Great VGR this game is like the Avatar of video games it's completly set new standards for everything but unlike Avatar this is more than just a pretty game it one of the deepest and well written games of all time. It completly lives up to the hype and is better than i could ever expect. its probably the most epic game is quality and scale ever.

In terms of scale, Mass Effect 2 is like Avatar. Unlike Avatar, its story is simply phenomenal (so far at least).

This game looks Awesome and great and I personally cant wait to play it however I must re-do two of my mass effect characters so I can play a better game on the Mass Effect 2
My infiltrator and my Soldier Class both need to be redone.

"Avatar"'s plot was engaging...

I guess that's not the point.

All it really had to do for me was better then the first(lol) game.
But NO, they had to fix all the issues I had with the original!

Dam, you Bioware, can't you ever stop being so awesome!?

I don't think anyone could make a "good" Sonic RPG. With most fans not liking too many of the characters and the story having almost nothing to do with why fans of the series like it, it's hard to make a game that would be satisfying to anyone besides people who REALLY like Sonic.

But this game makes me wish I had a 360 or PC that could run it, because it looks awesome. Someday...

An average rating of 7.5 is a bad game now? Wow, have we raised our standards. It has to have a 9 in it, right?

The problem with a Sonic RPG is that it has... Sonic in it. Sonic is probably cursed or something because he just can't be in a good game anymore (SSBB may be the one exception). :P

The Sonic RPG was meh. Not awful, but not very good...

Also, I think it's fair to ask games to be at least an 8 or higher, since we pay around 50 bucks for each of them. When I pay 50 bucks for something, I expect it to be very good, not just above average.

Sonic really seems to be cursed, yeah. The problem with him is that they're taking him back in time. The Sonic RPG was a bland copy from the standard RPG-model we've had for years now, and now he's going even further back to the Genesis ages. Sonic actually has to ignore the years of innovation we have created just to not suck anymore...

Nicely done Destin.  Well detailed review and makes me more conflicted about buying this game. Now I am trying to figure out if I buy the regular game now or wait til I get paid to buy the deluxe edition. Since I am a PC gamer, I am so going to see their version of the game. Nicely done.

If you can give me money I could LOL!! And also since I got the first game on steam and played the whole run-through a few times. I hope they resolve the DLC issue without me getting into the redtape of going to multiple official web sites.

I also hope they made their service better with ME2 than with DA: O.  Granted, it's a hell of a lot better than Fallout 3's, but still... >_>

Awesome VGR there Destin, the game looks awesome. :-) I don't have a 360, and don't plane on buying one, but i might get this when it goes on a good sale for PC, sense i am a cheapassgamer at heart, who very rarely can see spending full price for his games. Now all i need to know is what are the specs needed to run this on PC?

Never mind i found my own answer lol and they are as following for anyone else who is wanting to know the min. specs for running the game on PC. I used www.game-debate.com, which also allows you to do a basic check to see if your PC can run games that have come out in the past 12 months on a % rate. Not trying to push the site, just one of the first that came up on a google search lol.

Wow. Makes me sad I do not own a 360. And that didn't happen with past titles. Now THAT's a game you buy a console for. Not something like Halo 3 ODST.
