Knuckles Chaotix

[Mel]

ok finally got my 32x and knuckles chaotix, and all I can say is... Wow what an odd game...

Fun, colorful, interesting, odd.

[j_factor]

I think it's a blast with two people, but pretty so-so by onesself.

Ok, I've put about an hour into the game already. I don't like the level selection and team mate selection scheme. Its supposed to be random, though it feels like you can control it somewhat. Besides I prefer the linear level style of the sonic series.

But in regards to game play, I feel its a tad on the easy side, but overall quite a bit of fun. Even by myself, I feel the controls are tight, the levels are beautiful, and the music is great.

i don't see why so many people hated on this game when it was released. I suppose expectations are the cause? Maybe people siimply don't like change. I like the ruberband system, it adds an interesting dimension to platform gameplay.

Hey, I enjoyed Chaotix. What I hated was the fact that I had spent all my money on a black mushroom that did almost nothing.

[Mel]

Agreed, less than 40 games, is a crappy library. Sega shouldn't have abandoned it. The system had potential

[tim333]

I know. Look at those graphics in Chaotix - the Genesis couldn't do anything like that on its own. It was pretty damn impressive stuff for the time.

And yet despite the large phallic shaped objects being rammed where the sun don't shine.

We stay SEGA fans to the end.

It is kinda strange don't you think... we are the kinda friend thelma and louise would want, that and corporate pig dogs!

I love you SEGA! (this may have been fescitious, but I really do love SEGA)

I agree. If nothing else the new idea should be heralded because even then there were many generic platformers that offered nothing new or innovative as far as gameplay.

Blasphemy! Chaotix is a brilliant game. Plus, you stole my avatar!

That's what I said!

The 32X was a perfectly acceptable system - it was messily neutered by Sega in favour of the Saturn (which was then ironically neutered to make way for the Dreamcast).

Chaotix was disliked for the same reasons as Shadow the Hedgehog today - it was a former side character getting his own game. Oh noes, we can't have that etc.

[j_factor]

I don't see how 32x was an "acceptible" system. What was the point of it? To make your Genesis more powerful but less so than the next-gen consoles? Why? I mean, Sega CD had a point, and that point was the CD-ROM format. 32x gives you a step-up in power that you don't need for anything. It served absolutely no real necessity as a Sega system, intended only as a "holdover" for American consumers waiting on the new consoles, which is just a stupid idea.

Mommy what are those two animals doing sticked to eachother,its almost the same thing like mommy and daddy made ehhhm Erm yeah hmm thats a good qeustion,lets talk about that a other time shall we.No for Show knucles ghaotix was Fun only very very short,and sometimes boring but still a stand out esspecialy for its fun music and colourfull graphics.32X could have been much better Damn sega why didnt you push the system for what it was instead of just lett it fall in to nothingless.Theyve could have beaten the snes that way,The system was supperior to snes and could have sett its competition against it.Oke the 3DO was also in sales then But that one wasnt that fine either,but also hadnt that much of a name and the price tag was extreme.

[ary incorparated]

hmm J factor youre a bit right,it well it was the battle between the snes and megadrive,Why didnt sega pulled the suppirior with vectorman to beat the snes,They could do it veccie 1 did it if you ask me.veccie 2 was lesser but a veccie 3 and that sort of graphic stunts would have been better,if sega was focusing Fully on MD than they wouldn wasted time instead.Veccie had come out and sega sels against DK country instead of losing money,maybe they,d improve DK country,s in selling whit Veccie 3 and that kind of stuff.oke there was Batman and robin that had the graphics,But mist the gameplay.That atleast was a step in the right direction.

The best thing about Chaotix was that it was something different from the other Sonic games. It's a nice change of pace from the other Sonic games. I still enjoy it to this day, It may not have been the greatest game in the history of gaming, but at least it was something different. It's a shame it wasn't as well received as it should have been.
