About The Game:
Sonic the Hedgehog is a video game franchise created and produced by Sega. The franchise centers on a series of speed-based platform games. The protagonist of the series is an anthropomorphic blue hedgehog named Sonic, whose peaceful life is often interrupted by the series' main antagonist, Doctor Eggman. Typically, Sonic-usually along with some of his friends, such as Tails, Amy, and Knuckles-must stop Eggman and foil any plans of world domination. The first game in the series, released in 1991, was conceived by Sega's Sonic Team division after Sega requested a mascot character. The title was a success, it spawned many sequels, and it transformed Sega into a leading video game company during the 16-bit era in the early to mid 1990s.

Sonic Mania: The Sonic Redemption | The Completionist
/ thatonevideogamer
As someone who still has a positive outlook on a ton of the 3D sonic games, the intro was to show that we've been burned a few times.
That One Video Gamer Aw, Jirard, you're such a cool guy. Thanks for always being awesome to your fans. 👊
That One Video Gamer can you guys try and complete knuckles chaotics?
That One Video Gamer, im a sonic hater, but even I can see that sonic mania is AWESOME, best game in years
I don't get it man you didn't really say anything bad. What's peoples problem? It's like you're not entitled to an opinion or something. I for one love this video and all of your content! Keep up the good work!
That One Video Gamer Thanks Jirard For Second There I Thought You Was Turning Into Those Modern Sonic Haters That Act Like There No Good Modern Games Because Of 06 and Boom Rise Of Lyrics and I Give You Respect.
*"Not Ray the Flying Squirrel or Mighty the Armadillo. They're both still dead."*
If only you knew then what has been announced now
A L L A C C O R D I N G T O K E I K A K U .
They are not dead they will appear in sonic mania plus July 19
Yes... that is the point of the comment, Gordo
Homeless not for much longer as Mighty and Ray has returned to Sonic Mania Plus.
YES
THAT IS THE POINT OF THE COMMENT
17:01
Sonic Mania Dev's : "I'LL MAKE YOU EAT THOSE WORDS"
"Oh yeah... THOSE characters exist! Umm... have they been in anything since? No? Then, let's put them in!"
ITS NO USE!! wait, WRONG GAMR
17:00 he has to cut them off too early
@@Davethe3rd - To be fair, there's not a ton of options when it comes to playable classic characters.
I guess they could go for the Chaotix, but come on, we know they wouldn't have generated any buzz, even with Charmy.
If Sonic Mania 2 were announced, I'd pre-order it today.
I'm hoping they will keep making classic style games like mania alongside modern ones, I like the glitchy charm of modern, but still want good gameplay
Dexem they’re not all Glitchy you know
If they did, wonder if they will only use new unfamiliar zones.
Yes
@@dexemthewise60 well there's sonic mania plus
Wait. Hold on.
"According to the manual [...]"
WOW. They really did go old school with this! I'm impressed.
Digital manual
I'm pretty sure it's impossible for someone to get through a mania review without talking about Modern Sonic being shit
Ls mark what a surprise lol
"If you beat Knuckles and Knuckles mode you get an alternate ending" *Looks up sonic mania knuckles and knuckles ending*
Jacob Sawyer is there an actual alternate ending (just answer yes or no, I don't want any knuckles & knuckles spoilers)
Yes
Jacob Sawyer well in 8 days I'm gonna have to test that, sounds fucking amazing. Knuckles & knuckles alternate ending.. I can't even imagine
Jeffskii
Good luck unlocking "& knuckles"
Me it only takes 5 golden medals which I have

@@JSTOentertainment what
_Reads the comments section_ hoo boy. Uhhh...
I like video games.
Agreed. Fandoms (of any kind) are the worst.
in the words of ign "everyone wants to have sex with big the cat"
While we are on the topic of nostalgia, remember a time where you were already considered a gamer when you said "I like video games"? A time where there was no such thing as "casuals" vs. "hardcore players"? A time where people wouldn't shit on each other for liking different games and where a conversation between two gamers pretty much went like: "OMG you play games too? Niiiicceeeee! Wanna come over to my house and have a round of Smash Bros/Street Fighter/Mario Party/ (other popular 90s titles)?"
.........
The 90s ladies and gentlemen.......... what have we done?
I don't think anyone likes Big THAT much. It was a shame that one of the two times he was playable was a "terrible fishing game" as people say. (I haven't played it.) Personally, I think more people would have liked him if he was implemented into the games better.
If I were to rate myself on the scale you described Oxymoron, I would but myself between "casual" and "hardcore," but I really don't like using those terms to describe what type of gamer I am. I am a gamer, plain and simple. I can't even think off a time I would use those terms outside of game difficulty.
17:05
Now they will come as playable characters on Sonic Mania Plus.
What a time to be alive eh?
EHHHHHH
I understand what mania means to old sonic fans like you , but it's weird to see the man who defended Sonic unleashed bash the modern games so much. It's a bit of a mixed message since I know you love Sonic Adventure too.
“It’s been 23 years since the last truly incredible Sonic the Hedgehog game.” Not enough sugar for the Sonic Advance trilogy, eh, Jirard...
ADtheTribalChild Productions Sonic Generations & Sonic Mania are incredible
@@LittleLexi24 I think Sonic colors and Unleashed are very good as well
The first Sonic Advance was the first Sonic game I ever finished all the stages through.
Wait trilogy
When they say "They wanted the game more powerful than the Genesis but not as powerful as the Saturn." They basically mean a Megadrive with a Mega CD and a 32x attached.
NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERD
*because that joke isn't overused*
You mean genesis ;)
@@CornerstoneMinistry316 they're the same thing.
But not Ray the Flying Squirrel or Mighty the Armadillo.. they’re both dead
Not anymore

Best Sonic game ever
Please buy it everyone so that Whitehead can give us more!
Is it downloadable for Xbox?
Yes 👍
Goofy8907 YES, MAYBE THEY CAN MAKE A TRULY REVOLUTIONARY 3D SONIC GAME JUST LIKE MARIOOOOO
Please whitehead make a better modern sonic game than the sega staff
Goofy8907 so good they're now releasing Sonic mania plus!!
Jirard. I just wanna commend you in this time where youtuber after youtuber is becoming more and more disconnected with their audience, treating them like trash and like their support doesn't matter to them anymore and becoming the very things they hated themselves, and whilst i agree they are free to do whatever they want, forgetting the format that attracted fans to them in the first place.
I commend you for despite the massive amount of stress you put yourself through, not shying away from your passion but instead trying even harder to stick with it than anyone ive ever seen. You really don't get enough praise for not turning into a horrible person run by stress youtube and trolls. You really deserve more respect and you certainly have mine. I hope you keep being you till the day you retire.
princeofhalcyon He can't lie that much about modern games.
He needs to grow some thick skin and quit bitching about what the comments are whining about.
Trevor Grover He really needs to play Colors and Generations.
Trevor Grover
Try having thousands of people bitch at you every day about how much you suck and see if it doesn't get to you every now and then
princeofhalcyon he would never betray his audience, he shares a passion in video games like all of us
why are we not calling it "No Chuckles Mode"
TARDISES they said that because the meme "Knuckles don't chuckle"
I know the meme
XD OH GOD
good question
-[HH]-Reaper why hasn't Sega hired you yet
23 years since the last truly incredible Sonic game?
Dude, Sonic Adventure 2 isn't THAT old.

It almost is now ;)
Wonder if anyone remembers sonic andvanced? Those were like the median between sonic classic and modern sonic

I think that people need to consider that the version of Sonic you grew up with is the one you will prefer. We all joined in different eras and love those games.
17:00
Man, the devs really hit the nail on the head with that new DLC, didn't they?
the Completionist: "Not Ray the flying squirtle, or Mighty the armadillo. They are both dead."
Sonic Mania Plus: am I a joke to you?
Oh now I remember why the Sonic fans are so infamous!
linkzellda It's insane, it's like "the cake is a lie" but do much worse...
**Sees comment section**
I guess opinions don't exist
The floor is something that doesn't offend anyone in 2017.
And we're all fucking flying.
Good bye opinions. ):
We hardly new thee.
They do exist, no one is censoring Jirard. He just said some shit that people disagree; I myself included, colors and generations were very good games, sonic rush was also pretty damn good. Just forgetting all of the good post adventure era games due to 06' and the wii spin offs being shit is a garbage opinion.
Exactly, name a great 3D Sonic game after Adventure 2, besides Colors and Generations.
I swear, every self-proclaimed "Sonic fan" with a decent RUclips following all of a sudden wants to hate on Colors and Generations. Flawed and not perfect sure, but don't undermine those games. Colors being so good led to Generations, which has eventually lead to that small boost Sonic needed to even arrive here at Mania and Forces.
“Sonic now has 2 different sprinting animations; fast and ANIME fast”- Jirard The Tailschannelist 2017
24:36 the irony of using donkey kong country 2 bonus stage music in a sonic video...
It's in all of his Completionist videos as of late, as Donkey Kong Country 2 is his favourite game of all time.
Corrin Flakes I actually noticed that after watching more of his videos
not just as of late, but since the beginning
Bitplex dumb question, but I don't get it. The irony is going over my head. B/c they were platforming rivals?
deltabird I forgot, but can't recheck on them now anymore.
Sonic Generations and Colors were good.
I'm hyped for Forces.
José Daniel Cabrera Medina Hope its good.
Tanner Price me too.
True dat. Classic fans got what they wanted. Let's hope we get ours too.
ShoutmonXW Of course.
Everyone can get what they want without any fight.
Unleashed is the best modern sonic game.
But Jirard, you made a Defend It of Sonic Unleashed, what changed?
nik700 dont worry every mania review is like this, its like its mandatory to shit on 3d Sonic in order to make a mania review
He still likes it. It's called exaggerations
KidSnivy96 Yeah, sometimes I forget about the comedy factor
Wait till Johnny's review...
What changed? The same thing that made Alex from a specific video say Ocarina of Time is one of the greatest video games of all time when earlier he said it aged horribly. A little something called trying to fit in.
People really need to learn to LISTEN. So many people who enjoy modern sonic games are getting up in arms over absolutely nothing.
He never said modern sonic sucked, he never said modern sonic was terrible.
What he basically said is that the modern sonics are not very stable, sometimes they are pretty damn good sometimes they are just meh and then other times its more like "WTF IS THIS?!"
He also said something to the extent of "Some of them came close to being as good as the older games" which means he admits that some of the modern sonic games were pretty good. Yeah he still said they aren't as good but he absolutely did not say all modern sonic games were trash.
People are allowed to have opinions, stop acting like someones opinions are somehow victimizing your own, they aren't especially in cases like this....he didn't even attack modern sonic you are just making it SOUND like he did...do you NEED to feel like your opinions are being attacked? because they arent.
You fail at justifying hypocrisy.
If being "unstable" is a great issue then that logic easily applies to the classic games,borderline bad level design and several game breaking bugs is far from being different or better than what the modern games have.
Again,putting the classics in such a high place is hardly being fair or giving a real review instead of a biased opinion ,games like Generations and Unleashed are easily on par with most of the classics.
Having an opinion isn't an excuse for that,the opinion excuse cab easily be used against him.Without mentioning that it still won't justify the Classic Games dickriding.
@@fpberserk4690 He's a hypocrite because he doesn't find your favorite Sonic games as good as this one? No, it doesn't. It means you're feeling starved for recognition of your taste in games. Go find a video praising the games you prefer while downplaying this one, and call that uploader a hypocrite too.
Sonic now has two different sprinting animations: "Fast", and "Anime Fast."
Laughed more than I should. :D
It's actually good to see a classic franchise go back to its roots. This, along with Crash (no need to get competitive) finally received the treatment it needed, although I personally wish that the Crash remasters had some new levels.
Persona X They technically got one.

A few months later...
"RAY AND MIGHTY ARE COMING BACK IN SONIC MANIA PLUS!
Gotta love all the butt hurt fans in the comments mincing Jirard's words to make it seem like he hates every Sonic game since the first few. "Good" does not equal "amazing" or "truly incredible". Good does not mean trash. Matt even says "...there's been a handful of stand out Sonic titles since the good old days and a few have them have even come really close to recapturing the magic of those first few classic game, but none of them have been quite able to match the style or quality of the games...". As he called the first few "amazing" it's hard to argue that any future Sonic game reached those heights. There's no doubt that some of them were good or even great, but maybe not on the same level as the classics. And this folks is what we call an OPINION. You don't have to agree with it. You can think the classic games are terrible and that's fine. But that doesn't give any prick the right to disrespect others views, no matter how unpopular it may be. I don't like the classic games. I don't like the Adventure games. Does that mean I'm not a "true" Sonic fan? Fuck no. I'm very interested in the series, otherwise I wouldn't be here. I know this is a lot to ask for on the internet, especially with Sonic. But I'm insane, and sick and tired of seeing all the same shit on every Sonic Mania/Forces video.
Jirah is starting to become a horrible reviewer honestly. If you write a review for sonic mania, only talk about sonic mania, do not add unnecessary hate in your review to make a point. There's a reason why people equate him to IGN
I dont know. It's rich coming from the guy that defended Sonic unleashed and praised some of the games he's bashing here. I think it's obvious he's only doing it because every youtube reviewer are, and it REALLY shows.
17:02 Sonic Mania Plus: Well, yes but actually no.
And krillin didn't even have to die OMG NEVER HAVE I LAUGHED SO HARD WATCHING YOU hahahahahahaha

While we are at it, Darth Vader is Luke's father, Malcolm Crowe was a ghost all along and Gandalf got reborn as Gandalf the White.
My God the Sonic fanbase is so sensitive, Jirad mentions how Sonic hasn't been consistently good for the past years like he used to be and you all act as though he hates every 3D Sonic game. smh
@Retcon I think it's more of the fact that the 3D fans are a bit sensitive, because their games are always picked on by the gaming media. I mean one bad 3D Sonic game comes out and it's back to " Sonic is never good " memes. While 2D Sonic has had bad games like Sonic Labyrinth and the media doesn't say anything. There's also bandwagons when it comes to the 3D games, one moment Sonic Adventure is good, the next, it's "just as bad as the other 3D games ", you would be tired of all this BS.
I would give anything to get people to fucking shut up about the Adventure series... I've heard enough people talk about it, I don't want to hear anymore.
Retcon Im A fan of Sprite art games I will admit it does that make me a hater? And the only reason you hear about the Adventure series is because they were the first 3D Sonics after the Sprite base games and no one wanted a more 3D Sonics. The appeal wore off is the best way I could explain it. They might not of been bad but that's not what people wanted from Sonic.
Po-ké Watch I meant the strictly 2D games, basically the consistency of 1 up to CD, not including any spin offs. Never been a fan in general so I've got no reason to defend either way, just trying to suggest where Jirad was likely coming from
Retcon Boi, labyrinth and Drift are 2D... You can't just suddenly change what you meant anyway.
Note to self: NEVER read the comments on a Sonic video.
Jirachi Does stuff Where Toni were to need more a little loony and in this card to a new were invading your TV
What's the problem I don't get it
@@SquidwardProfilePic probably a little late, but I think he refers to the hate to almost all sonic games, for one reason or another. And like if you enjoyed that games and everyone denomine them shit with none respect, that can hurt your fellings.
@@xx_pit_xx8492 true,funnily like 80% of new sonic games can easily get 6-9/10 if looked from the positive side,even horribly bad games are a result of Sega trying to listen to ALL fans,it is who critics made it a sport to bitch over sonic games no matter the quality and just over rate nintendo's game because sadly today's quote is "it is cool to show nintendo is better than sega"
@@BigSmoke-xh5hi below average?The only bad thin was the story and level design.Stop overheating on everything,oh right that's what sonic's "fans" existamce revolves around,hate whatever doesn't fill their ass.
It's been a while since the last good Sonic? B-B-But does no one remember Colors?
Logandactyl Or Unleashed? Or Rush? Or Rush Adventure?
+Logandactyl Or advance 1, 2 or 3?
It's an exaggeration
Its been 5ish years since generations
Logandactyl or Sonic 06?
17:05
Sega, 1 year later : ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT ?!
I feel bad now. All we want from Sonic is a trip back to the past, while his rival, Mario keeps evolving. Sonic's evolution to 3D is not as smooth as Mario, sure, but we need to let Sonic grows rather than letting him forever be a pixel nostalgic trip.
I don't want to being rude and I not want the guy that did this video feel sad.
But I don't like that we need to always put a Sonic game down only for put others over it, You know what? Yes, Sonic Mania is awesome is super awesome but I still like a lot 3D Sonic, And you know what? I still want Sonic 3D games a lot
And you know what? Yes Sonic has bad games, But dude I only would say the realest bad games are 06 and Ryse of Lyric.
Please people enjoy Mania and don't put other games down, I am sure there is group guys that will prefer a Sonic 3D instead of Mania.
Good day everyone
RAY AND MIGHTY R COMING BOY! U READY?
Mania was the first sonic game I played, and I absolutely loved it.
"no ray or mighty mentions"funny how now they were announced as playable characters in sonic mania plus.
I LOLed at big the cat. This is one of the best episodes on the channel, and love it so much! This video alone finnaly convinced me to pick it up.
17:00 Insert Generic Sonic Mania Plus joke here.
Big the cat is now big lolcat
17:54 I've never seen gameplay footage that hurts before!
This is thee first video I’ve watched on my birthday today. It’s my 23rd and the first words I’m greeted with are “23 years, it’s been 23 years!”
Well guys...you know what they say "To be this good, it takes AGES!"
Devs: What stages you want to include in Sonic Mania?
Sega: Yes
*sky sanctuary zone and more zones intensifies*
These game tickles my inner child :,)
5:14 It used to be most had horses and the rich had cars, now most have cars and the rich have horses.
seeing flying battery, hydrocity and lava reef return brought back so many childhood memories of sonic 3 & knuckles, it being the first sonic game I ever played
New stages are AWESOME...
The whole game is AWESOME! ^^
Sonic Colors and Generations are both good Sonic games, modern sonic hate is as strong as ever.
Zero space053 Unleashed was good too. So were the DS games(except Chronicles)
Tanner Price I would include Unleashed but thats the players choice, for me I love unleashed. The night time stages are fun and day time stages are my fav part. Day time sonics biggest issue is his drift but they improved and learned from it in Colors and generations so Im fine with it.
Zero space053 Colors had some boring level design but generations is good
Living Jojo Reference I agree for some levels for sure but a lot were fun too.
Zero space053 hating on modern sonic is a meme at this point and I feel thats what people do it for now.
*Mania Plus drops in two weeks.*
*Watches Completionist episode*
Jirard: Mighty and Ray are still dead.
Me: Not so fast.
Bro says no Ray or Mighty but 1 year later Sonic Mania Plus and GUESS WHAT Ray and Mighty as playable characters
yeah lmfao
"IT'S BEEN 23 YEARS SINCE SONIC WAS GOOD"
*[looks down at comments]*
Oh, boy....
p.s. No offence taken and this game is fucking amazing.
23 years is exactly old Sonic is. I think he was joking. Lol.
The Console Warrior he's actually going to be 27 this year.
Oh lol. My brain is still with Sonic Generations today
Sonic boom might be a shit game, but it is a fucking fantastic TV show.
graywolf the 45th agreed
graywolf the 45th I wholeheartedly agree with you. I wish they would renew it and bring it back. But I think the reason why it’s been canceled, is what you’re seeing in the comment section here. Everyone probably roasted it so much, that the creators just said nobody likes it, let’s pull it off of TV. When in fact I’m sure there are many people who liked it, and enjoyed watching it, more than there were people hating it and saying it was bad. And by roasting in saying it’s bad, I’m talking about the people who are crapping on the 3-D games. Yes there were some bad ones, but there were some good ones too. And the fact that people are forgetting about other games that exist in the sonic universe. TLDR, the naysayers are the fact that the show isn’t on TV anymore.
I'd like the Boom cartoon more if it just took place in the main canon imo.
The show's not that great. It's okay, but there isn't much substance. They don't really do anything interesting or live in an interesting world, where the main characters are the most interesting. I'd prefer it that a lot of random characters also had special abilities or something, but just focused on Sonic. It's not bad, but a lot of missed potential.
But that's just me.

I love the big the cat joke. Also the sonic music joke!
The Sonic Mania review drinking game!
-take a shot every time someone says they waited a really long time for this.
-take a shot every time they hate on modern sonic (double if its the obvious 06, boom, or forces joke).
-take a shot every time someone brings up nostalgia pandering as a selling point.
-take a shot everytime they say this is the best sonic game in years
If anyone is crazy enough to try this, they WILL DIE.
Regradless, any extra ideas?
I downloaded the game twenty minutes ago. Perfect timing. Loving it so far. (anyone know how to do the drop dash)
Figured it out.
You know, i always read hydrocity as hydrocity, kinda similar to the phenomenon of reading lead as lead, or read as read. Weird, isn’t it?
Like instead of hydro-city you read hydrohcity?
TOVG's facial expressions when Ted says Crush 40 just slaughtered me hahahaha.
17:03 that got retconned in Sonic Mania Plus lol
gangster ass looney tunes t shirts still exist ive seen them
"The Sonic Redemption" Then Sonic Forces happened...
Sonic mania is every sonic lovers dream come true I was so happy when I first played it!
First sentence and already overblown criticism.
Adventure 1 blew my mind when I first played it, it's so fun and over the top. Adventure 2 immersed me with its story and B movie atmosphere. Heroes had a nice, pure challenge. Colors is similar, but Generations has the best gameplay in the entire series. Those games were more amazing to me than classics, despite starting with Advance series with similar gameplay style.
Why does he constantly ignore how great colors and generations were?
Hey have you ever played RE4? i think you would love that game if you haven't played it. a lot of hidden content to unlock
Great review. One thing I would have highlighted more is how amazing the soundtrack was.
Do the advance games just not exist? Are they not good? Is there some sort of stigma to them that I don't know about?
They aren't bad but they aren't outstanding either, they are just pretty meh
I love those games as much as anyone else, but when you think about it, they weren't amazing. The Tails/Eggman stages were bad, and the treasure hunt stages weren't good imo. The only really good parts were the Sonic/Shadow stages and the chao garden
Edit: read the comment wrong, sorry.
Sonic advance 3 was bad. It sort ruined the trilogy for me
Mangdarlia1 he said advance not adventure
Mangdarlia1 idk if you like shootem ups then you would like the tails eggman, also he wasn't referring to adventure, he's referring to the game boy advance titles
“It’s been 23 years since the last truly incredible Sonic the Hedgehog game.”
Yeah, because Sonic Advance, Sonic Colors, and Sonic Generations never existed.
goddammit, boost gameplay games are sooooo overrated. Everything you do is go fast. What about the physics? The momentum? OR BASICALLY EVERYTHING THAT MADE SONIC GAMEPLAY SO ICONIC BESIDES "GOTTA GO FAST"?
Lank the Dank To be honest I don't like generations, sonic mania is way more fun hands down.
Lank the Dank You just have shit taste.
Inquisitor Of Extreme Prejudice how is my taste the same as danks, he was being sarcastic whereas I don't like generations. The reason I think generations is overhyped is also very simple, you can 100% it in one weekend and it isn't a multiplayer focused game.
Adventure DX has aged badly but the adventure games are solid games. More fun then Mario sunshine in my opinion.
17:03 But then the DLC revived them!
This is some premium platforming/arcading/pinballing stuff with a great sense of flow, rythm, and speed. Nice OST, too. Really nice design overall. Go get it!

0:00 to 0:08 I disagree about that, but okay. 1:50 to 1:57 Most people are sick of Modern Sonic? Well okay. 2:09 to 2:13 Boom Sonic IS NOT Modern Sonic. 9:29 to 9:33 Thankfully, Sonic Mania Plus fixes this! 17:01 to 17:05 Thankfully, they come back as playable characters in Sonic Mania Plus! 24:16 to 24:31 #URKELGUTS 25:07 to 25:14 If you play as Tails or Knuckles and get all 7 Chaos Emeralds, they also get that final boss fight. 29:07 to 29:12 No game like the OG Classic Sonic games DOES NOT equal "The Dark Ages of Sonic the Hedgehog". 30:19 to 30:21 Sonic never left.

Mania is good
Derpinator9000 Forces will be good too.
Mania is The Dark Knight and Forces Tim Burton's Batman.
José Daniel Cabrera Medina we don't know yet. I'm excited for Forces, but it hasn't come out yet, we won't know if it'll be good. There's a chance, but there's no guarantees.
Tanner Price I know a lot about these things.
Forces has a high chance of ending being great.
The problem is that Mania is a whole different thing, it is a new kind of thing.
Mania is like an Alfred Hitchcock movie, but Forces, Generations and Colors are like a Marvel movie: good but not revolutionary.

This is more than glorifying a really good game (which is very good), that is irrationally trashing on honestly good games. Every good franchise has it's less well made games. Mario has sunshine, Zelda has 2 and skyward sword, Mega Man has 8, and X7. True, Sonic has more than a few bad games, but trashing colors, generations, SA1/2 because it isn't Sonic 4 the genesis? That is beyond professional praising a good game. I expected better from the guy who stood up to defend Sonic Unleashed...
Ian Jones Quartey actually helped with the animated intro and made the underrated masterpiece Ok K.O let’s be heroes.
"But not Ray or Mighty"
Oh boy, guess who's coming back =)
Lesson we learned: Dont test remakes with noobs
Regarding the period of the "dark age" of Sonic - it was over when Sonic Colours was released. Unfortunately, SEGA decided to start a new dark age with the release of Sonic Boom, Sonic Lost Worlds being it's ambassador. But alas, we have been saved by Christian and Headcannon, thank you so much!
Sega didn't make Sonic Boom
Shot the background? Hell ya! I love sonic backgrounds. For them to be involved in the game makes it sound like a dream~
5/5 IT'S A MASTAPEECE
Not even close, baybeee.
The only recent good Sonic games have been Colors and Generations, and I have high hopes for Forces, despite what I've seen, it seems like Sega has finally recaptured what we want, some want a game like Mania, some want a game like Forces, let's just hope Sega and the Sonic team have got their shit together.
I honestly agree with you but also think that there shouldn't be something to worry about, i mean Forces is just Generations 2 IMO plus the OC which seems to be just Modern with gadgets instead of boost, so i don't think we're gonna get dissapointed unless you're purposely looking to feel that way
Forces look amazing imho. But hey, I'm truly glad that Mania is here to cater Nostalgic fans because I'm more a Modern player myself. Hope SEGA would just stick to Mania-esque and Generations-esque games for the future
yeah, i prefer forces because you cannot do much with the genesis stuff
You actually can do more with ''genesis stuff.''
This is the funny part.
Forces is more limited than Sonic Mania.
If Sega would drop Sonic Team and all their future projects.
Sonic Mania like games could evolve way beyond the 2.5d style.
Um no, classic sonic is limited because you can only do so much with 2d platforming. Mario grew up from 2d, so can other franchises too. Take your rose tinted glasses off please (as a 30 year old who grew up on classic sonic)
Love how you put a clip of Colors while insulting the series. Expect people to be mad.
Zesty Smith What's even worse is that most people don't know that Jirard isn't the one who edits these videos.
Thank you Jirard for making the first sonic mania review I ever watched
"questionably gimmicky, flawed gameplay"
>shows Sonic Colors
umm... that was a mistake, right?
God I can imagine when forces gets released the classic sonic fans start Bitching about the game
Or people who don't have a bias towards any particular era in Sonic's discography and feel they actually have legitimate problems with the game itself, and the concept behind it.
dOnG dInG ha ha funny joke
I honestly expect Forces to get compared to Mania and get dragged through the mud.
But, that won't stop me from enjoying the heck out of it.
Play Sonic Mania and you'll understand why Classic Sonic is in Sonic Forces.
They already are. Hell, people have *ALREADY* went as far as to bash Mania for practically tying into it
Hey Jared, you said that Mighty and Ray are dead?
Hear of Sonic Mania Plus? :3
When you made the ray and mighty joke. I laughed BECAUSE THEY’RE COMING BACK! SONIC MANIA PLUS!
