Sonic the Hedgehog topic

With SA2's being IMO way too dark for a game starring a Blue Hedgehog fighting a fat guy.

ehh... I don't agree with this, yeah there are some moments that are kinda dark like maria getting shot, but every game that was made for younger audiences have dark moments in them. Like Zero and Zero-Two bleed in a KIRBY game, and The entirety of Majora's Mask. I think the game you were looking for is Shadow the Hedgehog, and still the tone is darker than other sonic games but it does a darker tone good and still doesn't take itself to seriously unlike '06 or Shadow.

I do think though, if they were to add Chao content into a future Sonic game, they should have online matches and so forth. It would give it vastly more replay value.

SA2 is the game that Eggman pulling a gun on a 12 year old girl's head in demand for a chaos emerald.
SA2 is the game that had Eggman negotiating with the president and he BLEW UP HALF THE MOON. (which gets better next game)

SA2 is only marginally better than Shadow the Hedgehog's plot.

[Mr. X]

Actually, SA2 is really the only game to deal a lot more with death and its tone is overall darker than Shadow the Hedgehog's tone.  Shadow's story is still darker than it should be, but the bigger crime there is that it's plain stupid what with completely rewriting Shadow's history, rewriting Gerald's history, and being filled with beyond mind-numbing stupid moments (There's a mission where a hedgehog with a gun chases the President's plane attempting to blow it up and presumably kill him.  Think about this).  It's like an edgy story written by a 5 year old.  SA2's plot is more an edgy story written by someone who forgot exactly what game this was.

But SA2 will always be the game that made me realize Sonic was awesome~

Also, I've been getting around to finishing all the games I got part-way through and quit, so I'm going through Sonic Colors currently.

The dialogue.

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[Mr. X]

I like the Colors dialogue.  It's light-hearted and fun, like Sonic should be.  Plus, it doesn't sound like amateur hour on the first day of acting school.  The voices may have fit the characters, but in terms of acting in the Adventure series, it was pretty well terrible.

...which is still better than the 4kids era where they couldn't act AND the voices didn't fit.

Rapper Hunnid-P, who is the man behind the notorious Knuckle’s theme in Sonic Adventure 2, has revealed via Youtube that he’s working on a new Knuckles theme for an upcoming Sonic project. We revealed this morning that Sega, or a third-party, has been registering numerous domains for Sonic Adventure 3, so maybe this information ties in with that.

    “I’ll have some new Knuckles music as soon as Sega and I work on this new project for Sonic so stay tuned!”

OH
SHIT

Hearing this is making me excited one way or another.
If it's Sonic Adventure 3, that would be awesome. If it's not Sonic Adventure 3, I eagerly await what SEGA could come up with.

[Mr. X]

Yeah, I heard about that weeks ago.  I'm hoping his vocal cords fall out before he has a chance to do anything, because the rest of the soundtrack is good but damn are Knuckles' theme and level themes awful.

[Yuri Sakazaki]

Personally, I hope this is true, because Knuckles Raps is the only kind of rap I can actually tolerate.

[Ivory]

I liked Knuckles Theme is SA1 and Pumpkin Hill the most.

[Gumballtoid]

Death Chamber was a personal favorite of mine. I also quite enjoy his Sonic Adventure 2 theme.

In complete contrast, I loathe much of the music from Rouge's stages; namely, Mad Space.

[LlamaHombre]

Death Chamber's level is the only level in the entire game I have trouble with nowadays.

Also minus Unknown from M.E. I love every single song in the soundtrack so incredibly much

Knuckle's level raps have always been goofy and I love them for that. In cutscenes I enjoy Knuckles's theme, I just can't really stand listening to it when I could be listening to say, Throw It All Away.

SA1's Unknown from M.E. kicks ass though and I recommend you give it a listen if you haven't already though

[Mr. X]

In my opinion, Unknown from M.E. from SA1 falls into so bad it's good territory.  SA2's is just a trainwreck though.

Then again, I also hate Throw It All Away too so bleh.

[Gumballtoid]

Really, my favorite out of all of the character themes is E.G.G.M.A.N.. I like most of them a lot though, except for Fly in the Freedom and My Sweet Passion. They're difficult to listen to without either laughing or cringing.

Death Chamber was always a fun level, simply because there was so much more area to search, which is why that and Meteor Herd are my favorite Knuckles stages in the game. Also they made great 2P battles, on the occasions I could play it.

[Donutyoshi]

Enjoyed them all. Never actually complained about the people who composed those character themes.
