Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric (Wii U)

The designs are weird, but I'm looking forward to this, as it appears to be multiplayer. Man, when are Sonic and Mario gonna cross over in a platformer though?

@evanescent_hero i keep thinking that too (about mario and sonic) yeah im looking forward to this game looks intresting

Chao world and i'm in.

I'm not sure I like the longer legs aesthetic. Wierd this is skipping Japan. Did Sega lose faith in Western developers?

@StarDust4Ever
Or maybe they lost faith in Japanese fans: looks like most of their money comes from Europe and the US these days

BOOM, BOOOMM, BBOOOOOOOMMMM!!!

I can see Naughty Dog's former members fingerprints all over this and that is a good thing! Listening to the voices and seeing the limited gameplay and levels reminds me of "Jak and Daxter". "Uncharted" is good in an Indiana Jones/National Treasure way but "Jak and Daxter" really nailed the adventure genre. It was funny and a little zany and that made it special.

@Chabbox They confirmed there wasn't one.

Wow a whole new take on son- OMG WHY THE HECK DOES KNUCKLES LOOK LIKE A BATTLETOAD! it's like someone stuck a bike pump up his but and pumped REAL hard. Anyways from that it looks good. The designs (excluding knuckles) are pretty good. Hoping for recurring characters like shadow blaze silver rouge etc. make an appearance. Can't wait for the tv show as well.

I'm not sold. I don't like the preview music either. lol

I honestly can't wait for this game. I'm a bit worried about Big red button slown the characters down though. Sure, i'll give it a chance, but I don't think that i'll want to see another Sonic game like this.

I really think the amount of negative press this game has received is entirely unjustified. The game looks a lot of fun and blends platforming with some light action/beat-em-up gameplay. Sure, the characters look a bit different, but I don't think they look bad.

Day 1 purchase with Super Smash Bros U for me!

I love how this suddenly became a hot game again

From watching LP's of this it looks fun.

Definitely getting this game in a day or two. I'm having a lot of fun with Sonic Boom Shattered Crystal

I was looking forward this one but the negative reviews elsewhere have dissuaded me. A shame that the Nintendo Life review isn't available yet.

Sonic is a total embarrassment.... The fact that this will sit on the same shelf ... At the same price as Smash Bros is shocking. Sega really are one of the worst devs ! Occasionally a game like Alien Isolation surprises u but generally ... Theyre shocking.

this game sucks, the frame rate is a tire fire and the graphics want to make me barf and not to mention the stupid multiplayer with even lower frame rate I do not recommend this to anyone
