Filtered Thoughts
I still have not played Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode I, but I think the reported game-play data shows the game has replay value, and that Wii owners are continuing to play it.
The game's average hours "Per person" have increased by almost 2 hours, while the "Times" played have almost doubled, since November of last year.

A title I've thought about purchasing several times - my younger two are both huge Sonic fans. Just never got around to it...
ReplyDeleteYeah, I put over 20 hours into this, I believe.
ReplyDeleteMost of that was going for respectable Time Attack runs, but the game can be short (as -any- platformer based Sonic) if all you wanna do is see the credits roll. Even on that basis, $15 is cheap for a basically full 2D Sonic title.
I haven't played any Sonic for awhile, so I'm looking forward to Sonic Generations 3DS. I have a feeling that it might be the first 3DS title I pay $30+ for, if it doesn't have a sale around it's release.
I'd have to check that time again, but I didn't get much out of unlocking Super Sonic, personally. It's just several levels more open-ended as far as uncovering faster paths; you have to choose if you wanna take a route that lets you collect 50 rings faster, you have to choose when to activate it (a process that takes about 4 seconds of precious time), and there's a lot of air travel without being able to get a sense of where you are from the grounds layout. It's extraordinary to think that the youtube videos of fast runs with Super Sonic were done genuinely (without computer assistance), if that's the case.
ReplyDelete@Chalgyr:
ReplyDeleteI just wonder how many episodes are going to make this up, or if Sega will just keep releasing them as they see fit.
@WesFX:
Interesting about the Super Sonic, as I hadn't heard about it.
As for Sonic Generations 3DS...and your 3DS, how are you enjoying it so far?
Thank you both for the comments/feedback1
Nice, that's helpful for me!
