Message: [QUOTE="TamagotchiTamaHero24, post: 190796, member: 215120"] I wouldn’t put it down that way, but you are right in the consensus that the game TEASES YOU with a 3D world to explore on Saturn (a very rare commodity on the console) and then locks you into an on rails game environment that uses Sonic Team’s 2D game knowledge to facilitate it. Again, the game is a score attack, so its content is more arcadey and about going back in to get better ranks and challenge yourself. The tragic thing I’ve had to deal with over the years is that, while that’s my favorite kind of game to play, the majority of people only played arcade games in the arcade because of their visuals, and not for the actual game design. Most people, even to this day, want an explorative 3D platformer. That’s not NiGHTS. It’s a decidedly linear experience about the freedom that flight allows being juxtaposed by perfecting your routes, getting A Ranks, and getting the highest scores. That’s what makes people LOVE Christmas NiGHTS. It’s a single stage and a boss, but people replay it infinitely because of the gameplay being so fun that they can replay that one little bit of game for forever, not even mentioning the presents and other modes you can unlock, as well as the much beloved Christmas vibes. On a final note, I feel that the 3D running around sections with Elliot and Claire were a mistake and a total waste of the engine. It teases you with one game that you cannot have and will never have. All it does is distract your mind from the amazing core gameplay, and makes you just wish we got an explorative 3D platformer on Saturn. It’s the game’s only major blemish in my view, but I see it as more of a bruise because of how much it can push away newcomers.

The SHOCKING 400 link combo at the start is certainly impressive, but once the second section of the stage begins, that’s where I find this performance so impressive. It’s some truly next level stuff! I’m nowhere near half as good, but I hope to be someday!
