It looks a bit out of place in Episode 2, to me. Now that the physics are improving, reliance on the homing attack should be lessening.

I also hate it when you've rolled up a ramp snit changes to that stupid falling animation.

WE. DON'T. WANT. A. HOMING. ATTACK.

Now strawberry float off.


A decent replacement could be a Sonic & Tails combo move a la the Rolling 69, involving Tails batting Sonic at a target with a swing of his tails. It wouldn't be used as often and would make Tails seem more useful.

A decent replacement would be strawberry float all.

We should migrate GRcade to Flarum. :toot:

So don't use it. Simple. The game doesn't seem to be forcing it this time.



Own both Episode 1 and Episode 2 and you get to play Metal Sonic running through Episode 1's zones with entirely new level designs and, one assumes, Episode 2's physics etc. Hopefully that means a re-release of Episode 1 for normal Sonic is on the cards.

The game's designed for the auto-attack though, you have no choice but to use it.

Episode 1 might be, but I doubt Episode 2 is.

I don't understand how they can get the physics so spot on in Generations but struggle so much in Sonic 4...

Still, this certainly looks better than the first instalment. May just have to pick this one up!

Erm, the physics in generations are still gooseberry fool, in fac I'd go as far to call generations gooseberry fool bar a few levels at the start. I've been playing sonic 3+knuckles over the past few days and it brings home just how crap sonic games have become.

Official Xbox Magazine US has its review up now:

Sonic’s long-time sidekick can’t make the smattering of water stages less frustrating, as the time limit to swim freely has seemingly shrunk while a computer-controlled Tails can actually steal your air if he’s closer than you to a bubble (despite him not needing it)

I'll be still getting it. :simper: Enjoyed Ep1

Not looking forward to underwater levels, though. Always hated them, even Mega Drive ones.

Bad english, sorry.

I'm saying that it's odd you telling me that I need to get "help". Yet you're so upset over my decisions what games I want to buy and play; and on top of that you manage to break drum kit for Rock Band back in day, which means huge of money gone down shitter by breaking it. Oh that and Dark Souls incident.

So, rich from someone who may need "help".
