THe other games were beautiful too but none of them had the same vibe. Ithink the music has a lot to do with it, the music for these games were really good

high and broken

​@@pat_pat6320 broken? Ultra exquisite

The gameplay audio actually makes the music hit harder for some reason in this case! It's great!

The soundtrack in secret rings is overrall really good

Well, that's a given. :D

"They've been torturing him for months." Yikes. That's harsh.

"Aaack" Yeah, ok.

Yeah that whole torturing for months line loses all meaning once you see sonic has been absolutely fine

That’s because the writers for this game actually gave a shit.

Wtf bro this stage is trash The wind is so damn annoying and it's overall extremely unpolished, too many things slow you down too.

@@BlueBlur2003think they mean from an art, not gameplay perspective

Oh, hi bro! Thanks! Yeah, me too, but Sonic is just not the same anymore since Unleashed, or at least Colors.

This game would have been better with Adventure Style controls and level design, tbh.

True, but then why stop at that? It should have had Adventure style level design too! :D

ArtFenixAsordis I said level design too.

Ah, sorry, missed that part)

Bruhhhhhh What's with Sega making Sonic say things like that?

FACTS

@@intoxicz Sonic '06 and Unleashed would like to have a word with you.

@@DarkShadowX9 06 are a good contestant but idk about unleashed, I played it along time ago and I don’t really remember the ost

@@intoxicz Sonic Unleashed is my personal favorite Sonic game and to me it succeeded on all fronts. I will admit that unless you play through the game multiple times the music won't stick in your head for very long, if at all. Most of it is music meant to reflect where you are in the world, and sometimes it can be a little stale until you get to the more exciting places like Chun-Nan.

Same,i like it so much:')

You ain't the only one

Griffith*, but yeah me too :(

Best sonic Voice actor EVER KNOWN!

I don’t. Roger is the better voice actor. People just don’t realize it because Sega has only ever given him shitty lines to say. Jason had better lines but he puts corny 4kids inflections on dumb parts of the line. “thAT torNADo is carryING a cAR!” All you have to do is watch Sonic Boom the TV show vs the English dub of Sonic X to see that Roger is actually the better VA.

Well of course he’s better in sonic boom, that’s where roger shines the brightest. He’s fucking PERFECT for boom sonic. Roger is a more sarcastic person, therefore that sarcasm will come across in his lines. Boom Sonic is sarcastic a LOT, so therefore Roger will naturally suit him more. However, even if roger was given the clearly superior writing from games like unleashed, it would still come across kind of corny, this being because sonic hasn’t been tweaked to how roger naturally says his lines. This is only magnified by the garbage writing of Sonic colors and onwards.

That's one of the reasons I love this world, its beautiful

Yeah 😎😎

Yeal lol

its buggy af tho

Why... This stage is garbage and so unpolished 💀

💀

The gameplay is SOOO awesome once Sonic is leveled up.

alphacomando227 yes bro

As you can see while watching this video. That's not the case. This game is very fun to play

@@dreamcastdazia4753 to be fair, this is a leveled Sonic.

@@QuestionableLogic_ yeah but you shouldn’t have to level up to play better especially in a sonic game

Kbennett 365 Nah. Bad controls can ruin game big time. If this game gave you free analog movement it would have been better.

Monkey D. "Straw Hat" Luffy Couldn't agree more. Bad controls make the whole experience not worth it and it's a damn shame too because the game shines in everything else but they really had to force the Wii remote in the worst way possible and the result is a Sonic game that just isn't fun at all. Say whatever you want about 06's lack of polish and Shadow's stupid edgy themes and mission structure but I'd rather play those games than SR simply because they allow me to control the character freely.

Dr. Cardus Exactly.

Dr. Cardus That’s what hurts about both of the storybook games, honestly. I loved Black Knight, tho.

Seriously Am I the only person that never experienced any issues with the Motion controls I mean yea would have been nice if Controller Gameplay with analog stick would be possible (especially given that the Party mode supports Gamecube controllers)

I agree!! Me and my buddies were discussing that recently and it was always between unleashed and generations until I dropped this on their heads since they had never played it lol

Idk man Unleashed speedruns are nasty

Matthew Morrison Maybe this might change your mind. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kMujdMqHtsqomXk.html

@@amazinghedgehog1247 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p7ZolNOdqbualXU.html I don't think so man... M Speed Exist and the fact that even without glitches I walked through the checkpoint going 105 Mph. Which is ridiculous because I wasn't even holding up thr analog stick or boosting. Though I gotta admit.. If I wasn't so use to Sonic games, I wouldn't know where I'm going.

Agreed easily a 9/10 sonic game aside from the controls

This was my childhood game but bro be honest this game did not age well. Level design is good mostly but the controls are not good and Sonic is way too slow for the majority of the game. 💀

If it's just a texture, that might be possible to do in Dolphin but the level itself would still have that orange shade (unless you'd change all the level's textures, which is kinda insane)

Then the Music wouldn't fit.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Starlight Carnival already a cakewalk? I just think there has to be a better example of some sort, like the Sonic Generations version of Planet Wisp.

@@siraxolot4262 I chose Starlight Carnival because it's another interpretation of the "Running on pathways of light across ships in the sky" concept that Levitated Ruin uses.

@@Ninetails2000 Fair enough, but Starlight Carnival is a walk in the park regardless.

I'm a fan of Ryan Drummond too. :)

@@ArtFenixAsordis facts he’s really good too, especially for his run of games💯

4 years later but... Secret Rings actually kind of started the formula that later Sonic games kept using. The Red Rings. The Boost. The general Level Design and Movement. I wish another game used the Skill System that this game had though. Generations comes close, but it's not quite enough. But whether you think it's good or bad, Secret Rings is the game that started the Boost Era of Sonic. Which is a little ironic, since it was developed along side the game that killed the Adventure Era, Sonic '06.

Eh, not really. You don't start out anywhere near this fast, and you can't go this fast for every mission anyway. You just have to know how to get good at the controls.

Exactly what I was thinking! 😆

It's basically a TAS. It'd be a nightmare if I tried to play it the normal way with keyboard and mouse. :D

ArtFenixAsordis Any tips for the normies without TA?

Slow down the game, lol. :D Or maybe use the real wii mote. I didn't try it as I don't have one.

more like 2006

Dolphin emulator, baby))

Я рад! =^_^= Ага, это такой единодушный консенсус насчёт управления. :D Ну и насчёт музыки тоже мнение в основном у всех весьма положительное. Всё-таки, разнообразие композиторов шло серии на пользу. Шло.

if this game controlled like generations this game would be perfect

Yes, but there are missions where you WILL need to stop and slow down, so effective braking is also a skill you want to master. The control scheme is a little wonky just looking at it, but it's easy to master when you know how to utilize the skill rings properly. Like, I only played it recently, and it feels like me and everybody else played entirely different games.

This is not Nintendo's work, this is Sega's work. And for me the controls weren't that problematic, i got used to them, but yeah it would be a lot better if we could use a joystick.

@@D00DM00D oh, now I understand sir, thanks

download dolphin emulator if you wanna play it on pc then download sonic and the secret rings rom. to control sonic you can use a actual wiimote or a xbox, switch or ps4 controller (for ps4 controller you need to install ds4windows)

Finally someone notices

Yeah, it's a TAS

Nope, it isn't a TAS. This is legit just how the game looks at Level 99. It's insanity.

Yeah, that Sonic Central was underwhelming to say the least.

@@ArtFenixAsordis That and the fact that the boss from Frontiers was really similar to this level with the light rays you run on. You can tell Frontier's is designed by Kishimoto lol

@@GameMaster0097 Honestly, I'm not convinced it's a fun game. It barely even feels like a Sonic game.

@@ArtFenixAsordis I can think with a delay, it could be a fine game. Tweak Sonic's turning, overhall Sonic's animations, speed up combat etc. But yeah, it doesn't feel like a Sonic game tho. Perhaps the Cyberspace levels we keep hearing about could be fun as well

@@GameMaster0097 gotta wait and see, not like we can do anything else at this point. I don't think they'll delay the game though - they've already sone that once or twice.
