Sonic The Hedgehog

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

Well, I loved Sonic Adventure 2's music just as much as Adventure 1 (to me they are on par with the Genesis games), but I agree that pretty much everything after that up to Unleashed is pretty generic and boring stuff, with maybe just a few exceptions here and there. Well, actually, '06 had some good tracks of its own (probably the only good thing it had in it, period), but they still weren't on par with the Genesis or Adventure games, IMO.

[Spark Of Spirit]

Oh, I'm not saying there were no good tracks post-Adventure 1. I like City Escape, Metal Harbor, Green Forest, Pyramid Cave, Seaside Hill, Ocean Palace, Grand Metropolis, Casino Park, Bingo Highway, and Wave Ocean a lot. But most everything else in those games I find forgettable.

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

Well, I'm just saying that I liked quite a bit of Sonic Adventure 2's soundtrack. If most of it is not your thing, that's fine. It has a lot of great tunes that I find memorable for me, personally, which is why I like it.

I agree, though I do prefer Adventure 1's OST just slightly.

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

Yeah, I'd give the edge to Adventure 1, myself, but I still think that Adventure 2 has a kick-ass soundtrack, honestly.

[Spark Of Spirit]

I would like Knuckles stage themes if the lyrics were omitted. Like this, for example. Pretty groovin'.

Seriously though, Wave Ocean is such a great track. What a shame it was wasted on such a terrible game.

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

So, what is your opinion of the Genesis spin-off games, Desensitized? I mean stuff like Sonic Spinball and Knuckles Chaotix? Are any of them worth looking into?

[Foggle]

I love Sonic Spinball. But I'm a sucker for pinball in general.

[Spark Of Spirit]

I only played Knuckles Chaotix once, but I like it even though it's hated by fans. Spinball is so hard I don't think I've ever gotten passed the first level. Honestly, I think the best Sonic spin-off is probably Sonic Battle for the GBA. It's almost like Sonic Smash Bros.

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

I've heard mixed opinions on it. I think its one of those games where you either love or hate its gameplay gimmick. I've heard some good things about it as well as bad, though, honestly. Maybe its at least worth checking out via an emulator, and if I like what I play of it I'll seek out the actual game. Has the game been ported at all, though? I know that it was released as a Sega 32X game (which is pretty lame considering that it looks like it could run on the regular Genesis without that peripheral just fine based on its graphics and physics), so I honestly can't get the original version of it, but if it was ported to some handheld or something it should be relatively easy to find.

[Foggle]

It's on Steam for $4.99. Less during Sega sales.

[Spark Of Spirit]

Everyone is hoping it'll get remade like Sonic CD was by Taxman. But otherwise, it isn't on any console or handheld collection or otherwise.

It's in Sonic Mega Collection. The GameCube version, at least (which is the one I had).

And I reckon the PC should count as a game console.

This collection? I own this, Chaotix isn't on it. As far as I'm aware, Chaotix has never been re-released in any collection.

I wish it was, since I don't like using ROMs or emulators if I don't have to.

[Foggle]

Oh, I thought he was referring to Spinball.
