At that price, I'm tempted to buy it again :p

 

I bet you could get more than £18 trade in value for it still sealed.

 

I'm not really botheres that I paid more that barely a week ago because I'm getting more than my moneys worth of entertainment from It. What bothers me is that people will only be picking it up now because it's cheap first and a great game second... instead of the other way round.

If it's any consolation, I was going to get it anyway. The Play price just got me off the fence. :)

 

Though this is just a special from Plays latest sale, it's not like it's a price drop across the board.

 

Yeah this seems to be true. You can't get it this cheap anywhere else.

I love this game! This is the best Sonic game since SA2! I love the music, atmosphere but most importantly the actual gameplay itself! There are no terrible control issues or weird camera's, it all just works - and really well! Some of the level designs are amazing and I love Dr Eggmans random voice overs that play in the background every now and then. Highlight so far - ROCKET WISP!!

Has anyone tried the DS-version? Just got it as a Christmas present (even though I wished for the Wii-version) but should I be happy with it or go swap it to the Wii-version?

 

If you only have time to play one version, make it the Wii.

Just finished off the first world, and I must say it's a lot of fun, the switching between 2D and 3D is nicely done, and they have the proportions of each just right. Just taking a break to recharge my Wiimote a bit before I get back to it. BTW, what is the wifi connection for, can't be bothered to look at the manual.

Highscore boards.

 

And yeah, this is a lot of fun. The music is a bit odd, you have the typical meh sounding computerised music and then there's this mind blowingly lovely fully orchestrated stuff.

 

Surprisingly, the writing is actually pretty good too:

"This amusement park has been constructed entirely out of a sense of remorse for my past transgressions and is in no way associated with any sort of evil plot or premeditated misdeeds." -Dr Eggman

Ah, I only have a couple of A ranks! What's your strategy?

 

Being really good :p

 

Seriously though, not getting hit so you have lots of rings helps. Each ring gives you 200 in the level and then 1000 points at the end if you still have it. Obviously going fast helps too. But also key is abusing wisps. They dole out shed loads of points. Like when using the drill, every couple of seconds, you get 4000 points or so just for being in that form. And It's more than the points you get for the quicker stage time by not bothering with them.

 

On some levels, the only way to amass enough points for S is to use, say the spikes wisp, and just sit there whilst the power bar slowly drops.

 

Now there Is a limit to that and if you look under the score, it will say in red writing about no time bonus and that's the bonus points for the time in wisp form and not, as I first thought, that you get no bonus points for time when you complete the stage.

 

Red Rings also give 30,000 points each and that's another way to bag easy points.
