Sonic & Mario A Blast From the Past!

As a child of the 80’s I am a big fan of Mario Bros. and Sonic the Hedgehog. I remember playing the video games with my brother for hours of entertainment. So when I received the Mario Bros: Super Show! Off the Map and Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog: Robots Attack DVDs I was excited. My boys are familiar with these two characters because they have played my old Nintendo and also Sonic on their Playstation. My boys liked both DVDs and have watched them several times. Their favorite is Super M

5 Stars LOVE IT!!!!
BEST GAME EVER!! I LOVE ALL OLD SCHOOL NINTENDO GAMES AND THIS BRINGS OUT THE BEST IN ALL THE CHARACTERS… I CAN PLAY IT FOR HOURS

5 Stars anyone will enjoy this
Super Smash Bros Brawl is the followup to Super Smash Bros Melee. It takes all that was great about the previous game and amps it up several notches. With more to do and Side Adventures as well, it makes for a game that you can literally still play to this day and get major enjoyment and fun out of it.

Almost anyone can pick this game up and enjoy all that it has to offer. It also doesnt hurt with some new character additions, like Sonic, Captain Falcon and several others as well. Its still a fun and engaging game that all will have fun participating in.

Sonic Riders Zero Gravity

Sonic Riders Zero Gravity




The fan-favorite Sonic Riders series returns with a whole new form of chaotic racing by manipulating gravity itself! These gravity-altering powers can transform walls into tracks, or create a “black hole” that sucks you through for the ultimate speed boost, and allows for an entirely new way to gain a leg up on your competitors. From illuminated highways in a bustling metropolis to the outer reaches of space, you will race at the speed of light on 16 dynamic courses. Sixty different vehicles allow you to grind rails and pull off daring tricks on futuristic tracks, including solar loop-de-loops, height-defying vertical drops and tons of other edge-of-your-seat moves. As Sonic or one of 18 colorful characters, you will compete with up to three friends at heart-stopping speeds in three exciting multiplayer modes. With all the action, speed, and addictive game play that only Sonic can deliver, Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity is set for hyper-drive!

5 Stars Here’s a solution to those who say this game is hard…
This game is FUN and it’s a must-have for those who love Sonic the Hedgehog (like me). As I’ve read in negative reviews, many people think this game is just too difficult to play. One thing that helps for those who agree, is if you go to options and change the WII remote position to VERTICAL MODE rather than it’s default HORIZANTAL MODE. Seriously, it’s WAAAAAAAY easier to play the game that way! It’ll still take some time to get used to, but once you have it, it’ll be EASY and a total blast! I highly recommend this game and changing the WII remote settings to VERTICAL MODE. Enjoy!

1 Star Yeah, just get Mario Kart
My friend made me play this game one day. I just hated the game! I was playing great and was hitting nothing just swerving through the course until I saw that I was in last place, wayyyyyy behind. How could that happen? I was playing perfectly! My friend said I had to do some gravity thing to go faster… but that didn’t work. Now when my friend gets mad at me, he forces me to play this terrible game even though he knows that I just can’t stand even looking at Sonic.

If you want a fun racing game, get Mario Kart Wii. The courses are much better and there is a better selection of characters.

5 Stars hack link
Story 8/10: The storyline plots are still decent this time. I give the storyline a score of eight because its prequel (Sonic Riders for Nintendo Gamecube, another game I recommend) had funnier twists in the hero’s plot. You can’t really beat Amy trying to whack Sonic with her hammer as the hero ending for the prequel… The storyline for this game, however, is still great. Amy shows up and plays a slightly more important role in the plot, and she is still Sonic’s self proclaimed girlfriend. Although some humor is in the Hero storyline, you’ll once again laugh harder at the Babylon Rogues storyline, where the real humor always stands. The cutscenes themselves are better done, and don’t look choppy at all like the prequel. Finally, the story is a lot more engaging as you try to find out different secrets in the Hero’s journey, and the Babylon Rogue’s journey. Please bear in mind, however, you don’t get both storylines from the start; you have to complete the Hero’s storyline first before you get the more comedic Babylon Rogue’s story.

2 Stars Hard!
I bought this game for our family daughter 7, son 4 and us to play. It is hard! Kids can hardly play at all, and it is very difficult for my husband and I. It goes way to fast and the controls are all over the place. Save the money!

5 Stars tons of fun!
I love this game! It’s fun and it does have some flaws but it still deserves 5 stars. the story line was a little hard to follow but descently funny. turning is a little hard-but you can get the hang of it soon. the ‘gear change’ feature looked cool in the trailer but it’s basically just pushing a button and changing boards. it costs rings: bad very bad. Some characters have to be unlocked by finishing story modes and missions. Like I said the story is ok but not great you can do the story as both sonic and jet but you have to finish sonic’s point of view before you can do jet’s. and there are 3 kinds of multiplayer so you can play with your friends as a team as enemies or play mini-games which are fun. i do wish though that in story mode you could pick who you are. and the game is auto-saving so you don’t have to worry if you get through a tough level and don’t save. it’s a very good game I think it’s better than mariokart it has a lot more features vehicles and characters.

Review: Sonic Unleashed (PS3)

December 29th, 2008 Playstation Review No comments
If anybody truly needed a Christmas miracle this year, it was poor old Sonic the Hedgehog. Five months ago, we spent some time with our old blue pal at E3, taking a sneak peek at Sega’s latest attempt to revitalize the flagging franchise: Sonic Unleashed. Distancing themselves from the abysmal Sonic 2006, Sonic Team promised us an experience in the classic Sonic vein in some speedy, beautiful levels, along with some all-new brawling and platforming action through Sonic’s new “werehog” form.

Sonic the Hedgehog




Sonic The Hedgehog brings the popular character back to his high-velocity roots, for a new dimension of entertainment. In his first adventure set in the human world, Sonic meets a beautiful princess named Elise — queen of Soleanna, the beautiful city of water. When she’s kidnapped by Dr. Eggman, Sonic enters the world of humans to fight the menacing doctor to thwart his malicious plans. As he stops Eggman’s plans to destroy this special kingdom of hers, Sonic will encounter and interact with new allies and enemies, like the mysterious, supernatural Silver. As Sonic speeds through the huge kingdom, the mysteries unravel.

1 Star Don’t buy it
Awful product, as other reviewers have stated. If you want to get funny games for your kids, buy Surfs Up or Ratatouille instead.

4 Stars Sonic!!!!!!!!!!
I love Sonic games. This one is a little different than the other ones I have played. It seems a little convoluted in the city, when you have to interact with people in the streets. However, once the level begins it is the same fun, fast paced, heart pumping Sonic all over again. I really enjoy the two-player coop mode in this version. I wish they could integrate online coop mode with the game.

3 Stars Sonic Should go Back to 2D Sidescolling
If you fell in love with Sonic on the Sega Genesis, you may want to pickup the Sega compilation for the PS2. This game is a 3D open-area platformer with some RPG elelments thrown in. There are some very frustrating elements to this game…and you’ll find yourself asking yourself how you can move onto the next level because you frankly cannot figure out what you need to do.

1 Star Terrible game control
The game might not be so bad if you actually had some control over what was going on. Half the time you spent just along for the ride and trying to not crash into something, which would result in instant death of the character. The rest of the time, the camera is moving around such that you can’t see what’s in front of you and as the camera controls control where the camera is, rather than what it’s looking at, I was always moving the camera in the wrong direction (I’ve seen this particular problem many times before and it is not unique to Sonic, but it is something you should be allowed to select, like reversing the Y-axis on FPS’s). My wife and I gave up on this game after becoming frustrated with it. We buy games to have fun, NOT to see how many unique ways our characetr can be killed.

3 Stars best game ever:!!!!!!!!!!!
