations Review Topic

[Sami]

Get the eggs and toilet paper, guys. We're going to Norway.

[Drunk Michael Myers]

Is that Norwegian review SERIOUSLY saying the Classic Sonic stages are exactly the same as Sonic 4's?

Where's my ohwow.jpg?

Oh I can totally see huge Rage in TSS comments section if Shadz makes artcile about it. I mean if 8.5/10 caused so much rage I can only imagine what will happen if community see this.

[Dreadknux]

Might be the translation, but they say they enjoy Classic just as much as in S4.

Hardly the point. The man is clearly blind.

[CrownSlayers Shadow]

If that didn't reek of Classic fanboyism and shitty research, I don't know what does. Even says a lot when one of the comments says the same (okay, I'm just being picky here).

I'd say this is the Jim Sterling for Generations, but I'm starting to question if Jim would even mean any of that considering he knows he trolls.

Pathetic.

[Blue Blood]

What on Earth? Are they serious? That's a terrible score, much lower than deserved for sure. I can't read the full thing right now though. The score also brings the average down to 79%.

[Detective Shadzter]

I'm going to see if I can do a review round-up when I finish work tonight. Nearly all sites should have their reviews up by then. The comments section is bound to be another disaster

I completely disagree that Classic Sonic in this game is on par with Sonic 4: Episode 1.

[HUNTER297]

So guys. Who's going to Norway?

[CrownSlayers Shadow]

And so the rage begins. After Destructoids review on Colors, I think I already see where this is going for Generations.

Then again, considering this is the only low review so far, things might go the other direction.

[Your Vest Friend]

Wow, what will that bring the Metacritic score down to?

[Dark Qiviut]

If the comments here are what I believe GameReactor's review is, I can sense Dissident or someone else here will be writing a review of the GR review VERY soon.

I was just about to post the Videogamer.com review Ferr, thanks!

(That's the other review that was written by me)

[CrownSlayers Shadow]

Is GameReactor Norway counted in the ratings or no?

[Komodin]

Gamereactor norway gave it 4/10.

Tch, figures. There's always at least one review that messes everything up.

At any rate, I seem to be unable to view the site properly, getting nothing but white space. Can someone please do me a solid and summarize it?

[Marcello]

On Jim Sterling "insulting" the fanbase: I'm pretty sure he wasn't serious. Stop taking everything so butthurt.

Crisis City is a GREAT level...it just wasn't executed well in 06, now it has in Generations. WHY DOESN'T ANYONE UNDERSTAND THAT?!!

It was a boring level. I don't see what makes it so great.

[PeanutButterDimond]

No sense of speed or control? Wow that demo I played must have been for a differn't game and all the other people who played must have been lying then. Thank you, GameReactor Norway for telling us the truth.

Desperately? Wow there goes that demo and players lying again with those tighter controls.

Yes, the blunder of Sonic Unleashed. Because the two Sonics obviously collide as much as Modern Sonic and the Werehog.

Wow nice way to be an asshole and treat your opinion as the opnly one. From what I can tell you didn't even take Modern Sonic seriously. Hell, from what I've read, I doubt you've even played the demo. Classy, Mr. Reviewer, classy.

If I seem extremely negative in this review have NOK lot to do with me in general is negative for all the bad games, Sonic Generations certainly appears to be.

Om hele spillet på en eller annen måte har klart å lure meg til å være kritisk og egentlig er ganske gøy tidtrøyte, har det i så fall gjort en svært ettertrykkelig jobb med dette, og det er da noe.

About the whole game somehow managed to trick me to be critical and is actually quite fun pastime, it has in this case made a very emphatic job with this and it's something.

Som nevnt er det heller ingenting galt med 2D-bitene av spillet, tvert imot, annet enn at vi kunne fått den samme underholdningsverdien fra Sonic 4 på Xbox Live Arcade til betraktelig færre gullmynter.

As mentioned, there is nothing wrong with 2D pieces of the game, on the contrary, other than that we could get the same enjoyment from Sonic 4 on Xbox Live Arcade to significantly fewer gold coins.

"Appears to be"? Well, goddamn if I never knew of this game I would be confused. Is it good, is it bad? You're the reviewer so tell me! So, in conclusion, 2D Sonic rocks, 3D Sonic in an abomination?

Sounds professional to me.

In all seriousness, this is a really unprofession, elitiest sounding review that fails to be informitave and sounds extremely biased. And yes, I know it's roughly translated, buit still, this guy is acting like an asshole who needs to get off his high horse.

I've got a simple Excel sheet going if you want. I've got all the reviews so far on there already, ordered with the score, link to the publication and an average.

That'd be great, thanks I don't know how I'd put it onto WordPress, but I'm sure bmn will be able to help me out.

[Dreadknux]

It's probably a good idea to have someone who speaks the language clear up the Norwegian review rather than rely on Google Translate. That always leads to bad times.

The german writer at Gamereactor seems to enjoy the game more than his norwagian(is the spelling right? haha) counterpart.
