About The Game:
Sonic the Hedgehog is a video game franchise created and produced by Sega. The franchise centers on a series of speed-based platform games. The protagonist of the series is an anthropomorphic blue hedgehog named Sonic, whose peaceful life is often interrupted by the series' main antagonist, Doctor Eggman. Typically, Sonic-usually along with some of his friends, such as Tails, Amy, and Knuckles-must stop Eggman and foil any plans of world domination. The first game in the series, released in 1991, was conceived by Sega's Sonic Team division after Sega requested a mascot character. The title was a success, it spawned many sequels, and it transformed Sega into a leading video game company during the 16-bit era in the early to mid 1990s.

While we are on the topic of nostalgia, remember a time where you were already considered a gamer when you said "I like video games"? A time where there was no such thing as "casuals" vs. "hardcore players"? A time where people wouldn't shit on each other for liking different games and where a conversation between two gamers pretty much went like: "OMG you play games too? Niiiicceeeee! Wanna come over to my house and have a round of Smash Bros/Street Fighter/Mario Party/ (other popular 90s titles)?" ......... The 90s ladies and gentlemen.......... what have we done?

@charleswillhite5375 6 лет назад

I don't think anyone likes Big THAT much. It was a shame that one of the two times he was playable was a "terrible fishing game" as people say. (I haven't played it.) Personally, I think more people would have liked him if he was implemented into the games better.

@charleswillhite5375 6 лет назад

If I were to rate myself on the scale you described Oxymoron, I would but myself between "casual" and "hardcore," but I really don't like using those terms to describe what type of gamer I am. I am a gamer, plain and simple. I can't even think off a time I would use those terms outside of game difficulty.

I commend you for despite the massive amount of stress you put yourself through, not shying away from your passion but instead trying even harder to stick with it than anyone ive ever seen.

@BlindMelonLord 6 лет назад

graywolf the 45th I wholeheartedly agree with you. I wish they would renew it and bring it back. But I think the reason why it’s been canceled, is what you’re seeing in the comment section here. Everyone probably roasted it so much, that the creators just said nobody likes it, let’s pull it off of TV. When in fact I’m sure there are many people who liked it, and enjoyed watching it, more than there were people hating it and saying it was bad. And by roasting in saying it’s bad, I’m talking about the people who are crapping on the 3-D games. Yes there were some bad ones, but there were some good ones too. And the fact that people are forgetting about other games that exist in the sonic universe. TLDR, the naysayers are the fact that the show isn’t on TV anymore.

@poop-kh7ir 6 лет назад

@furyberserk 6 лет назад

The show's not that great. It's okay, but there isn't much substance. They don't really do anything interesting or live in an interesting world, where the main characters are the most interesting. I'd prefer it that a lot of random characters also had special abilities or something, but just focused on Sonic. It's not bad, but a lot of missed potential. But that's just me.

There's also bandwagons when it comes to the 3D games, one moment Sonic Adventure is good, the next, it's "just as bad as the other 3D games ", you would be tired of all this BS.

And the only reason you hear about the Adventure series is because they were the first 3D Sonics after the Sprite base games and no one wanted a more 3D Sonics. The appeal wore off is the best way I could explain it. They might not of been bad but that's not what people wanted from Sonic.

People really need to learn to LISTEN. So many people who enjoy modern sonic games are getting up in arms over absolutely nothing. He never said modern sonic sucked, he never said modern sonic was terrible. What he basically said is that the modern sonics are not very stable, sometimes they are pretty damn good sometimes they are just meh and then other times its more like "WTF IS THIS?!" He also said something to the extent of "Some of them came close to being as good as the older games" which means he admits that some of the modern sonic games were pretty good. Yeah he still said they aren't as good but he absolutely did not say all modern sonic games were trash. People are allowed to have opinions, stop acting like someones opinions are somehow victimizing your own, they aren't especially in cases like this....he didn't even attack modern sonic you are just making it SOUND like he did...do you NEED to feel like your opinions are being attacked? because they arent.

@fpberserk4690 4 года назад

You fail at justifying hypocrisy. If being "unstable" is a great issue then that logic easily applies to the classic games,borderline bad level design and several game breaking bugs is far from being different or better than what the modern games have. Again,putting the classics in such a high place is hardly being fair or giving a real review instead of a biased opinion ,games like Generations and Unleashed are easily on par with most of the classics. Having an opinion isn't an excuse for that,the opinion excuse cab easily be used against him.Without mentioning that it still won't justify the Classic Games dickriding.

@rarm5899 6 лет назад

Gotta love all the butt hurt fans in the comments mincing Jirard's words to make it seem like he hates every Sonic game since the first few. "Good" does not equal "amazing" or "truly incredible". Good does not mean trash. Matt even says "...there's been a handful of stand out Sonic titles since the good old days and a few have them have even come really close to recapturing the magic of those first few classic game, but none of them have been quite able to match the style or quality of the games...". As he called the first few "amazing" it's hard to argue that any future Sonic game reached those heights. There's no doubt that some of them were good or even great, but maybe not on the same level as the classics. And this folks is what we call an OPINION. You don't have to agree with it. You can think the classic games are terrible and that's fine. But that doesn't give any prick the right to disrespect others views, no matter how unpopular it may be. I don't like the classic games. I don't like the Adventure games. Does that mean I'm not a "true" Sonic fan? Fuck no. I'm very interested in the series, otherwise I wouldn't be here. I know this is a lot to ask for on the internet, especially with Sonic. But I'm insane, and sick and tired of seeing all the same shit on every Sonic Mania/Forces video.

Having picked up two copies of this (one for PS4 and one for PC) - I really enjoyed this game. I've still not completed all of it as of yet, but I definitely intend to do so. Awesome video as always Jirard!

This is thee first video I’ve watched on my birthday today. It’s my 23rd and the first words I’m greeted with are “23 years, it’s been 23 years!”

I feel bad now. All we want from Sonic is a trip back to the past, while his rival, Mario keeps evolving. Sonic's evolution to 3D is not as smooth as Mario, sure, but we need to let Sonic grows rather than letting him forever be a pixel nostalgic trip.

@MrSuperspeedsonic 6 лет назад

I don't want to being rude and I not want the guy that did this video feel sad. But I don't like that we need to always put a Sonic game down only for put others over it, You know what? Yes, Sonic Mania is awesome is super awesome but I still like a lot 3D Sonic, And you know what? I still want Sonic 3D games a lot And you know what? Yes Sonic has bad games, But dude I only would say the realest bad games are 06 and Ryse of Lyric. Please people enjoy Mania and don't put other games down, I am sure there is group guys that will prefer a Sonic 3D instead of Mania. Good day everyone

It's actually good to see a classic franchise go back to its roots. This, along with Crash (no need to get competitive) finally received the treatment it needed, although I personally wish that the Crash remasters had some new levels.

The dream: when that game you loved as a child, instead of reinventing itself, simply grows up with you. Maybe others grew up with Sonic Adventure, Sonic Racing, etc., and that's cool. For those of us who grew up with Sonic 1, 2, and 3, and Sonic & Knuckles, all we really ever wanted was for that same series to pick up where it left off. Give us our pinball machine 2-D gameplay, give us our throw-caution-to-the-wind roller coaster loops and obstacles, give us our funky maybe-or-maybe-not-Michael Jackson instrumentals, give us cameos from those obscure characters you promised us (I saw that Hornet truck!), and give it to us all... over... again. But better. That's the formula. We will always light up like kids on Christmas when they stick to that formula.

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!

José Daniel Cabrera Medina we don't know yet. I'm excited for Forces, but it hasn't come out yet, we won't know if it'll be good. There's a chance, but there's no guarantees.

@jdcabrera9646 6 лет назад

Tanner Price I know a lot about these things. Forces has a high chance of ending being great. The problem is that Mania is a whole different thing, it is a new kind of thing. Mania is like an Alfred Hitchcock movie, but Forces, Generations and Colors are like a Marvel movie: good but not revolutionary.

The Sonic Mania review drinking game! -take a shot every time someone says they waited a really long time for this. -take a shot every time they hate on modern sonic (double if its the obvious 06, boom, or forces joke). -take a shot every time someone brings up nostalgia pandering as a selling point. -take a shot everytime they say this is the best sonic game in years If anyone is crazy enough to try this, they WILL DIE. Regradless, any extra ideas?

@Phrygisian 6 лет назад

People, we're here for Sonic Mania, not starting arguments about Sonic's previous games! Both sides need to chill out and try respecting each other. Just let people share their opinions and have a rational discussion about it like you would irl instead of getting triggered and writing rude comments. Unless you aren't capable of doing that, in which case you shouldn't have access to the internet in the first place.
