    Nov 30, 20251 hr 33 min

  13. #20 Sonic Adventure (1998)

    Oct 25, 20255 hr 5 min

    Click here to tell us what you think! OPEN YOUR HEART!! The police open fire on Chaos immediately - is this an echo of Pachacamac's unprovoked attack and a comment on how society still seeks to conquer and react rather than understand and empathise? Did E101 Beta actually choose to undergo his harrowing upgrades to get the better of his brother, or is that more of Eggman's toxic and totalitarian parenting? Has the franchise ever been cooler than Sonic racing through the jungle towards a monstrous Perfect Chaos wrecking havoc on Station Square to the epic riffs of the greatest Sonic vocal track of all time?

Imagine its 1994 and you're standing in the vibrant Yokahama Joypolis about to play the extremely rare Rocky flicky-themed Air Circus arcade game, or hop inside the SegaSonic Cosmo Fighter ride and battle Eggman through space to Sonic Station 07 - can you think of anything more pure? It really does all start with the Flickies...Team Picky or Team Pocky? Chili popcorn or butter popcorn?! What does Waku Waku actually mean?

    Aug 13, 20251 hr 54 min

    Click here to tell us what you think! THINK!! Just what is a badnik then - malignant AI in a robot body powered by an innocent living battery, or mechanical hardware that corrupts innocent Flickies and turns them evil until release? What type of Chao guards the entrance to the vault in the Casino Car? Anyone else want to third wheel Shadow and Amy's Hot Honey concert date - or maybe go with Rouge?

Who lives and works in the mega-cities of West Side Island? Is Eggman's artistic genius ever more evident than in the striking aesthetic of his Oil Ocean oil rig/ecological disaster zone? And have you ever imagined looking up and seeing the massive Wing Fortress with its 22 engine thrusters entering the atmosphere and shuddered with awe? Welcome to SONIC THE PODCAST!

    Jul 15, 20253 hr 32 min

    Click here to tell us what you think! OUR BIG WAVE HAS WASHED OUT! Who is more deserving of hate - Knuckles for committing war crimes, or butthurt Infinite for consistently horrendous trash talk? Speaking as an optimist but also a realist - does this game suffer from many of the same tired tropes and dreadful dialogue as Star Wars Episode 9? Exactly what use did Knuckles find for Charmy's posterior? And does this game contain a criminally under-utilised and under-appreciated soundtrack (looking at you Infinite Part II and Metropolitan Highway)? Welcome to SONIC THE PODCAST!

    Apr 28, 20251 hr 46 min

    Click here to tell us what you think! MODERN ERA MUSHROOM HILL! But the excitement ends there...is this the biggest missed opportunity of the franchise? Where are the all the handheld games and levels that need to be celebrated - Bridge Zone?! Charon Forest?! Music Plant?! Have we maybe had enough Green Hill yet? And is an awesome Biolizard music remix enough to overcome how jarring it is to play as Sonic while fighting it? Welcome to SONIC THE PODCAST!
