Comments on: Sonique http://www.jrhunt.co.uk/2006/03/01/sonique/ No longer as ironic as originally intended.

After that it's all be confusion and disappointment, and new characters that don't make much sense. Sonic Rush is quite close to the earlier sonic games, so it's actually a lot more enjoyable than, say, anything on the gamecube, but it still has some of the more recent crap in, like how Robotnik is called "Eggman" to keep it the same as the Japanese continuity. As the kind of guy who owned a SNES, I can't help feeling partially vindicated, but there's very little joy in defeating a weakened foe. Having seen the quality of sonic games over the last few years I do agree that maybe someone needs to hurry him along to the "special zone," if you get my meaning.

I didn't think I'd live to see the day that sonic would be sold out to nintendo. I remember seeing the original sonic on the mega drive and being blown away by the graphics and feeling bitter for, at the time, only having a master system. Sonic seems to be going the way of an aging gock group, great in their day, but living on their past reputation. Maybe it should be time Sonic and his merry critters were put down.
