So recently Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric/Shattered Crystal came out. And man the game seems to be really terrible from what I've seen from game walkthroughts/let's plays, reviews, and opinions. A lot of people are saying that this game is as bad as Sonic 06 and are even comparing it to it. And you know something is wrong when you compare something to Sonic 06. But I can see why Sonic Boom is getting a lot of hate. The gameplay looks really repetitive to the point where it makes the Werehog combat in Sonic Unleashed look better. The models do not look polished at all. They still look like they could use more work and development. The stages and boss battles don't look all that fun at all. Especially the  final boss fight with Lyric which looks to be one of the most disappointing boss battles in the Sonic series. Even Cobanermani456 said that the game was complete crap in his last gameplay video of Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric. And I have to agree with him, the game kinda  looks rushed. I really wish BRB spent more time on this game to be a bit more enjoyable. Because I hate how the characters talk every five seconds and try to make everything a joke. BRB tried too hard to make the dialogue funny. They really did a horrible job with developing this game. It makes me glad I wasn't one of the people who bought it on launch day becuase it did not look like it was worth $60.00. I'll gladly wait until it's in the bargain bin at a much cheaper price.

Oh god, Zero Gravity I got up to the very last boss and could never do it.

 

I forget what it was called, but it came out like two years ago.

 

Then it's probably Free Riders (I think? )

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed actually.

I tried the first All-Stars Racing, it was fun to play as Tails

 

But I haven't tried Transformed yet

It was okay.

I knew those games were going to be bad. I'm not going to waste my money on them. 

Not really I've played some licensed games on the Ps2 that are more fun and functional than this

 

Like THIS one for example

 

(Note:I'm talking about the game based on the 4kids cartoon not the later movies)

 

This underrated game was actually fun and good back when Konami still had the rights for the Ninja Turtles games 

 

Btw both this and boom are beat em ups with some platforming elements yet this old 2002 Ps2 game is more fun and functional than Sonic Boom

 

Sure the graphics of this TMNT game look like shit but this is an early Ps2 game and yet it's more fun than Sonic Boom

Sonic Boom reminds me more of this

 

 

A game that I absolutely despise

that's not the point

obviously good licensed titles exist, but they're the exception, not the rule

Still that doesn't mean I should eat the shit when I see it

 

Just because it's the norm that licensed games are bad doesn't mean I should accept low quality.Sure Boom is based on a TV show but don't forget that the TV show is also based on a video game......this pisses me off when it comes to Sonic because even though they got the formula right in Sonic Generations and that worked wonderfully they chose to say:Nope let's go back into rushing our games once again and abandon the good idea we've just established

 

At least Sonic Lost World,despite being average,was much more fun and has much more production value than this game

my point was never that Boom is good enough to buy, it's that it's not shit. it's more or less functional, it's bigger sin is being boring

Boring doesn't equal good

 

I was using "Shit" for exaggeration

 

All I'm saying is that Sonic Boom is not a good game
