Sonic Rides a Skateboard, Crushes Hopes and Dreams

August 8, 2011

Here, check this out. If you're a fan of Sonic the Hedgehog, you should probably have you head checked. Wait a second, let's back up a second. I can understand if you still have a fondness for the blue blur. Sonic Generations is truly one of the best shots at bringing Sonic back to his former glory… even if SEGA is copying classic 2D Sonic levels pixel for pixel.

OK, OK, watch:

Things start out fine. The… "newer" Sonic levels play out as expected (which is to say they play out terribly). The 2D levels look great (and they sound great), but then Sonic… starts riding… a skateboard! A F***ING SKATEBOARD!!!

NO! Don't do this to him! Please! What's wrong with you, SEGA?!

I attended San Jose State University and graduated in 2010 with a Bachelor's in English and a Minor in Journalism. I've been playing games my whole life and will continue to do so as long as they stay entertaining! Some of my favorite games include Team Fortress 2, Battlefield 3, Star Fox 64, Batman: Arkham City, Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, Counter-Strike: Source, Super Mario Bros. 3, Kirby's Dream Land, and the list goes on.
