I dont know about all of them, look at SA2B, in the 2-player mode, you could play as Amy and Metal Sonic. Amy was in the story line, but she wasn't playable.

I know, but im not saying that those will be playable in 1 player mode.

Im just woundering what other characters, besides Tails, Knuckles and Eggbotnik, are in 1 player mode that are seen in a different light, and since those characters are in 2 player mode, maybe they will also appear in a different light in 1 player mode. Maybe.

More info. Someone from Sonic Stadium played it and reviewed what he did.

http://www.sonicstadium.org/articles/116/

And heres a little more info:

http://www.sonicstadium.org/board/index.ph...opic=25683&st=0

6/12 missions is at least what SEGA told me. They could well be wrong, but they've admittedly played the game 100x more than I have. Mind you having said that, Sonic Team said there were 100 missions and last count there were 10 stages. Doesn't really make sense, but oh well.

As for unlocking future stages, I, for instance, played through the Story Mission of Dinosaur Jungle, yet the next stage did not unlock itself for me. I had to try and do another mission.

But don't worry, the alternative missions are usually shorter than the main Story missions, and it looks like you can choose any six to beat (some missions are unlocked after completing certain conditions though - we mullered Sand Oasis to unlock Dinosaur Jungle but still had missions out of the 12 to unlock). The Sand Oasis jar-breaking mini-game that I write about, for instance, is only about 2 minutes long compared to the Story Mission which is probably about 5 or 6 minutes in length.

They will test your skills, but I believe they will do it over a certain learning curve -- the jar-breaking mission was harder than the story mission, but essentially the only reason it was harder was because there were two or three large gaps to cross that you needed to time your charged jump and homing attacks for to actually get across. And thankfully it wasn't hard because it was glitching the hell out of us. Although we did ponder as to why Sonic needed to home-attack to a spring on the side of a cliff opposite when there was a huge opening in the building he could have just jumped to instead. Ah, his lust for springs, eh.

Commenting on the 'characters don't remember Sonic' deal - yeah, that's pretty much it. After Dinosaur Jungle you run into Tails, and Sonic says "Tails? You're in this book too?" and Tails replies with "Tails? Who is Tails? I'm Ali Baba". So Sonic remembers his friends but they are pretty much caught up in their story role. Sonic's meeting with King Shahryar/Eggman is funny though - I missed a photo of the part where Sonic gets pissed off because he's run all this way just to find Eggman, and Eggman shouts "How dare you! Guards! Get this stupid blue spiky thing at once!" Mike Pollock is still a decent Eggman.

EDIT: Also, unless I'm mistaken, I don't believe there has been as much information revealed on the final level as reported in the new TSS preview. Oh, and it mentions a few new minigames. ;P

If they don't have a playable Super Sonic in normal levels, I wont ever consider buying another Sonic game ever again.

Thats silly...and besides, there may still be hope for Super Sonic in Sonic 06. If you go to the japanese site, they have a page with info on downloadables. There are 3, and one of them has been revealed as Hrad Mode. Im guessing the other 2 will be free play mode and maybe Super Sonic.

Anyway, heres the official Sonic and Rings site

I really cant wait for this game! Over 200 unlockables?! WOW!

Loads of questions answered about the game

SPOILERS






















Now this guy is the same person who spoils all of the new Sonic games. However, i dont 100% believe him because he tells us loads of things about the game. Then when the game comes out, only 50% of what he said is true and he ignores everyone who questions him. But i'll post this anyway:


http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessag...&topic=33621963

If you were expecting a final battle fighting as Super Sonic in a boss fight versus a giant reptillian monster, you'll be suprised.

First off, Super Sonic is not in the game. This isn't new to you guys, I know, but many have questioned what it is. My response to you is this; Though there is no Super Sonic, there is a supior being in the game.

Is it some new form of a more powerful Sonic? No. Sonic is himself the whole battle. What is it then, you ask? Shahra uses the power of the Secret Rings to become a full blown dijjin. She lends her help with Sonic to face the final threat- Who I will reveal later :P.

Here's what I can tell you, though. You may be suprised. I will tell some traits of this battle, however.

First of all, this is one of the most frusterating battles of all time. Not cause of glitches and camera problems and bad controls, though, it's cause the boss is crazy. Rings are scarce, and the boss is a mad attacker, with giant lasers that fill up 75% of the arena, giant sowrds chasing Sonic around and around, summoning 20+ enemies to deal with Sonic. It is no walk in the park. I havn't played the boss yet myself, but I've watched various people play it and get frusterated at the sheer difficulty. I actually havm't seen anyone beat the final boss as of yet when I was watching players. One person got to one-2 more hits left, but then the boss went into a mad scurvey and sped up his attacks to so freaking high speeds, it would be some type of miracle not to get hit.

More on all of this for days to come.

I'm not even going to rent it now, unless SEGA releases Super Sonic in all levels in StH for the 360.

Unless they let us downloasd Super Sonic for Sonic 06, i doubt Super Sonic will ever be playable in all levels again. We've been waiting for years and still nothing.

And besides, even if SS was in all levels in this game, it wouldnt make a difference. All you would be able to do is move left and right and jump.
