User blog:Majora Moon/Sonic Lost World - The BEST Sonic game.

One thing I want to state right off the bat. I am not a super obsessed Sonic fan. I am a fan of the series and like the games, but am not super obsessed with them.

The story - Some say the story is the childish and not dark enough.....What is wrong with that?!? If it was something super dark like Sonic 06, that would be a problem, because....look at the premise of the series! A blue headgehog with superspeed fights an evil egg shaped mad scientist......does that sound like it works with a dark setting? No. Not at all. You can hae some darker elements in, and I think the Deadly Six and their dialouge (especilly Zazz) provide just enough of it. Speaking of the Deadly Six

The Deadly Six - A lot of people hate on the Deadly 6, but I like....most...of them. There are 2 I hate. Those 2 are Zomom and Zor, who are just annoying, I like Zazz and Zavok, but Zeena and. Zeena is a MUCH better female character than Rouge. WHY?!?! Well because the are not constantly trying to pass her off as 'sexy' like they do with Rouge. She may not have much of a personality, but hey, at least she is not like what DiC did in their Sailor Moon dub and took such well written characters with 3 dimensional personalities and some depth in the Japanese version, and chose to make them completly 1 dimensional in their dub. Zeena was a new character, and her lack of character is made up by the fact that she is not constantly just being played for fanservice like Rouge. The other one I like alot is Master Zik, I just love wise old sensei type of characters.

The worlds - I love each of the worlds. They are each well designed and a good mix of speed and platforming. My favorite has to be Frozen Factory because Ice worlds are my favorites. Each of them has a feel to them that makes them differant from all the other worlds in the game. There is some nice virity in them.

The voices - All of the voices except Amy Rose, are fantastic. Best of them have to be Mike Pollok as Dr. Eggman, Kate Higgins as Tails, and Roger Creig Smith as Sonic. I don't think I need to explain why Mike is such a great Eggman. The voice suits him, and his comedic timing and delivery are perfect for him. Kate Higgins (who also voices Ami Mizuno/Sailor Mercury, my all time favorite character, in the new Viz dub of Sailor Moon. Ironic because Tails is my favorite Sonic character) is a FANTASTIC Tails. Not only does the emotion and everything sound so real but Tails actually sounds like a boy! Then there is good RCS as Sonic. He does a good job, MUCH better than Julia White, or whoever voiced Sonic in those horrible DiC cartoons. You know the people also responsible for the worst dub of an amazing anime. Because their dub removed all depth and personality from the characters, gave them all annoying voices, Americanized it, removed all the charm of it and...oops....I went off on a tangent ranting about the DiC dub of Sailor Moon didn't I. Sorry. I always do that when I mention DiC, and howmuch they insult great franchises.

So yeah. Coming in at 7th best game of all time and best in the Sonic series. I think Lost World is a fantastic game! There are still some games that are better like Epic Mickey, Majora's Mask, and best of all Okami (Wii version), but Sonic Lost World is a good 7th place contender!

If there is anything I did not talk about let me know and I will add it in.
