Haven't played it yet.. but if not even BioWare can save Sonic.. SEGA should just bury the little hedgehog and let him rest in peace..

They won't ever bury Sonic, He's Sega's Mario.

As far as the glitchiness in sound and video, I notice it too but I SERIOUSLY doubt this happens on a retail cart.

Apparently not.

hey irpacy,
where's the fourth hideout place and how do i get there?
(ive been to the 2 of them in the grassy place. lol i dunno their proper names. and the one down the sewer in the city)

@tinymonkeyt
The one you're missing is on the roof. Right before you fight the queen, you can jump to the left side of the buildings, continue that route and you'll find the hideout.

This is one kickass game imo. It has its flaws, clunky map movement control, music is meh bleh and some of the sound effects are just plain horrible. Why does Amy sound like a man being whipped? But it's stuff that can be forgiven, cause the rest of the game is really enjoyable. Same as Mass effect, it had its glitches. But due to its awesomeness, it was forgiven.

The IGN review is by Mark Bozon.. check out his previous reviews and you'll learn to ignore that persons opinions. How he got a job as a reviewer is beyond me.

Blowjob ?

Anyways, the game is nice tho "greatness" we expected from a BioWare product and sonic combined is not in it. Or at least i haven't found it yet. Now if only i'd be able to change the annoying BG music to something else xD.

Well, I don't care what some people or critics are saying, I'm loving this game so far. Let me add to that, I don't really like Sonic games -- never have. But this is a fun RPG, Sonic or otherwise, and it's definitely got Bioware's signature all over it. There are a couple of mechanics and sound effects I don't care for, but again, so far, it's better than expected. And the art design is through the roof; what a gorgeous DS game!

Click to expand...

DS players are used to japanese style RPGs.. totally different than what BioWare does.. if the game has "BioWare's signature" like you say, I can see why some people are hating it..

And I tried the ARM-7 fix and the game still doesn't work on my M3 Simply

EDIT: Followed Curly5959's tutorial ( http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=94755 ) and it's working now! COULD A MOD SUBSTITUTE THE ONE IN THE FIRST POST FOR HIS? THE TUTORIAL IN THE FIRST POST HAS A BROKEN LINK

I'll post my impressions later

Yeah, BW's idea of an RPG is to take a perfectly good turn based system and attempt to turn it into a RT action RPG, while claiming it's still sort of turn based. Unfortunately for them all of their RPGs haven't turned out exactly great, especially the NWN series.

It took CD Projekt with The Witcher to show BW how an actually good(and fun) ARPG could be made with their engine, although CP re-wrote the renderer and other parts of the engine...

Just started chapter 2. Now that I have all four characters, I'm going back to green hill zone to get all those extra things. I'm really enjoying this game so far.

Yeah, I agree with you regarding Bozon reviews. Sometimes they're on the money, but most times I get the impression (based on my own experience with a game) that he doesn't play through much of whatever game he happens to be reviewing. I know their time is stretched, but it's perhaps something to keep into consideration when reading any review.

But he got his job as a reviewer with them because he used to be a developer. So, he has a unique insight that most other IGN reviewers don't. Of course, it doesn't make his reviews more accurate.

I must say that this was may favorite part till now. There was so much stuff to doo in Green Hill after getting Tails and Rouge... And there are still areas I can`t reach with my current party! I love those kind of games, which shows you areas, you can`t reach at the moment but you keep remembering it till you have the abilities or the characters to reach them.

And the combat is really fast for a jrpg... I mean there is no standing around. If one character is jumping back from an attack the other is already preparing for his/her attack!

So far I like it

How can I make this work on may R4DS? I have the FW 1.18 and I always got the "Save-Error" when I want to play it =(

In the Thread posted here, the link is down, so where else can I get the "arm7-fix"?

Please help

dib · Sep 25, 2008

GBAtemp needs to pass a rule: Take your R4 shit to the R4 site, or to the R4 area of the forum. There's a million of these posts and topics regarding a fix that's been around for about a year.

ARM7 Patch it

penguinwarfare · Sep 25, 2008

There was already a patched version when I downloaded it on release day. A few of the links in the ARM7 patch thread weren't working so I just downloaded that one instead.

Also, never let anyone else form an opinion of a game you haven't played yet. IGN reviews in general aren't very well done.

If the link is down you can extract the arm7.bin file from another DS game that doesn't need the fix (using DSLazy/DSBuff).

Thousands of still-dedicated Baldur's Gate 1&2 and NWN players would disagree about "not turning out exactly great". Everything's turn-based behind the scenes, but shows you a pausable realtime game.

Liking the game so far, but the camera's so jerky when running around on the overworld I'm not sure it's worth sticking with.

jmonee84 · Sep 25, 2008

Meh. I was really excited about this one, yet now that I've seen it, I'll pass. I'm saving my time for really great RPGs.

Yatashi Strife · Sep 25, 2008

Guys, using the Donor / Patient method, use SimCity Creater (U) as the Donor. It works.
