Is Sonic Superstars THAT BAD? - An in Depth Review
Sonic Superstars is a game that disappointed in many many ways. But... do I agree? Does this game deserve the hate? Have I watched the show Mad Men? All answers and more to be seen in this video!

The Many Problems with Super Mario Wonder - An in Depth Review
Переглядів 2,4 тис.4 місяці тому
Super Mario Bros. Wonder released to glowing praise from almost everyone... except me. I enjoyed my time with the game but couldn't shake my many issues with it away. This is not me finding the game to be overrated, but rather feeling like the experience could be improved so heavily with just some simple changes. I love Mario and Luigi and Blue Toad and Peach and Bowser and all the rest and I w...

With Super Mario Bros. Wonder releasing extremely soon, I wanted to take a look back at the previous 2D Mario games. And no better way to do that than through some rom hacks and level mods! Can they be considered level mods if they're more than one level? I dunno.

    That’s why mods exist. But yeah it’s unjust that despite players complaining about Lost World and Forces’ physics and level design. The only thing they do was copy and paste portions of levels from different games, and made the physics worse. It is not that hard to replicate physics, even though it’s from a different engine, everything is basically laid out for you.

    i found a way to fix t hat whole stopping on a dime thing just set jump deceleration to zero and activate the boost with jump not only these changes will maintain sonic's momentum while running but in boosting while jump you can carry the speed. you can just do it in the game setting they already fixed it and also if you have complain about cyberspace spindash is here to cover you.

    You were fighting wyvern wrong. You’re meant to parry the missiles, also you don’t even have to move to do the fight, it’s just hold parry, (cuz it’s infinite) block the missile, stomp him, repeat, do QTE, and win. It’s not fun if you do it right. Also, the updates fixed most issues you had, like the ending, new challenges, and the spin dash

    Terrible bosses aside, my biggest issue with Superstar comes from the level designs & co-op. The first halve of the zone started off good. But once we get into Lagoon City, things have gotten worst. So much of stop & go, pressing switch, pushing that, doing this, basically anything that makes you do things rather than rewarding with speed. They also add too many gimmicks in each levels that are hit & miss and can get pretty obnoxious too. The camera gets to close to Sonic that anything hits you off screen. The Emeralds Power; while cool idea in theory, are very underwhelming and the game lacks any polished. And than there's the co-op; which is supposed to be the games main selling point. But it is by far the worst co-op of any video game I've seen. Even the New Super Mario Bros games has co-op that are better than this. This is a shame really. This game has so much potential and could've been an great game. But what we got is an average game at best and unplayable at worst.

      What you described for "Sonic Superstars" is the true definition of quantity over quality. Critically speaking, it's actually mediocre at its core (5.5/10). But on a personal level, it's mediocre at best for me (5/10).

    3:00 Jumping off inclines is soooo fun. Ever since they brought it back in Dream Team, I've been doing it in every sonic game since. It works well in Colors too!! Wish more level design was built around it, but you mostly use it for faster times or for fun. Dream Team does make use of it though for red rings and secret areas which is very nice

    @beauwalker9820 28 днів тому

    People forget the old Sonic games' graphics were actually inspired by early 90s CGI, which is why palmtree leaves look polygonal, why flowers look spikey, why there's checkerboard patterns everywhere, and such. Even the bonus stages seem inspired by early 3D animation. Not to mention the title screens for Sonic 3 and S&K look almost like Donkey Kong Country style rendered graphics. So honestly 3D does suit retro Sonic because 3D style effects are a part of Classic Sonic too.

    • @Solesteam

      Except in the modern age, they no longer have that retro 3D feel, they have that kinda muddy way too over rendered for a happy, silly animeish cartoony world like the classic sonic entries Sonic, modern 3D feel...

    • @beauwalker9820
      @beauwalker9820 26 днів тому

      ​@@Solesteam I dunno Superstars still has an abstract look in some areas, Sonic isn't very animesque, (they purposely made him look more like an American cartoon character) and it doesn't look that "modern Sonic" to me, aside from the jungle level maybe. Stuff like the giant fruit stage and stuff still have a retro whimsy to them. And you guys always complain about them reusing old Classic Sonic levels, (like Green Hill) so they were probably trying to make them look different from old stages. And truthfully, I don't think the 2D cinematic scene style would work, and honestly doesn't look as good as the scenes from Sonic Origins.
