Do you need the Kinect in order to play this game? If so, then this will be the first Sonic game in a while that I won’t be picking up on lanuch day and wait for a price drop.

Oh well, atleast I have Colors and Sonic 4 to look forward to.

Yes, Kinect is required to play this game.

I hope this will realease for the Wii cause it was orginally made for Nintendo systems. PS2 doesnt count so.. screw Xbox 360! >.<

Not only does hardly anyone have the Kinect, but I could tell that multi-player for this game will be a mess. If it were optional to use a CONTROLLER at least, than the game would be GREAT!

Posted by Sonic52789 on August 31st, 2010 at 2:22 pm

Comment # 32

This crap becuase it’s on xbox 360 which is crap which makes the game crap. I’m a sonic big one too but this? Please make it on Wii!!!!!! Or PS3 with playstation move and without for controller play. And if it were coming out on PS3 don’t make it 3D, 3d is shit I’m not going to buy a 3D tv and playstation 3D glasses just so I can play it. I have really, really good working HDTV with HDMI I’m not spending over 3 grand or less to buy a dumm shity 3D TV!!

I’m super excited, oh and SONICTH18 it CAN be used on the older Xbox 360, “Kinect Ready” doesn’t mean you need the new Xbox 360 it just means you have to do more installing on the old version.

But I’ll buy it to test my Kinect!

Like others have said, I won’t be getting Kinect, I’d buy this for Wii for sure.

I bet it’s exclusive due to a contract, nothing else makes sense since it doesn’t make sense sales-wise.

@Colin: Actually the PS2 DOES count. The PS2 and the original Xbox has the game so both of them count.

Comment # 44

Yeah, I seriously want this game, but I don’t think I’ll be getting it…

All the stuff said about Kinect and the 360 has kinda turned me off from buying one…

But I still REEEEEEEALLY WANT THIS GAME!!!! Please make it for the Wii!

Its funny how the XBOX owners didn’t complain about Secret Rings and Black Knight being exclusive for the wii yet when they get an exclusive the wii fanboys complain XD
(I agree it would have been good for wii but their trying to take things up a notch………)

CRY MORE SONIC FANS CRY MORE BUT GUESS WHAT? SONIC WILL CHANGE AS TIME GOES BY …..Seriously deal with it and stop playing sonic games and leave the fanbase :/

I for one am excited about this game ..but I just wish u could use the controller instead \:
IM GONNA LOOK LIKE A IDIOT PLAYING THIS XD DX

Hmm, I counted 11 posts here that at the very least would prefer a Wii version period, not even counting those who don’t have a 360 period, and not counting those who do but don’t want Kinect.

Try to keep things simple for the cover? Remind me of the Mario Kart Wii Cover because it was a simple design so that zou might get the idea.
I just hope that some old Sonic Characters are added. Ill laugh to see Nack in the game!

Comment # 60

Yeah like most of you I wouldn’t get Kinect for one game. Maybe if SEGA makes plans another Sonic game while this is still being made and Sonic Colors is out I’ll get it.
From now on I will go by the screen name I started but some people beat it to me on CP: Sonic Hog

50 bucks?! That’s just not right. The fact that it’s exclusive to Xbox 360 isn’t right, either.

Comment # 70

@SONICTH18…..Sorry but i disagree WII owners have had “Sercret Rings” and “Black Knight” (THE SONIC/MARIO OLYMPIC SERIES),SSBB

XBOX OWNERS HAVE HAD ONLY SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2006 AND UNLEASHED
(PLUS THE PS3 OWNERS 2)

THEY DESERVE THIS MORE

WII FANS GET TO HAVE SONIC COLORS AND SONIC 4 …
XBOX OWNERS GET SONIC 4 AND SONIC FREE RIDERS
PS3 OWNERS SONIC 4 ONLY

XBOX DESERVES THIS TITLE MORE THAN THE WII
PS3 OWNERS DESERVE MORE SONIC GAMES….

Posted by Truesonic on September 3rd, 2010 at 1:46 pm

Comment # 72

Im not saying all the titles im just saying this one should continues its releases on wii
but where im getting at is that if a Sonic gets on Xbox and is on the Wii too we get a Downgraded version of the one on other consoles….(actually…that happens alot with Wii)…why dont the developers put the same material on wii than a downgrade from the rest of the consoles (Sonic Unleashed for example)

Posted by SONICTH18 on September 3rd, 2010 at 4:43 pm

Comment # 74

I get wat ur saying but….
the do the developers even ATTEMPT to make the Wii version match up to the other 2 consoles?….
its just not fair

@SONICTH18

Well Sonic Team worked on he PS3/XBOX Verison (THE BETTER VERSION)
While Dimps who also worked on (The Sonic Advance Series 1-3/Gameboy and The Rush Series on DS) Worked on the Wii Version (Which was crap IMO)

But Now SEGA are making it up to the wii owners by giving them Sonic Colors
YET SOMEHOW THE WII VERSION GOT BETTER SCORES BY REVEIWS BUT I STRONGLY DISAAGREE WITH THEM

HERE ARE THE DESIGNERS/ARTISTS

Sonic Team
Dimps (Wii/PS2 Day time level design)

Yoshihisa Hashimoto (Director/Lead Designer)
Toshiyuki Nagahara (Wii & PS2 Director)
Takashi Iizuka & Shun Nakamura (Level Design Special Thanks)
Takao Hirabayashi (Lead Planner/Night Time Level Designer)

Sachiko Kawamura (PS3 & Xbox 360 Art Director/Publicity Artwork)
Hideaki Moriya (PS2 & Wii Art Director)
Yuji Uekawa (Publicity Artwork)

HOPEFULLY THIS WILL BE GOOD JUST LIKED THE OTHER GAMES
SONIC AND THE SECRET RINGS-GOOD
SONIC RUSH/RUSH ADVENTURE-AWESOME
SONIC RIVALS1/2-COOL XD
SONIC ADVENTURE-AWESOME
SONIC ADVENTURE 2-EXCELLENT
SONIC HEROES-COOL
SONIC AND MARIO AT THE OLYMPIC GAMES-AWESOME
SONIC AND MARIO AT THE OLYMPIC WINTER GAMES-AWESOME MUCH BETTER THAN THE FIRST XD
SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG-AWESOME SO BADASS XD
SONIC UNLEASHED-THE BEST 3D SONIC GAME EVER
SONIC AND THE BLACK KNIGHT-AWESOME
SONIC AND SEGA ALL STARS RACING-THE BEST 3D RACING GAME EVER
(MUCH BETTER THAN MARIO KART

GAMES IM LOOKING FORWARD TO;
SONIC 4(EPISODES)

REASON: BECAUSE ITS ON KINECT IF THEY HAD OPTIONAL FOR CONTROLLER THEN IT WOULD HAVE BEEN FINE FOR ME >_>

And FYI to all who complain about my comment, I HAD a 360 so I know first hand what a rip off Microsoft is. The ONLY reason to get a 360 is Halo. That is IT.

Even though it’s outdated, try making Sonic Free Riders for the PS2′s Eyetoy. It’ll make every PS2 fan happy. And plus, it will end the PS2′s Sonic games even better than Unleashed!
