If people wonder why so many are still in love with Sonic well into their adulthood, it's because of cool ass shit like this that you experienced as a kid.
That and Sonic and friends as characters and just their...awesome character designs. Seriously. I doubt none of the other iconic platformer characters managed to top Sega in terms of character designs.
It's about to go down! The opening cutscenes for this level are probably among the best cutscenes Sonic games have ever had. Shit definitely was about to get real.
Easily one of the best stages in Sonic history. Most other base levels have you just beating up a few of Eggman's lackies in one of his many fortresses. Here? You're charging headfirst into his fucking armada and tearing his ships to shreds. THAT'S how you build up for a final battle!
Soopa Derpcat lol you kids always say Eggman is faster than sonic when sonic actually let's Eggman get away to have more fun. Also I'm the strongest person in the world watch the world think Dwayne Johnson is stronger than me when he's not lol he only fights retards especially and fast and furious lol
In real life, that many ships flying would possibly be such a huge threat for the entire world. Millions to billions of people’s lives would depend on Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles.
The Absolute presentation and intro in I this stage.. The way it builds up speed and doesn't actually reveal the altitude or the magnitude of Eggmans fleet until you are at the peak of the jump.. The music the asthetic... Absolutely amazing..
Forget the Adventure games! THIS was the best 3d Sonic game! Multiple playable characters, combat that isn't just "homing attack to win", great level design, fantastic music, a level structure similar to the Mega Drive games, and no overdramatic story that no one cares about to drag things down! Just pure Sonic, from start to finish! I hope this gets re-released on Steam one day!
Sa2 hasn't aged well. It used to be my favorite sonic game until I played it again recently. it was full of bugs and glitches, the gameplay was god awful (especially the shooting and hunting levels), and the voice acting was just atrocious. Sonic heroes has its share of flaws but its game play is by far more polished, and more fun, and the voice acting (while still not perfect) has made a major improvement since its predecessor. Even though Sa2 isn't perfect it will always have a place in my heart though.
I love this game and SA 1 and 2 almost equally, can't say the same about other games tho Gameplaywise: SA1 for speed and variety SA2 for challenge SH for everything Story, character interactions and world design are important to me though. Adventure games NAIL them and Heroes does a pretty good job with story and is flawless with character interactions, specially with in-game dialogues
Oh my god the level design in this game is fucking bad, it loves to stop you at every moment and crawl to a halt to take down the same enemies over and over again while mash a to move onto the next segment to do it all over it again. This stage just happens to be the least poorly designed. It's no shadow or 06, but this game is pretty fucking bad.
Loved the design in this level, sure some parts repeat itself a little but the level is so lively, always busy, something's always happening, one of my favourite sonic levels!
I played this level just yesterday and damn you really feel like you’re taking down the fleet on your own, and it just feels so empowering. I remember seeing a video on sonic music, how it usually deviates from the norm in terms of final boss/level music. Instead of coming off as big and intimidating, it’s made to make you feel like badass
"Muahahahaha! You fools must all have a death wish!" "Witness this invincible battleship, built by the hands of a genius!" "Its power...unmatched throughout the universe!" "Alright, Eggman...Let's get this party *started!* "
Whoever came up with this stage, design, layout and everything needs to be praised. Take a moment and realize that we're running through and destroying Eggman's fleet of battle airships 1 after another with 3D and 2D side scrolling segments and badass as fuck music
I like how you can just look out at the level background and see the Earth's horizon and cloud cover below you, really gives a sense of scope of how High you are. The fact that this level takes place in the uppermost levels of the atmosphere, while the only footing being giant flying enemy battleships that surrounds you, and you're just hopping from one to the next in high speed... Makes Egg Fleet one of the most memorable levels in any Sonic game - in any game, ever. I wish more levels in videogames were like this one, the absolute feeling of freedom of just jumping around at high speeds up there, even though it's such a linear level.
Nah fr seeing the purple stingray ship below you I used to always think there was a way to get to that ship because of how cool it looked! Hits me like a wave of nostalgia
Sonic: Sure are lots of battleships. Tails: Where'd they get so many! Knuckles: They really went overboard! Sonic: Charge! Tails: Yeah! Knuckles: Here we go!
if Sonic attacks easily break rocks and steel, there's no Sonic Proof Armada because Steel is one of the most resistant materials, and the ramps, rails, springs are just there to make a nice gameplay, Eggman doesn't really put them there!
Holy shit what a way to start a level! Sonic and his team running forward with badass music in the background. “Alright Eggman. Let’s get this party started.” Badass!
This was my first game ever and i had a lot of troubles with some stages on team sonic story like lost jungle or bullet station, so when i reached this stage wirh every other team i was so excited to reach for it on the team sonic stage
I used to be really intimidated by final stretches of a game, like the difficulty would absolutely decimate me And I had my fair share of deaths in this level, but man that intro made me think I could win if I just believed I could
This has to be the most epicest sonic games out there. But this was also where sonic's friends became more useless, look at tails' fucking super form, what the fuck is that
Amy Rose: I wonder if Sonic is here too? Big: Fish-shaped ships make me wanna go fishing. Charmy: Look at all those ships! I wonder if we take one? Cream: I wonder if Eggman will give Chocola back? Espio: Flying ships... How mysterious. Knuckles: Let's find Eggman's flagship. Omega: Eggman's presence has been detected. Commencing pursuit. Rouge: According to our intel, Eggman's somewhere on this ship. Shadow: There's no doubt now. Sonic: Look at all those ships... All fleets must have been called out. Tails: It's impossible to destroy them all. We have to find the command flagship. Vector: Eggman must be really rich. Wonder if he'd hire us?
This awesome stage being remake with the "Unleashed" treatment, could have been INSANE!!! In fact, the intro armada that appears in this stage, reminds me, and resembles a bit the opening from Unleashed.
I liked Bullet Station more than Rail Canyon, because SCREW THE RAIL PHYSICS IN THIS GAME. Plus, Bullet Station was just plain Awesome! I'm still only at Frog Forest in my first playthrough though, and I don't play it that often due to it being at a friend's house.
