Message: [QUOTE="Ikagura, post: 389369, member: 6930"] Yeah, as rough as the earlier instalment may be. I already felt that change in Borderlands 2 (which went further into the funny/crazy aspects of the first game) but the later two delved too far from its "space western" roots to the point I miss the more down to Earth (or down to Pandora) feel of the original with the Crimson Lance, Old Haven and many other lore bits. Pandora is a wasteland nobody cared about and was mostly inhabited with bandits and madmen. Since they've discovered a Vault in it every big companies went to try their chance at finding another so the planet slowly became more crowded and has lost that "ghost town" feel. In a weird way that's not too far from Fallout 1 feeling lonelier than its sequels. At least Sonic 1 Forever fixes most of the issues and playing as Tails or Knuckles adds a bit more to it. Actually in an interview I need to find they said that Marble Zone was meant to give Sonic a slower paced level because they planned to alternate between faster and slower levels in the game. Sonic has been marketed around speed but was also made with momentum in mind rather than just speed. Spring Yard and Starlight were faster levels using Sonic's momentum while Labyrinth and Scrap Brain were more platform heavy. I think Sonic Advance 2 went too far in the speed aspect at the cost of proper platforming (Rush was almost its own thing at that point). I think Gen 1 has its charm but nobody should replay it beyond nostalgia when Gen 2 and the GBA remakes are making it more bearable. [/QUOTE]
