He's not joking. I've seen things. Terrible, horrible, things that no man should see. Sonic fans are a strange and bewildering breed my friend. :(

Sidebar: I really hope this game is good. This will be the first 2D Sonic game Sega's developed themselves in years. Now that Dimps is gone, I really hope they don't screw this up. Seems like they're following Rush 1's formula which is a plus. Music seems nice BTW.

I love how they've milked as many Dragonball references as they can, so now they're gunning for One Piece. :P Way to be original Sonic.

Dude, they were doing horrible things to Midna almost immediately after the first blurry screenshots came out. They don't even wait for the actual game to come out these days - they fap it to the concept art now.

And I wouldn't have my Internet any other way. God bless 'em.

Official site up.

Music's not bad (hate the second track though on the site, wish the boss theme was up), slightly more mellow than the first, but still wacky and Naganuma like.

Marine, which is the new raccoon, is an Aussie chatterbox -_-

Gameplay looks just like Rush, which ain't bad tbqh.

Bonzer? Bonzer?! Sega sure went back in time for that one!

What the hell does bonzer even mean?

You wacky australians and your crazy slang moon language. Also, I don't think Ken would appreciate you cooking shrimp on his plastic doll girlfriend. 8(

I guess Cindy was a little too normal of a name like Amy so they change it to Marine. Bonzer? Damn, I haven't heard that word since Rocko's Modern Life.

Agreed...hope they left the special stages untouched. Easy to find, easy to try multiple times, and a little challenging in the actual stage. They messed that up with Advance 2 where you had to find 7 special rings/emblems and then take your shot at the special stage.

They'd melt into her and she'd become some half woman half sea creature combination fried rice! Also bonzer is like 'great!' except.. confusing. ;_;

Jacked from Gfaqs/SSMB.

The gameplay from the main parts is solid, but nobody can agree on what's wrong (other than SHITTY NEW FRIENDS ARRGH). EGM is lolfail for being stuck in 1994 (well, EGM is lolfail in general, so that means nothing), but the other guys note that it could be too easy, some don't like the adventuring while others really dig it.

So far, it looks like SR fans get even more awesome, while those who hated Rush, well... why are you even here in the first place?

Sup guyz.

Main website's updated with a video

IGN: Sonic Rush Adventure Trailer, Videos and Movies

IGN has some too

Good to see EGM's still dedicating as little space as possible to actual video game reviews. I bought one issue years ago out of interest, only to discover big name game reviews got one page at the most, while the rest of the magazine was littered with adverts for jellybeans and shoes.. with jellybeans!

=TSS= Welcome to the Sonic Stadium > Home

They've got a new trailer up. Bosses look epic

Maybe we don't have a failure on our hands, mirite?

IGN's UK review is up. 9/10. Which is pretty much what they given every portable Sonic platformer over the years I think. =') Sounds good though, apparently the level designs are really good (less pits of doom?) and the 'adventure' bits don't drag things down too much. And unless I'm reading things wrong, there's two player races to the finish.. online?

looks like sonic is running the high seas! -laughs at bad joke-

I hear it's out in the UK and a few US spots have broken street date.

Wonder when the soundtrack's coming out...

Did they ever release Sonic Rush's soundtrack?

Yes they did, though likely not in America. Likely same deal here.

Arrr me mateys. I finally got me hands on this game.

Nice. The levels look nice but are on the easy side. The adventure/island surfing isn't bad at all, unless you're a 1994 purist, in which this game is a really big 'fuck you'. I kinda like that trend personally. Too bad it's easy...

...until you start playing the bosses. It's defaulted to easy, so at first they're not threatening. Then you set it to normal, start taking missions and OH MY GOD WHERE DID MY RINGS GO

Overall a nice experience so far, but I want to get further in.

This game has a touch of the original Sonic Adventure to it and that's not necessarily a bad thing. I like the levels and the bosses, the sailing parts are pretty fun and it makes a nice use of the stylus. So far so good.

Yo Supersonic! Interested in ripping the soundtrack? (Heard you have to beat the game for it plus some missions but it's there.

Is the soundtrack done by Hideki Naganuma like the previous one?

Actually... no.

Mariko Nanba and the usual crowd pseudo-emulate his style.

Well fuck that then.

o elixir u~

So guys who have played this game... how does it stack up against Sonic Rush? =o

Some of the bosses on here are just amazing. The one that's impressed me thus far is this whale boss where you have to hit the weak spot on his head, then you have to go inside of his body and hit the core.
