If Sonic Boom were a game with other characters, it would get higher ratings. The problem is that they took too much of a politically correct approach to Sonic Boom, they made It too childish and corny while taking ill advice of relying on too many western cartoon stereotypes which are in most aspects inferior in comparison to Japanese. (Hokey and Pokey are nothing but a couple of eyesores)

They should stop making their politically correct mistakes and not make the Sonic games overly child friendly,

because nowadays it is just becoming an excuse for making their games cheap, corny, and shallow.

Time we bring back the darker, cooler, more apocalyptic style of Sonic games like Sonic Adventure. I think that if they really had to stick to the politically correct, western stereotype approach, they should of taken pages from AoSTH. But I guess given AoSTH never had a game other thna Mean Bean Machine, lets hope Sonic Boom cartoon will surfice. You don't think Sonic Boom is overly politically correct with "child friendliness" and western cartoon stereotypes?,

I have a list of reasons why I believe my theory is likely true and that this strategy they're using is dragging this awesome game series downhill. If it was just the episode "Buster" we're talking about then I would say the cartoon Sonic Boom is try hard as a cartoon catered for a young western audience that must be as friendly and silly a spossible. But given we've only seen four episodes of the entire series so far, too early for me to say to put a decent oppinion. I think "Translate This" is my fave episode so far.

And while I've heard that Rise of Lyric's story isn't as good, I'd rather play for myself before I pass judgement.

All in all it's still too early for Sonic Boom to pass full judgement on anything. I'm hoping for a Sonic cartoon for kids it will be as good as AoSTH but chances are it will do it's own thing and not be as good. We'll see.
