That's a must for anyone playing Rollercoaster Tycoon, though. You simply can't have a true game without sending hordes of people to all kinds of horrible, inescapable deaths.
For anyone that has/still plays rollercoaster tycoon 2/3: i keep seeing them at swap meets and have never played them before, do they hold up/worth playing today?
Then name that 95%.

The thing I love the most about this video is Dunkey’s praise of “that one boss”. I have beaten the game, and the bosses are so good I have no idea which one he’s talking about.
@@dismasthepenitent569 pretty sure both versions of that boss are like tied second worst in the game. pretty sure its gotta be either mean bean or maybe heavy king?
"There is a boss fight in here that I am not going to spoil, but once you play the game, you'll know what I am talking about." The Dr. Mario boss fight.
The way you do this is when you find a hook on hydrocity after the area where you first use a switch which turns on propellers, go right and then once you pull the switch to lower the water click right 3 times, left three time, and lastly up 3 times while still on the hook. Then just proceed the level and see the results

@@Dragonking1984 Wait, how tf is Unleashed dogshit? Like, if you are expecting a tight momentum based platformer, it does have that, so what's the issue? And, I did not really explain my point earlier but the argument that it was Sega's original vision to bound Sonic always to 2d is a misguided one, as the series always focused on getting better and bigger and more innovative each entry (Look at Sonic 1 to SA2 especially). Sure, it fumbled (Shadow the Hedgehog should've been the best Sonic game instead it is the worst) and had clearly bad ideas (Humans and Hedgehogs), but it was all because of time restraints forced by Sega, not the development team itself. As for the examples you gave, what do you mean Resident Evil and Final Fantasy haven't changed, they have SIGNIFICANTLY changed, especially Resident Evil, Final Fantasy less so but still. Honestly, I would've prefered if they kept building up on the foundation laid by SA2 and Sega should've provided them with enough developmental time. As of now, the only reason Sonic is so hated, is because it took too much criticism, now it's nothing but a shallow shade of what it was once meant to be all to appeal a wider audience who never cared. Frankly, it is sad that they are relying on pure nostalgia these days. Don't get me wrong, Mania is one of my favourite Sonic games like, ever, and while the level layouts are vastly different and improved, the visual themes are the same, which stops it from being my favourite classic game. In my eyes, 06 was the nail in the coffin which combined bad ideas with short development time while also having a good ambitious at heart. If you wanna see what it's like to keep the series as it was, look no further than Sonic 4. That's what you get.
considering Dunkey recently just posted a video saying game critics overly hype their games and don't stay true to their review, for him to give this game a perfect score tells me that I need to get this game immediately
Bought Sonic Mania this summer because of this video. It was my first ever Sonic game and it was so worth it. Can easily see myself going back and beating the whole thing again and again
I think it's the other way around. Fans: "You guys suck at making games. Let us do it." Sega: "Sure." Fans: "Sonic Mania" Sega: "Good job. Can you guys illustrate our comics, too?" Fans: "Hell yeah."
Pay 2.49 now for a loot crate that you can open for a chance to get 1 of 5 skins for Sonic! NOW AVAILABLE! Put a hat on Knuckles for only 19.99! You can also buy the DLC Pack which gives a hat on each of Knuckles's fists for only 59.99!
When can i unlock the flamethrower also does this game have a prestige system. I need to spend 1000 hours unlocking a thing everyone can see but no one cares about.
Finley you are a skilled artist and intellectual. You make me laugh and think all the time. You’ve made me happy in some of my hardest times. I just wanted to say thank you on this three year old video
I had no doubt it was going to be good. The fans have known what they've wanted for years and now that they've finally handed them the reigns and listened to their ideas they finally made a new beautiful and enjoyable Sonic game for all.
Plus its very easy concept. everyone knows 2D sonic was good. the challenge is 3D sonic. it was never good. if they make it good now then maybe i will give them credit.
See, I'm probably an outlier, in that I thought that the minigames in Sonic Adventure Battle 2 were great. I loved snowboarding down the hills verses my friends. It was great. You could cheese some downhill sections after that bit on Metal sonic by using his ability. Like, the game itself wasn't great. It was kinda meh, but splitscreen was fun. 2D sonic is where it's at. I can't wait until I'm working again to get Mania.
I love these videos that are partially informative and serious and part casual and jokes thrown in. It's this perfect bland which makes it extremely engaging to watch.
I’ve never met anyone who likes that game who didn’t play it as a kid. I get the impression that nostalgia goggles play a huge role in people’s enjoyment of that game.
SA2 is easily one of the best Sonic games ever made, and also easily one of the best 3D Platformers ever made. Chao Garden singlehandedly adds at least 2 points to its score.
as a sonic fan when a good game comes out finally after years of waiting it just makes u sad because u know what sonic can be yet they can't keep him that way
With such a big hit as this it's really no surprise that Sega decided to completely pass on this surefire success and never get this team to make a damn sequel. Failure is their only option when it comes to Sonic after all.
Abraham linkan. What do you mean, dunkey is a very fair and lenient critic. he gave a 5/5 rating to - oh wait, no. Well how about - wait not that either. I mean at least he gave a 5/5 to - wait, that was a 3/5... hmm.
I really want this game to be a sort of "wake up call" for Sega (along with Forces). Seeing this game take of and Forces most likely flopping, I want Sega to see how a Sonic game should be made and I don't mean Classic Sonic only; I mean the passion and desire to make what the fans want. Personally, I want a really good 3d Sonic game. I've always preferred 3d but they've been usually very subpar. They need to master the basic functions and gameplay, making sure it feels good to play instead of trying to add and innovate some unnecessary mechanic or feature that will ultimately get shot down by fans.
Benito 7 sonic generations and colours were good because they only focused on the elements that make good sonic levels i.e no conversations with humans, no werehog levels, no fishing etc. Jim sterling did a great video on it along time ago.
Benito 7 I feel like even though Forces will probably me a mess, it's giving what fans want: an outlandish fanfiction they found on deviantart including the all the most famous baddies teaming up, all the good guys working as a cohesive unit, an edgy villain with a ridiculous design, and the ability to make their OCs. It feels very tounge-in-cheek and while I probably won't buy it I look forward to the inevitable Game Grumps series where Arin screams about how the game is a bag of dicks and Danny agrees to everything he says
Sonic Forces is going to be the Sonic game that took the longest to develop in the entire series with over 3 years of development time. I'm confident the game will be good.
I just played through Sonic Mania, and I gotta point out that the remixed levels are so different from the originals that they actually are new levels. There are little callbacks to specific parts of stages, but they're totally different for the most part. I've beaten all of the original Sonic sidescrollers, and aside from the way the levels look, there's very little in common between the original levels and the remixed one. Great game.
@@cangrejopendejo4909 CD’s level design philosophy was much different than the other classic games. The focus was more on exploration than it was speed
@@lightray9264 That's just not true. I've played through every classic Sonic game and the differences pretty much begin and end with the past/future mechanic which doesn't change the levels that much anyway.
Sonic may have topped Mario when he came out, but nothing will ever compare to the greatest character from the greatest game of our generation, and generations to come. Knack, from Knack
It doesn't matter what you're doing whether you're playing a game on your phone, watching porn, reading. Whenever a dunkey video notification pops up you tap that shit
This is one of Dunkey’s absolute funniest videos in terms of comedic deliveries. “This game is fucked” “Let me show you guys how to play this real qu-” “That level was awesome”
You're _surprised_ that Sonic Mania of all things got anything but a 5/5 from anyone who's ever seen or played it (besides me)? To me it's little more than nostalgia fodder with a glossier coat of paint aimed at a fan-base with rose-tinted nostalgia goggles glued to its face. I've honestly never watched any of dunkey's reviews for other games, but even if he's got this reputation for hardly liking any game nowadays-let alone seriously give any given game a 5/5 rating, I honestly can't say that I'm anywhere near surprised that he gave this game the rating he did. It's almost par for the course in this day and age.
BlueSunStudios1 alright, let me tell you something. Sonic mania is not just good because of nostalgia. I and many other people grew up with 3D sonic games, and 3D sonic will always be great in my eyes(even if there are some bad 3D sonic games). And as a 3D sonic fan, I can tell you that it is not just nostalgia pandering. It is well made, fun, and overall a great game. I seriously recommend it to anyone who is a fan of platformers, even if you're not a huge sonic fan. I encourage you to give it the benefit of the doubt, and consider purchasing it yourself.
rewatching these really reminds you that the dunkview series is one of the best review shows on this hellsite. good setup, presentation of opinions and conclusions. great stuff.
I love this intro. To me, it's like video games and entertainment are presented as something that help people escape the crazy tabloids and actual relax and enjoy something.
This is my favorite review not only because I also love this game but because Dunkey nailed what makes this game not only a good game but a great game. I have played all the 2-D sonic games and seeing them all mashed into this game was amazing.
@@pikmin8129 I think Mario 64 does have dated elements, but I find it to be a more fun and polished experience than Sonic Adventure. But then again I'm more into Mario than Sonic, especially 3D Mario.
“Did you walk around the whole city” dude that brought back bad memories, I had that game and never made it past that part, and it was one of the only games I had for a few years because I grew up poor
@@gabrielrodriguez8019 you tripping bro story wise I think sa2 is superior but prefer the gameplay in sa1 lmao the only better parts about the gameplay are Shadow and rail grinding
sonic adventure is a fun game. But it is mechanically inconsistent. When you compare it to the razor precision and momentum physics of classic sonic, it is a huge downgrade. Dunkey's point is that Mario games improved their quality when they went to 3D, and Sonic games dropped off in quality.
@@blank-hv8xt Tho he says it like Adventure is the worst game ever and like, man, that's just not true, sure, it's clunky as all hell, but a "rough" jump to 3d, that's a f**king myth and keeps Sonic team from making good games and taking risks. This just makes the future for frontiers darker as these normies who haven't even played the 3d titles encourage Sega to make simple, Mario style games (which I love and prefer over Mario but when I want Mario, I'll play Mario)
@@folo7595 Have you taken a second to consider all of the incredible games on the GC? Just a question. Perhaps you really support that position, but I cannot honestly imagine myself ever saying that SA2 was the best game on the GC, let alone "easily" the best. There are so many amazing games, and I probably only played 20% of them. Metroid Prime 1 + 2 SM Sunshine MK: DD MP 5,6,+7 Wind Waker (Technically Twilight Princess is also a GC game) SSBM All of the Mario sports games were really good. ALL of them. ...and many, MANY others.
@@josiahferrell5022 dude it's simply a question of taste r u serious🤦and yeah to answer fast most of mario sports were boring af to me sm sunchine wasn't that bad but there were too many factors that made me just forgot about it (same with ssbm) the mp's and mk titles were great but not as entertaining as sa1 and 2

I had that game, it was really strange and super annoying babysitting those little birds every level. But as always the music was amazing.... I mean Rusty Ruin Zone's Theme is incredible
Hardly anyone had Sonic 3D Blast. It came out on the Genesis way too late, came out on the Sega Saturn, which only Japanese people had, and even if you did have it... ...Sorry, I tried to play through it on the Sonic Mega Collection, but it's just not very good.
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!
I personally didn't mind the werehog too much...EXCEPT THAT DAMN BATTLE THEME THAT PLAYS EVERY SINGLE TIME AN ENEMY SHOWS UP AND NEVER LEAVES TILL THEY FREAKING ALL DIE!
Drason Vender cool is one of the last words I would use to describe unleashed... maybe the normal levels were "decent" at best, but the werehog levels, which accounts for over 50% of the gameplay, are all dull, boring and repetitive. XD it was very interesting to see someone that prefers unleashed over colors
@@kaydenbirdwell5302 it was a reference to his sonic 3 "review", where he was at hydrocity being held by that hand before going in the waterslide and made some funny noises, SEGA took it off because it was put without the higher-ups permission

Finley you are a skilled artist and intellectual. You make me laugh and think all the time. You’ve made me happy in some of my hardest times. I just wanted to say thank you on this three year old video
Not sure why but hearing “it’s a victory for anyone who loves video games” really gets me
Same, I come back just to listen to the genuine praise he gives this game.
I had no doubt it was going to be good. The fans have known what they've wanted for years and now that they've finally handed them the reigns and listened to their ideas they finally made a new beautiful and enjoyable Sonic game for all.
Plus its very easy concept. everyone knows 2D sonic was good. the challenge is 3D sonic. it was never good. if they make it good now then maybe i will give them credit.
Sonic colors would like a word
Godzillasuperfan 1123 and generations
sonic colors was like, 80% 2D though
See, I'm probably an outlier, in that I thought that the minigames in Sonic Adventure Battle 2 were great. I loved snowboarding down the hills verses my friends. It was great. You could cheese some downhill sections after that bit on Metal sonic by using his ability. Like, the game itself wasn't great. It was kinda meh, but splitscreen was fun. 2D sonic is where it's at. I can't wait until I'm working again to get Mania.

I love these videos that are partially informative and serious and part casual and jokes thrown in. It's this perfect bland which makes it extremely engaging to watch.
Sonic adventure 1 and 2 (mainly 2) are actually great games. There popularity may not hold up to Mario 64 but regardless they’re still golden.
I’ve never met anyone who likes that game who didn’t play it as a kid. I get the impression that nostalgia goggles play a huge role in people’s enjoyment of that game.

It's cool, it's not an original comment, I just wanted people to know it existed.
as a sonic fan when a good game comes out finally after years of waiting it just makes u sad because u know what sonic can be yet they can't keep him that way
is Sonic fandom really that odd ?
With such a big hit as this it's really no surprise that Sega decided to completely pass on this surefire success and never get this team to make a damn sequel. Failure is their only option when it comes to Sonic after all.
this is a first time i have seen 5/5 rating from dunkey
Abraham linkan. What do you mean, dunkey is a very fair and lenient critic. he gave a 5/5 rating to - oh wait, no. Well how about - wait not that either. I mean at least he gave a 5/5 to - wait, that was a 3/5... hmm.
Ares90 He did give ocarina of time and banjo kazooie 5/5 in his rewievs
abraham linkan Dunk gave Pro Skater a 5/5 in a dunkview
Banjo Kazooie?
he gave ffXV a chocobo
I really want this game to be a sort of "wake up call" for Sega (along with Forces). Seeing this game take of and Forces most likely flopping, I want Sega to see how a Sonic game should be made and I don't mean Classic Sonic only; I mean the passion and desire to make what the fans want. Personally, I want a really good 3d Sonic game. I've always preferred 3d but they've been usually very subpar. They need to master the basic functions and gameplay, making sure it feels good to play instead of trying to add and innovate some unnecessary mechanic or feature that will ultimately get shot down by fans.
You are quite literally the first person I've found in the YT comments that understands this 100%. Thank you for being sane.
Benito 7 sonic generations and colours were good because they only focused on the elements that make good sonic levels i.e no conversations with humans, no werehog levels, no fishing etc. Jim sterling did a great video on it along time ago.
Benito 7 I feel like even though Forces will probably me a mess, it's giving what fans want: an outlandish fanfiction they found on deviantart including the all the most famous baddies teaming up, all the good guys working as a cohesive unit, an edgy villain with a ridiculous design, and the ability to make their OCs. It feels very tounge-in-cheek and while I probably won't buy it I look forward to the inevitable Game Grumps series where Arin screams about how the game is a bag of dicks and Danny agrees to everything he says
Sonic Forces is going to be the Sonic game that took the longest to develop in the entire series with over 3 years of development time. I'm confident the game will be good.
Sega don't have a vision for 3d sonic. Look up Sonic GDK, now that's a sonic game.

Nice
I just played through Sonic Mania, and I gotta point out that the remixed levels are so different from the originals that they actually are new levels. There are little callbacks to specific parts of stages, but they're totally different for the most part. I've beaten all of the original Sonic sidescrollers, and aside from the way the levels look, there's very little in common between the original levels and the remixed one. Great game.
Yeah I'd doubt they'll put a sonic cd level in there as is
@@pavcho2211 I don't see why they wouldn't. They put the past/future thing in the game, and Sonic CD was a good game so why not?
@@cangrejopendejo4909 CD’s level design philosophy was much different than the other classic games. The focus was more on exploration than it was speed
@@lightray9264 That's just not true. I've played through every classic Sonic game and the differences pretty much begin and end with the past/future mechanic which doesn't change the levels that much anyway.
I rewatch this video a lot just to hear dunkey talk so excitedly about something. This video radiates pure excitement and positivity.
Sonic may have topped Mario when he came out, but nothing will ever compare to the greatest character from the greatest game of our generation, and generations to come. Knack, from Knack
Funny, he never new about his voice being used as a sound effect in this game.
Fr tho, a shame its not here anymore.
“Did you look around the whole city?”
Dunkey: “No maybe I should try that!”
CamTheDestroyer yes that’s what he said
@@milky243 Indeed

Sonic Adventure 2 was the pinnacle of 3d sonic games. Great memories with that game.
It doesn't matter what you're doing whether you're playing a game on your phone, watching porn, reading. Whenever a dunkey video notification pops up you tap that shit
That good feeling when Dunkey gives a legit good small indie game the spotlight of the day it deserves :D
This is one of Dunkey’s absolute funniest videos in terms of comedic deliveries.
“This game is fucked”
“Let me show you guys how to play this real qu-”
“That level was awesome”

I hated Oil Zone it made me want to kill myself
You liked Oil Ocean in Sonic 2? Why?
Austin The Yung Walrus It's fookin fantastic now holy shiet. No seriously, the better level design and the fun gimmicks make the zone excellent.

Looks like Dunky likes SA3

Jesus Christ, a 5/5 from Dunkey?
I guess I have to get it now.
Dayne Fishwick I know dunkey is hard to please
You're _surprised_ that Sonic Mania of all things got anything but a 5/5 from anyone who's ever seen or played it (besides me)? To me it's little more than nostalgia fodder with a glossier coat of paint aimed at a fan-base with rose-tinted nostalgia goggles glued to its face. I've honestly never watched any of dunkey's reviews for other games, but even if he's got this reputation for hardly liking any game nowadays-let alone seriously give any given game a 5/5 rating, I honestly can't say that I'm anywhere near surprised that he gave this game the rating he did. It's almost par for the course in this day and age.
BlueSunStudios1 alright, let me tell you something. Sonic mania is not just good because of nostalgia. I and many other people grew up with 3D sonic games, and 3D sonic will always be great in my eyes(even if there are some bad 3D sonic games). And as a 3D sonic fan, I can tell you that it is not just nostalgia pandering. It is well made, fun, and overall a great game. I seriously recommend it to anyone who is a fan of platformers, even if you're not a huge sonic fan. I encourage you to give it the benefit of the doubt, and consider purchasing it yourself.
Dayne Fishwick didnt thought that dunkey would gave a sonic game 5/5
giorgi ustiashvili of course you couldn't

This is my favorite review not only because I also love this game but because Dunkey nailed what makes this game not only a good game but a great game. I have played all the 2-D sonic games and seeing them all mashed into this game was amazing.
Can we just acknowledge how well the video clips went with each word Dunkey was saying?
He's stepping up his game, bois!
It's DAMN?
So the rating is 7
lol
I can't believe he gave DAMN a 7

Sonic adventure was fun... And the soundtrack was killer.
Sonic Adventure is jank and dated but I still think its a decent time.
@@YoshiDude-vh4rl just as dated as mario 64
Pikmin812 Mario 64 was a masterpiece but I think having a game where you move like the flash is was probably hard to make playable
Boi I wouldn’t say masterpiece but it’s definitely good especially for the time
@@pikmin8129 I think Mario 64 does have dated elements, but I find it to be a more fun and polished experience than Sonic Adventure. But then again I'm more into Mario than Sonic, especially 3D Mario.
This games will make you feel like *Batman*
Dunkey says its good? hmmm......
*buys immediately
The flatline gag was unusually clever
“Did you walk around the whole city” dude that brought back bad memories, I had that game and never made it past that part, and it was one of the only games I had for a few years because I grew up poor
The music alone in this game is bangers for sure gonna get this game for the switch
In an alternate universe, it was Mario who fell behind Sonic. Imagine a world like that? I bet we woulda cured cancer by then.

Man what the fuck sonic adventure is an amazing game
Adventure 2 is good but the first one is pretty bad
@@gabrielrodriguez8019 you tripping bro story wise I think sa2 is superior but prefer the gameplay in sa1 lmao the only better parts about the gameplay are Shadow and rail grinding
sonic adventure is a fun game. But it is mechanically inconsistent. When you compare it to the razor precision and momentum physics of classic sonic, it is a huge downgrade. Dunkey's point is that Mario games improved their quality when they went to 3D, and Sonic games dropped off in quality.
@@blank-hv8xt Tho he says it like Adventure is the worst game ever and like, man, that's just not true, sure, it's clunky as all hell, but a "rough" jump to 3d, that's a f**king myth and keeps Sonic team from making good games and taking risks. This just makes the future for frontiers darker as these normies who haven't even played the 3d titles encourage Sega to make simple, Mario style games (which I love and prefer over Mario but when I want Mario, I'll play Mario)
I loved sonic adventure 2 as a kid, It was one of my favorite gamecube games.
It was still crap.
Literally the best gamecube game ever and easily.

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!
If you got the master of Shit-Fuckers to give the game a 5/5 you KNOW it's a good game! I'm super excited for my collectors edition now!
Zippy Ragu But it was just his opinion. You should judge the game with your own thoughts, not his.

At least Sonic Colors was good.
Meme Team Nexus And Generations. Also, Unleashed was never really a bad game. The werehog could get repetitive, but they could still be fun.
I personally didn't mind the werehog too much...EXCEPT THAT DAMN BATTLE THEME THAT PLAYS EVERY SINGLE TIME AN ENEMY SHOWS UP AND NEVER LEAVES TILL THEY FREAKING ALL DIE!
mr dark dodges, i got a bad news from all hack and slash genre
Unleashed was cool
Generations was cool
Colors was fucking boring
Drason Vender cool is one of the last words I would use to describe unleashed... maybe the normal levels were "decent" at best, but the werehog levels, which accounts for over 50% of the gameplay, are all dull, boring and repetitive.
