Incredible 06/15/23 10:31:26 PM #11:	I can see why they switched things up for Advance 2, though. Advance 1 was kinda boring; the physics were spot on, but the game is so fucking plain with nothing really remarkable to it. I mean, don't get me wrong; it was pretty top-tier handheld game at the time, when handheld games were generally inferior to console games. It's better than all previous handheld Sonic games. And it's definitely better than any of Dimps' Sonic games that came after; it's better than Advance 2, Advance 3, Rush, Rush Adventure, Sonic 4, Sonic Generations 3DS, etc without a doubt. But it's inferior to Sonic 2 and Sonic 3K; no reason to really bother with it when you can just play those games instead. And just look at the levels Neo Green Hill (poor man's Green Hill. And did they seriously name it Neo Green Hill? LMAO) Secret Base (poor man's Metropolis Zone. LOL @ the name "Secret Base". Most generic level name ever) Casino Paradise (generic casino level) Angel Island (LOL they didn't bother coming up with a new name for this level. Angel Island was the name of Sonic 3's first level. Now it's a poor man's Sky Sanctuary) Egg Rocket (poor man's Launch Base) Cosmic Angel Zone (poor man's Death Egg) Advance 2 had more original levels (how is Music Plant not original lol) and while the increased "hold right to win" was detrimental to the gameplay, the added emphasis on speed at least worked as a novelty even though it didn't have any lasting appeal. Advance 1 is definitely the better game, but it's so average. With Advance 3, I can see that they tried to strike a balance between speed and platforming, but the team mechanics were lame. And it had some crappy level design. The Rush games are better, but they're just boost to win; novelty games that lose their appeal quickly. Rush Adventure had some crappy boat minigames and forced grinding, too. Sonic 4 Episode 1 would just be another mediocre Dimps game game by itself, but as a sequel to the Genesis games, it fucking sucks. Not surprising when it was originally gonna be a minor iPhone game called Sonic the Portable before Sega forced Dimps to make it for consoles. Episode 2 is better, but it's just mediocre; same with Sonic Generations 3DS. <cite>Incredible posted [p:974187232] in Sonic Adva...

Incredible 06/16/23 12:19:07 AM #22:	Advance 3 is maybe a tiny bit better than 2, but the level design is too trial-and-error and the team mechanics were lame. Only the first Advance is passable; 2 and 3 are the precursors to the Rush games, which are just mediocre. Boosting to win is only entertaining for so long. Rush Adventure is just more of the same crap as the first Rush, except with some crappy boat minigames tacked on. The waterbike was fun, but the other boat minigames sucked. And having to play the same levels over and over again was a dumb way to pad out the story mode. Classic Sonic's physics in Generations 3DS were definitely much better than the console version and Sonic 4. But most of the level design was terrible. <cite>Incredible posted [p:974189132] in Sonic Adva...

Vayu_The_End 06/16/23 12:41:18 AM #23:	Honestly, I feel like 2d sonic games broadly suffer from issues of trial and error. In 2D sonic games with boost mechanics, the boosts either have to be heavily controlled, the level design is "hold forward to win", or the level is trial and error. I don't think boost mechanics in 2D games leave a ton of room to be anything other than trial and error or "hold forward to win". --- "Think about the kids!"
