Is Sonic Superstars THAT BAD? - An in Depth Review

[@jermainewatsonsr314]

Just completed it with my 8 YO son. We had a blast. The camera was difficult to follow every now and again but ot was an overall great experience.

[@ThatZenithDude]

Good for you man, you are winning at life it seems

[@josephsmith3291]

Glad to hear it, as a Mac user in a weird situation with my switch (I lost the joy cons) I haven't been able to try it out and in spite of the hate I really like the look of it and want to give it a try! Hard part is the points being brought up certainly aren't wrong that Sega is seriously inconsistent and my mind is blown they don't allow the developers to ever have enough time to fully finish a game but idk some part of me can't help but have a interest in so many Sonic titles in spite of it. I suppose Im part of what allows them to get away with unfinished games but idk. They have amazing ideas and even solid mechanics and yet still seem to not quite be what the fans what. But im stuck a fan for life I suppose. It really brought me joy to read a father and son are enjoying these new titles, that's just amazing and im happy the next generation may get to enjoy Sonic the way I do! Hope you've shown him the Adventure games if not you totally should! The open world of Sonic Adventure DX blew my mind as a kid playing on my Wii, sadly not multiplayer (though modders have to some degree fixed that) but a 10 year old me loved those games. Sorry for my rant but just ecstatic to hear y'all are enjoying Sonic

We could have had a hand-drawn style but an interview, when asked about it, they said that they were considering it at first, but opted for 3D because they thought people would think that would look better, I remember hearing this somewhere to take this with a grain of salt because I don't remember the source.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii deliberately has levels that are made with that camera system in mind, while Sonic typically has levels that require you to go up and down, not just left and right. Whenever you had to go up and down in NSMBW, it would usually be in a dedicated section where the level would be designed in such a way, therefore letting them lock the camera like that. Maybe its limiting to some degree, but I think its an important consideration they never made when thinking about this new camera system. Good video bud.

Time attack actually made me go back and replay this game pretty often, I can pick a random stage, skip the boss, turn on Spotify (cause superstars music is pretty mid), and just have fun running through the stage with all the classic physics I love.

[@xmanthegreat370]

I played this game and literally just gave up on the last eggman boss not because it’s hard- I’ve beaten much harder things- but because it was unfun and frustrating. Oh and the game literally crashed during a cutscene.

[@Dejimon11]

9:44 Actually the water power up has another use. It prevents you from getting crushed which makes going through press factory zone a much easier time. Also the emerald powers do refill once you go through a checkpoint and you can revisit the same checkpoint again if you want experiment more with the power ups to refill it

[@IREV00]

Wow I had no idea the water powerup worked like that. I don't remember ever getting crushed in this game honestly but it's nice to know there's at least some other use at play there. Thanks for letting me know.

[@rollingstart_90s]

Back in 2017, Sonic Mania sold 1 million copies, which was considered a great success for Sega. Sonic Superstars 1 year anniversary is coming next month and it has sold over 4.3 million copies. Looking at these numbers, I personally would not use the word "fail", as shown on the thumbnail for this video.

[@sonicthehedgehog8638]

Where did you find these numbers, I never saw any numbers about this game sales no matter how much I search Also Sega stopped sharing mania 5:30 sales after the first year

Thanks so much stolenearth! Been a pleasure having you alongside.

[@ArvoVenkatron]

The chaos powers are essentially worse version of the wisp powers from colors

[@jaretco6423]

Terrible bosses aside, my biggest issue with Superstar comes from the level designs & co-op. The first halve of the zone started off good. But once we get into Lagoon City, things have gotten worst. So much of stop & go, pressing switch, pushing that, doing this, basically anything that makes you do things rather than rewarding with speed. They also add too many gimmicks in each levels that are hit & miss and can get pretty obnoxious too. The camera gets to close to Sonic that anything hits you off screen. The Emeralds Power; while cool idea in theory, are very underwhelming and the game lacks any polished. And than there's the co-op; which is supposed to be the games main selling point. But it is by far the worst co-op of any video game I've seen. Even the New Super Mario Bros games has co-op that are better than this. This is a shame really. This game has so much potential and could've been an great game. But what we got is an average game at best and unplayable at worst.

[@William5000000]

What you described for "Sonic Superstars" is the true definition of quantity over quality. Critically speaking, it's actually deeply mediocre at its core (5.5/10). On a personal level, it's mediocre at best for me (5/10).

I can't speak for everyone who didn't buy this game. But the reason why i didn't get it was because The Final Horizon was a terrible, frustrating, rage-quit inducing dumpster fire that was paradoxically worse than the base Frontiers' ending. It was really bad and unironically made me rethink why I was fan of the franchise to begin with... But I guess I'm the sucker because I'm buying Shadow Generations in spite of that. Maybe I'll grab Superstars one day if it goes on deep discount on Steam, but never at full price.

[@gorofujita5767]

The part that gets me about the "Mania Team" not being on board on this game, is the fact that SEGA brought back quite possibly the only unnecessary member of that team: Tee Lopes. Now don't get me wrong, the guy makes some good music. But that's about it: "Good". SEGA could have fished for true in-house talent -- which they do have -- and came up with so truly banger music of mythical proportions. Heck, those guys got Naoto Oshima back; get Yuzu Koshiro to unite with Fumie Kumatani and the Unleashed music team -- now THAT would have been truly legendary. But no: We're left to hum to the sounds of some derivative Tee Lopes stuff, and crappy Sonic 4-like chiptune music. Severely disappointing.

[@checkthegamer587]

Literally a good option they could have done wad the Kirby star allies route granted I'm not the biggest fan of that game but what it could do is just if a person goes off screen it just teleports the off screen player to player one and also only have the camera follow player one

[@LolipooChimichanga]

Are we not going to talk about the OST? Why is there so many different energies for every act in this game? We got Bridge Hill Act 2 and Speed Jungle Act 1 which have that Mania energy (they're by Tee Lopes, duh) Meanwhile, Golden Gate Act 1 sounds stright out of the genesis. Looking at the credits, there were MANY people working on the OST, which to me is one of the reasons why it sounds so unfocused overall. I've seen people try to defend these themes, but I don't get how. Especially after Origins, when some of the replaced tracks sound more off than a literal PROTOTYPE that was revealed to the public a year early. (Looking at you Carnival Night). Mania (which is cheaper than Mania on launch), and even 2D fangames (which are free) didn't have this problem of it's OST sounding like it came from a completely different game when going into a new zone or menu.

[@Tromite]

I enjoyed this one. The level designs could be more memorable, but I think it's overall better than the classic trilogy and even Mania. I'm impressed they got the physics close to the Genesis games, but it's not perfect, as each character feels heavier to play, but it's still fun. I wish the zones were more original, but they're still a step up from before. I wonder what's next, a modern 2D Sonic game?

[@Talitaisready]

From what i can tell, the camera follows the player ahead until they get too far away then it snaps to the other player.

[@ryleerushin3683]

Great vid as usual Rev! I got this game on Christmas. I didn't really pay attention to the press about it because frankly I was more excited for Mario Wonder. However, I really loved Mania so I figured if 3D Sonic is gonna keep disappointing me, at least some 2D games will come out I will at least like. Despite that, I had a miserable time playing Superstars. When it's not boring, it felt frustrating with it's bosses and some of it's later levels. Which is a shame too because I wanna like Sonic again and I've liked a bunch of the older games but it just seems like it gets harder and harder to like Sonic by the game. I feel like one day a good Sonic game will come out again but I feel like it's gonna be a real long time before that happens. It feels clear that Sonic is just their cash cow now with no regard of quality (which to an extent was always the case given how all Sonic games are rushed but it's felt very apparent as of late). Anyways great video as always, I always look forward to your uploads and they always brighten my day!

[@IREV00]

Thank you as usual Rylee! You’ve captured my thoughts exactly. Despite claiming they slowed down game releases to increase quality, all these titles have still come out as rushed messes. At least back in the day there was a sonic game every year which increased the likelihood of a good game; now we wait ages for pure mediocrity. And as long as people still defend it, it’ll keep on happening. Because it’s Sonic.

[@PaulFellourisStrongman]

I like the game, but it feels too generic in terms of just being “sonic 3 and knuckles again”. Sonic Mania I’m fine with since it was kind of just back to basics. The co-op emphasis needs to be scrapped and I think it’s what killed the game because it made the bosses agonizing due to the fact it would run over bosses if they didn’t give the bosses super long recovery periods. It’s a shame because I do enjoy the levels and the character exclusive levels are by far the best in the game. A 2D Sonic game with fully original levels and non-agonizing boss battles can be a 9/10 with good level design.

[@beauwalker9820]

I think it's honestly too soon to call this game a "failure," because it hasn't even been out a year, and in fairness like many Sonic games there are many fans that like it, despite it having some hate or issues. I actually enjoyed it despite it's faults.

Idk why it was so hard to jusy have the multiplayer be split screen and a race. Sonic games are about speed, and making it a race where u can jump on or spindash through ur opponents to mess then up would be fun! Even cooler, if someone finds a special ring, then only they go through it and then only they can get the chaos emerald power, but if u get all 7 then everyone can go super bc thats just... More fun. This way it incenticizes replays with friends yo see if u can beat them and also see who gets certain powers. That way sections that require water are just short cuts, where everyone else who didn't get it has to take thw slow route. That only took me like 2 minutes to think of, idk how a team of developers who made this game in maybe 3 years never thought of it. It just sounds more fun and makes multiplayer more seamless

[@Eric_Black134]

I think I know the reason why the camera doesn't just follow the person in front like in the New Super Mario Bros games:loops and set pieces. In a 2D Mario game, forward is always one of two directions: right or up. It's easy for the game go figure out who's in the lead by just checking who's further to the right or who's higher up on the screen. Simple. But with Sonic, Sometimes right isn't forward. A good speedy section of a level will send the player in just about every direction. It's all forward, but it's not all right or up. I can definitely see why the game struggles to keep track of who is in front. I'm not saying that it isn't a problemi just understood why it is the way that it is. Why does Sonic always have the 😮 expression on his face? Where's the side smirk that he's had since Sonic Unleashed? (I know that was modern Sonic, but the technique in 3D started there)

The reason why it failed is because it had no unique art style, people bought mario wonder because of it's beautiful art style even though the gameplay is the same as the new super mario bros series (except U). If sonic superstars had a hand drawn art style (yes, the devs concidered it, but thought 2.5D look better) then maybe it would have had half of the sales of wonder. Sonic superstars has flaws, but the level design is increadible

@@JoseGregorioValeroVillarroel the best way to judge a level is trough the lens of Time attack, which is the definitive way to play a sonic game and the way the devs intended you to play it. So far I've only time attacked zone 1 to zone 7, so there are 4 zones left for me to go trough

It did sold 2 million copies did better than Sonic Lost World at least

[@SuperBetaBuxbros.]

Not saying much lost world was on a dead console for 2 years

Superstars didn't fail....

[@Ibalistic_hedge]

Tbf, the multi player in nsmb was also awful and rage inducing.

Sonic Superstars gets my rating of a 7.5/10. Better than Sonic 4, but not as good as Sonic Mania
