So here is something I almost forgot to mention,around 7 hours ago,I found that my cousin had a Wii U and luckily(or unluckily) a copy of Sonic Boom he bought to play with his little brother(he was still at the beginning so he didn't mind starting again),he lives in the same neighborhood as me so I thought y'know what I'll play the game with him instead of borrowing it.We at least managed to reach I think(not sure) halfway point through the game after the game crashed on us three times,phased through the ground during the Metal Sonic battle a couple of times and the framerate dipping below 30 coupled with some stuttering,we turned the game off after that and played a bit of Pikmin 3(which I don't have btw) before I went back home with the thought of doing this lingering in my mind

 

 

 

Did I also mention the game looks like a Ps2 game.....like Crash of the Titan's Ps2's version of a game?

 

 

Incoming rant soon after SomeCallMeJohnny's review of the game

Yeah i agree. Everything about it is just terrible. From the graphics, to the gameplay, to the horrible dialogue. This game is Sonic 06 part 2.

I really need to play this game just to see how firetrucked up horrible it is. 

 

I'm hearing so many things bad about it that it might be worse than Sonic 06. (Is that even possible?!)

You wouldn't be the first to try it. Game Grumps is playing it because of how bad it is. Even I wanna try it to form an opinion. 

 

Like, Tails mentioned something that belonged to Lyric. He directly states Lyric's name and yet, we're at the point where no one has any idea who the giant snake is. Also, there's this random ass guy named Cliff that somehow knows everything about Lyric. Did I mention that Sonic and they gang already know Cliff even though this is the first time any of us are meeting him?

Seriously, your first objective after the prologue is to find Cliff. The game tells you to find Cliff, Sonic and co. know Cliff, but you have no directive as to who or what Cliff is and where you can find Cliff. Also, Cliff lives in a mountainous area...Cliff could have been anything by that point.

Isn't Sonic Boom some spin-off game to cater towards that TV show they are doing? I'm not sure why Sonic fans (or people in general) are even comparing the game to Sonic 06 when it's not even considered a main Sonic game.

 

 

Although from what I've seen it looks abysmal.

Spin-off or not that doesn't excuse the abysmal quality since I can list  a couple of cartoonmovie tie-in games that are actually good and billion times better than Sonic Boom

Hasn't been many good Sonic games in the past decade.

Is it really that bad? I thought about getting it but now...

I dunno, basically 2008 onward was a strong upward trend for Sonic. It's only the last two games that things started to plummet again

Barry discovers problems that occurred in Sonic Boom during its Episode 1 of Game Grumps. Arin and Danny are informed of this and it happens to be the intro to Episode 7 of their Sonic Boom playthrough...The first 6 minutes of it, in fact.

Woooooooooooooooooooooow,firetrucking wow

 

But hey,at least Eggman learned Teleport without a TM I guess

So I watched Johnny's Sonic Boom review, and...

 

Holy crap, the game really is that bad

 

The 3DS version, somehow, is superior to the Wii U version (From what Johnny said)

(And OMG his outfit for the review )

The 3DS version is way better actually. Being overshadowed by it's shitty Wii U title though, it doesn't get as much attention. But the reviews for Shattered Crystal are seeing much better enjoyment and better ratings for Sonic Boom than Rise of Lyric.

Though that's not saying much when 1There is so much padding in the 3DS version(better than the Wii U version but still)

 

And 2There are better options out there considering that the entire classic series is on the Wii's virtual console alongside Sonic 1 and(maybe) 2 on the 3DS e-shop and Sonic GenerationsSonic Colors
