@skreesha – Some I think you can skip but think there are some other tasks you need to perform in order to trigger the next scene/conversation – similar to adventure games. I don’t want to say which ones but like I said – each to their own. I didn’t seem them as necessary but I might see on my second playthrough how much I can skip. I really like the “action” sequences though – very tense.

Thanks, didnt realize you could do that.

In my opinion, Sonic makes the game great. If it was a bunch of no names I wouldnt care as much. I like having familiar characters and growing up with a genesis and loving Sonic makes this a great game for me.

While playing this I realized how the Mushroom Kingdom makes a way more exciting setting. I like the Sega tracks and settings but they just dont have the character of the Mushroom Kingdom and all of the different characters. Even the obscure characters in Mario people love, like Koopa Troops and Bullet Bills.

@awesomo316 I’ve been watching a walkthrough Heavy Rain and the pointless parts you mentioned are the ones I’m skipping.

You can shut off the announcer. It’s in the options.

And Sonic doesn’t make the game good. The game is good in spite of his presence.

I bought Sonic racing this weekend. It is great. I wish there was an option to shut the stupid announcer up during the race.
I hope that all of you Sonic haters will play this and have a big blue mushroom stamp on your foreheads.

That dude is one hell of an interviewee. If you asked me to talk with that much zest and passion about Sonic the Hedgehog or *harr* Big the Cat, I would fail miserably. He not only succeeded, but also succeeded in making me download the demo and play the game.

Ironically, I can’t stand The Sims

To each their own in the end – I couldn’t wait to get past these bits and to me it felt like I was playing The Sims. But saying that – it hasn’t made me want to turn off the game or not play it so that’s saying something.

I’m loving Sonic All Stars… I pretty much described the game almost exactly like your review while telling my wife about it the other day, except I want Vyse and Skies of Arcadia DLC.

We need to get this thing going for another DGR Game night, it’s been flawless for me so far online.

Actually I think the random stuff like doing the plates etc is a huge part of why I love this game so much. It’s breaking down the barriers further between real life and interactive video game, something that Shenmue arguably kicked off and I’m glad something else is taking the reigns and furthering the QTE controls in a new and more interesting direction.
