The sonic colors review we needed 👌👌
More pointless white knighting of this piece of shit ? No, we did not need that.
Can we just appreciate that when he replayed colors, he still had an open mind, and didn't let his previous opinion affect his current experience? More people need to play games like this guy.
This is not the best sonic game
But it’s my favorite😉
Edit: now it’s unleashed but I will defend colors until the day I die
Colors sucks
@@bonjour-rd5hx No u
Underrated UA-camr, you deserve more Subs 👍
The funny story is, I have never played the game, because I don't have a Wii, but I still own it, because I just wanted it. I saw a bunch of walkthroughs and I am really hoping I can get the chance to play this game. It looks awesome!
@@_lemon52 yeah, you're right XD
Someone defending colors what is this 2013
If there's going to be a Sonic 3D All-Stars I really hope this comes in with it because it brings so much Nostalgia and the second one is that it just introduced me to gaming when I started playing
Okay about that Sonic 3D All-Stars albeit not the all stars but we did get a Sonic Colors remaster, called Sonic Colors Ultimate
Sonic Colors was probably the most played game in my childhood, and I loved it as a little kid. (The writing definitely comes off as overly cheesy nowadays, but to a kindergartener, “Baldy McNosehair was the funniest thing since toilet humor.) It was even the first game I went for 100% for. However, that was my main problem with it - unmoving Super Sonic was _so goddamn tedious._ Every non-boss stage (excluding Terminal Velocity) had 5 red rings to collect. Collecting enough red rings would unlock a new stage in “Eggman’s Sonic Simulator” (essentially a collection of extra stages with the option of two players, which as far as I know, was the only time you could have conventional multiplayer in a 3-D Sonic game since Heroes). There were 21 stages in ESS, with 3 themed around each of the main game’s worlds. 7 of these stages were accessible by default, and to unlock the remaining 14 that you needed to get the Chaos Emeralds, you had to collect _every single red star ring._ 5 rings per stage times 6 stages per world times 6 worlds equals 180 rings, the majority of which were in alternate paths that either required ridiculous amounts of backtracking or were so out of the way and tedious that they were physically impossible to find without a guide! Even following a video, I think it took me longer to collect those rings than it took me to play the entire game normally. And the reward? You get to listen to two measures of Reach for the Stars on loop as you play with infinite boost. The DS version of the game had an entire secret final boss AND gave you the emeralds via bonus stages that were felt so much better than the grind on the Wii. If the Nega Mother Whisp fight was in the console version it might have felt earned, but as it was, there was so little incentive to go for Super Sonic that almost nobody that I knew that played the game even realized you could unlock it.
This game is one of my top ten Sonic games of all time! I even listen to Reach for the Stars and Speak with your Heart on something like iTunes every now and then.
We now live in the timeline where Colors Ultimate only seemed to reinforce people's negative opinions on Colors. Sad.
hey wait what do you mean by sonic colors ds isnt rush 3
I love sonic Colours I appreciate The Good while excepting the flaws I can see why some dont like it and IK its not the best,butt I still like it
I remember when I was like 7, my older siblings would play this game alot. It was so fun to watch. i sucked at the boost parts, but the thing that had me engaged was the wisps. They were rather easy to control so I had a lot of fun playing them. Some of the jokes were actially funny (at least as a kid), and because I dodnt know how to use wii pro controller, what did I use? Wii mote.
top quality video man as always, loved the little mention haha always thought CD was a mess, initially i loved colours and then my opinion soured, same as yours, but i think it’s unfair for that to be the case when i haven’t played the game in years. personally still not a fan of the cutscenes as they can be viewed online and i still think they’re cringe, but i think the idea of there being loads of filler levels and not enough 3d is a shitty excuse for not liking it as much as i used to. i’ll have to give this game another shot in the future, thanks for convincing me by being roger’s defence attorney ;)
When I first played colors I didn’t like it but haven’t played this game in years but this video made me wanna give this game a second chance when I get around to it.
6:22 No, Free Riders is his debut game.
TBH, I think Sonic Colours was a good game that Sega learned the wrong lessons from.
And the effects got compounded because Generations, the first game where they applied those lessons was still able to be good *in spite* of them, from making use of the pre-existing strengths of ideas that weren't original. So by the time they were able to apply the wrong ideas from Colours to new material, they were already so set into them that they couldn't easily change course.
The simpler plot and light tone were things that would have worked just fine as a one-off, and weren't a problem for the next game, where the premise would have actually been weakened if it had been over-written. It only became a problem in the two games after that where Sonic Team had the actual chance to go back to the types of stories they used to write and weren't able to within the new style and direction.
You can say essentially the same things about the game's shorter length and its laser-focus on a single character and gameplay style.
Certainly didn't help that as time went on it became pretty clear these writers had no interest in learning the any of the characters they were being told to write for aside from Sonic and Eggman. I would actually say that's the one "meta-era" problem that *is* noticeable in Colours, but even then mainly in hindsight, because it's the sort of change that requires watching the characters across multiple stories to see clearly.
I’ve played both sonic colors versions but I played the Wii version first. When I bought the Wii version I was promised nothing but 36 full daytime levels from sonic unleashed with cool power ups and I played it and didn’t enjoy it as much as other people did due to the high expectations and then a few months later I got colors on DS and enjoyed it way more since it was more speed focused, the gameplay was more tighter, it had all the sonic characters from the other games like chaotic, team rose, team dark, and knuckles and the wisp were all speed focused but I really want to play the Wii version again with a open mind to cause I was unfair to it when I first played it but I sold it at GameStop for 10$ to get the sonic mania plus DLC so I might have to use a emulator for this one
you know when I visit sonic colors I only play the very first level in tropical resort and planet wisps and aquarium park and thats it while in unleashed and generation I play almost every single boost level
That was an amazing review. It's SO refreshing to hear from someone who likes both Sonic Unleashed and Colors. Usually, I meet one of two people. Either someone way outside of the fanbase who considers Colors the first good Sonic game since Sonic 3 & Knuckles or someone who considers themselves an expert on everything and says that Sonic Unleashed is a flawless game and Sonic Colors is a passionless rushed effort like Forces. I do prefer Unleashed to Colors, but I think they're both great games (that totally deserve an HD remaster).
“No copyright law in the universe is going to stop me!!” I agree with everything you said except the story I don’t think it fits the tone. I would not mind a light hearted story but cringey jokes don’t fit any sonic game imo even Sonic Colors
The one thing that I liked about Colors’s story was the Robot Arm stabbed into the canon and then Tropical Resort exploding
It's one of my favourite Sonic games. Also good video!!! ;)
can you do top 5 sonic gameplay formulas
This. All of this. I agree with pretty much every single point here. My only gripe could be in the level design argument since which levels are filer and which are fun will probably change from person to person, but I still agree with the overall point. The reason why this is my favorite game in the franchise is because of the replayability. The wisps are actually very well used in this game in my opinion. The 2d sections of the game are actually pretty open and have many pathways, and using the wisps to go through the fastest ones is so fun to master. I could pretty much skip most if not all "blocky" 2d sections with good use of the wisps, which are also fun to use as a bonus. Plus, the environments and the music is top-notch and will always keep me coming back to this game. I get that it has problems. But I think it's unfair to blame this game for what was to come. Sonic Team was pressured to have a simpler game with 2d since that's what people wanted back then. It's like how they are basically pressured to bring back the adventure style nowadays. Sonic Colors still had that sense of passion and ambition in my opinion with the level of aesthetics and the ending sequence. It was the decisions they made afterward that really started the meta-era, as some put it. They basically kept most of the bad parts of Colors like the cringe writing and the oversimplified plots and ran with it for a decade. But I think it's unfair to judge Colors because of that context, and rather we should look at the game for what it is. That would be like me criticizing Aventure 1 for causing 06 since it started the 3d era trend... it makes no sense.
Yes the story isn’t good, but I thought everyone didn’t care for the story in sonic games. I always go into a sonic game with the lowest expectations for story because thats not the reason I play these games. Hell sometimes I outright skip cutscenes and I don’t feel like I’ve missed a thing.
Also how did you play through the game in HD on a Wii U? Sure the Wii U outputs at HD but the game is still rendering in anamorphic 640x480.
21:09 what is this graph?
TR 2 3d section are just hallways .
TR 5 is just TR 3 with the 1st 3d section cut out but according to you it is more 3d.
SM 5 has like 10 seconds of 3d at the beginning.
PW 4 has 15 seconds of 3d.
TR 4, TR 6, AQ 2, and AC 3 are less than 30 seconds long. How is that not filler.
While AC 4 is not 2d, but it's definitely filler.
Same with PW 3.
And how DARE you say SC 2 is filler (especially since you think act 4 isn't)
In my opinion there are
14 good 3d/2d
2 filler 3d/2d
8 good 2d levels
12 filler 2d levels
So
55% are 2d levels
60% of those are filler
33% are 2d filler
41% of the 36 levels are filler
By the way if half of the game is fully 2d and the other half is half 2d that means 75% of this "3d" sonic game is 2d.
Bruh you have to cheak out happy tree freinds it’s not what you think
This is honestly one of the best sonic colors reviews I've ever watched. I hate how people treat this game, like it's one of the true dark age games, like just no, and if someone ever tells me that colors is overrated, I would be dying of laughter in my seat. I started playing this game earlier this year, and I enjoyed it. While I like unleashed more, colors does a great job at not only being a great sonic game but a great game overall. Plus I think the wisps are a bit better than the werehog (great, people are on my way to beat my ass).
2:57 "The majority of people who weren't fans of Colours hadn't actually played the game in a while." Actually, I replayed it a few weeks ago. I still don't like the game.
@Ya girl Hecatia still better than 06 and shadow
solution to cringey curscene dialouge: just fuckin change it to japanese
I think Sonic Forces really tarnished the reputation of Colors. Forces ended up being such a disappointment that people started blaming Colors, as that was the first game to include wisps, and the new story writers. But if you play Colors now, it's a much better game than Forces. It's also better than Unleashed, which is definitely an unpopular opinion these days.
LMFAO Silly goose, Lost World is what first showed the cracks in the ABSOLUTE nonsense that was the unwarranted praise for this pile of Skittles-sprinkled horse manure. It was THERE when people started to notice Pontac and Graff are hacks who can't write. It was THERE when people started to get tired of constant nostalgia pandering and goofy zany (and hollow) cartoonyness. And it was THERE when people started to realize the Wisps are actually shitty padding gimmicks that feel like they belong to Mario, and are an excuse for Sonic Team not to use other characters again.
Better than Unleashed ? You're on meth...Strange that you seem to hate Forces so much since it has so much in common with your precious Colors.
@@DanieleMulas-up7np or you know. He has an opinion.
@@icee1683 Right lol
"Opinion". More like double standards.
im sorry but I hate this game I expected better after unleashed but this game is a huge step back from unleashed I mean sonic speed when he boost in colors are a little bit slower than sonic normal speed in unleashed and it has a lot of empty level design
well there are mods in generations to play colors stages with better graphics and controls
People still defend this piece of shit in 2020 ? Jesus effing Christ.....
For one, I was first introduced to the games by Unleashed (I watched Sonic X years before), then the SA games and 06. When I first read news about it, the name alone just sounded.....wrong. "Colors" doesn't sound cool, or interesting. It sounds (censoring myself here) fruity as hell.
For a couple of years I stayed away from the series. When I came back, I saw this game and all the praise it got, and I just didn't get it. *OoOh iTs GoOd CuZ iTs LiEk ThE ClAsSiCz, No DarK n EdGy StoRy, nO hUmAnz, No StOoPiD SaNic FrEnZ, nO WeReHoG* or *iTz ThE bEsT 3D sAnIc GaEm EvEr* . I sat through playthroughs, I played the actual game and......Fuck no it's not. At best, it's a mediocre, clunky and dull platformer. At worst, it's by far the second worst iteration of the Boost next to Forces, and NOT a good 3D game (let alone one), nor a good 2D game at that.
It's like playing Unleashed.....but neutered, with less controls, less interactive, less challenging, A LOT less fun. And the horrible, tedious, blocky 2D. Gotta love Sonic fans, they'll bitch about how slow and clunky the Mechs or Werehog are, but give them so lazy pisspoor 2D blocks, clunky controls and annoying, pace-breaking Mario gimmicks that play like worse versions of other characters (Hover= Tails with Light Dash, Drill and Frenzy = Knuckles) or just dumb, annoying minigames, and they'll call it the best thing since sliced bread.
The story was just.......hideous. The characters are fucking obnoxious, NONE of them is likable. Sonic is an unlikable asshole, Tails is an unlikable asshole, Eggman is dumb and incompetent, and Orbot and Cubot are some of the most useless and unfunny minions in fiction. Don't give me bullshit excuses about needing light-hearted tone or a simple story. Heroes did that and it was nowhere near as bad or insulting as this. Without hammering you down with shit like "BaLdY McNoEsHaIr* or *DiD SuMbAdEe HeEr OrDrD a ClObBeRinG* , or constantly repeating basic plot points about Eggman kidnapping and using aliens for fuel over and over like you have no attention span.
In many ways, Colors did to the Sonic franchise just as much damage as 06. 06 ruined the reputation, turned Sonic into a laughing stock and forced Sonic Team to cut corners. Colors gave people the impression it is GOOD if Sonic treats itself as a laughing stock or tries too hard to be like Mario, or endlessly chases after "gOiNg bAcK tO tHe rOoTs" in the most shallow and unappealing way. Generations re-enforced that, then Lost World was the first crack in the shell and Forces shattered it.
Would never call this a piece of shit. Yeah, it's a downgrade from Unleashed, but not bad at all. I was introduced to this series from rush which actually has the best boost gameplay.
@@icee1683 Except.....it is that bad. Finally we agree on something though, Rush is the best iteration of this gameplay.
Nah its not 🫢
I'd say that Sonic games stopped having creativity starting with Lost World. Generations gets a pass because obvious reasons.
Still not gonna convince me to like colors. I think it's a mediocre "3d" sonic game. I think it has too much 2d. I think that's stupid. It's a 3d game. Not 3d with hundreds upon hundreds of 2d.
I highly disagree with this Sonic being in character. Tails and him are completely butchured
I admit, I liked it at first. But it only took half a year for me to dislike it. And it wasn't held at a high caliber, I just thought it was only good. So this isn't me going on preconceived notions, colors is a pretty awful game to me.
