I may never of directly seen "Blaze the Cat" in a game I've played before but I know her when I see her.

Also good point on the whole lack of a Freedom Fighter Sonic Universe game compared to all of these Fable/Story Book games

Recognizing Sonic characters

Yeah, not surprised

I can tell they were small... (Just pointing out the irony in a dickish fashion but not actually being a dick).

I'm still waiting for Sonic and The Dark Knight, as mentioned by Game Damage, to be announced.
I would say I meant to do that, but I can't make up a reason for it. I never said I was actually good at spelling :p
And yes, they were small. One of them was a copy of X-Blades... I think they may have actually been a form of punishment.

It's good to see Russell again, good ol crow.

I never even knew that game existed, and now I wish I stayed ignorant of it. Merlina, really?

Yus, been some time since we last saw Russell :D

OT: Noooo, don't leave Russell, we promise eyeballs next time, not just a empty socket D:

Also, I bet...well, I bet monopoly money that if they replaced all the sonic in the game with something else...it might actually have been good...just maybe :p
The eye sockets are empty because whatever it was had to gouge out their eyes after watching that intro cut scene...

OT: I was just stunned, literally transfixed on how bad that intro seemed... although I do remember liking the cartoon with chilli dogs... the other dystopian one weirded me out. Yes I have bad taste :p

I miss sonic 3 :(

Paul's statement (or Graham's, I'm not too sure now) about the fact that Sonic Team wants to make other games but have to keep throwing in Sonic for some reason seems to be true after watching this. Also, I agree that the wizard should have teleported instead of summoning Sonic as I think trying to summon a being from another dimension takes longer and probably would require a lot more concentration which is a bad idea because, you know, you are surrounded by your enemies.

And how the heck did Shadow, Knuckles and Purple-Cat-Lady get there before Sonic?!?
She actually had an ulterior motive for summoning Sonic, but that would require spoilers.
Merlina is actually the bad guy...er girl.

Also that isn't actually Knuckles, Shadow, and Blaze (Purple Cat Lady). It's 3 of Arthur's knights played by Knuckles, Shadow, and Blaze.
Shadow = Lancelot
Knuckles = Galahad (I think)
Blaze = um... I forget.

But Amy Rose is the Lady of the Lake and Sonic's reaction when he sees her is hilarious.
Truthfully the gameplay of this game isn't too bad actually, where it really falls down is during many of the levels there are "innocent civilians" that you're supposed to try avoid killing otherwise the game frowns on you. There's no real penalty for killing them, they're just kinda there for a kinda faux moral choice thing. Except that a) they all look like those Russian dolls, you know the ones that are a doll within a doll within a doll etc. and b) because you're moving so fast it's impossible to know they're coming until you've already cut down a good 2/3 of them.

"What he doesn't know is that Sonic once killed ten men with a chilidog."

That right there had me laughing louder than I have all week.

They might as well get Unleashed and Colors out of the way if they're so bent on Sonic.

At least then we can see Eggman be successful at something.
They did do Sonic Unleashed well over a year ago:
http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/unskippable/1419-Sonic-Unleashed

And no, no -- it's ROBOTNIK. Graham and Paul do not tolerate the name "Eggman".

Anyway, how the hell was Merlina able to stop Sonic simply by GRABBING him? I mean, WTF!?
Whatever then just do Sonic Colors. And yes his name is Eggman, it's time to move on people.

I don't get it. Are these games really still that profitable? Looking at this intro makes me think the creators are just trying to see what they can get away with. This time they use one of the most used stories ever.

So, they are not the characters from Sonic's universe but they look like them? That just seems to make it more odd to me as unless the game is taking place in Sonic's universe's past and those characters are ancestors of the modern characters. I guess I can't really know for sure until I actually play the game.

As for your spoiler:

That actually makes what Paul says even more true in that Sonic should have really think about the situation before hand. On the other hand, what I know of Sonic is that he doesn't tend to think things though right away and reacts instantly. So, that isn't anything wrong with that plot-wise.

that purple cat is named Blaze the cat

In this world Knuckles,Shadow and Blaze are all knights part of king Arther's round table. They also have different names as well.
Ah, I get it now. Thank you very much!

Sega of America actually tried to make a game out of the dystopian Sonic cartoon once, back in the mid 90's. Almost looks kind of like an Adventure game with action elements. I think it was pitched by some of the same guys who did Sonic Spinball.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pnsn0_w6K9Q

Apparently Sonicteam in Japan was pretty "whatever, losers" about anything Sega of America had to say about the Sonic franchise (to the point where we were lucky to get any cartoons at all - Sonicteam almost didn't sign off on the pilots originally).

That's apparently still the prevailing train of thought over there, to the point where now the comic book, which was originally based on the dystopian cartoon, is slowly divorcing itself from that continuity to match up more with what the games are doing.

Yeah I don't know, the game is never quite clear on that. At least not as far as I got on it anyway. I only got to just past where my spoiler was reveled and then I quit, so if more detail was revealed after that then I don't know about it.

Have they done the Arabian Nights game yet? 'Cause that'd be SWEET.
Indeed! Sonic and Secret Rings would be awesome to do.

Personally, I don't have qualms against this game (remember Sonic is not a genre, it's a franchise). I do like the story behind it but then again, I love analyzing stuff for moral meaning so...

Yeah sure, that stuff. Also, I'm fairly certain there's some awkward cross-species romance action going on in that game too.

Oh my goodness, why is this franchise still around? They should have let Sonic die a decade ago already.
Really, what's the point of keeping this abomination alive?

Maybe because the latest games are good? Or there are still enough people who wish to buy and play the games? "Abomination" is a subjective word here.
