Sigh. I haven’t
touched Dissidia Duodecim: Final Fantasy for
maybe a month and a half. The video
games I am playing currently (returning to the most) are Sonic Generations and Sonic
Rivals 2. I should have finished Sonic Generations last year but other
things got in the way (my cat’s surgery was a big part of it, but I was also
doing some volunteering for work experience).
I lost interest in playing video games for several months. I actually, lost interest in a log of other
things at that time. Now that life is
looking up, some of that “life” in my interests has returned.
When in late March I visited one of my favorite
websites, the fan-art galore that is DeviantArt, I came across some interesting
Sonic the Hedgehog fan-art, along with fan-art of my other two favorite
hedgehogs Shadow and Silver. Some of the
fan-art sparked story ideas in my head that I wanted to write as
fan-fiction. But then soon, I thought,
Well I haven’t played Sonic Rivals 2
for a while, and Sonic Rivals 2 is
the only Sonic game I have where I could play as Silver. (I don’t have SONIC ’06 and I probably won’t get it or
play it ever. Sad, huh?). I tried it again and I forgot how much fun it
was; I liked the music (it’s not bad, not spectacular like in Sonic Generations), and it can get
frustrating but then I laugh when I lose a race or battle. It’s good light fun. I can play it in my bedroom or in the living
room because it’s on the PSP. I really
enjoy the Acts for the Haunted Mystic Zone, especially the music for Act 2, the
battle against Shadow and Silver (that was the story I was playing when I first
got to it).
For Sonic
Generations, I didn’t touch it since March last year and then once more in
November. Now I’m trying to play it
maybe twice a week, when I ‘m not training for my new job and the TV in the den
is available.
AT this point I visited both Acts of all the Stages in the
game and still need to finish many Challenge games for Act 1 and Act 2. I defeated Metal Sonic, Shadow, and last week
was Silver in their respective Rival Battles.
I beat Silver Rival Battle in Hard Mode on my first try, because by that
time I went through so many trial-and-error runs with Normal Mode and got to
know Silver’s attack pattern. So many
trial-and-error runs. So many.
I still need the 3rd Key to unlock the third
Boss, but also in the meantime I will complete the other challenges in order to
gain some new Skills for both Sonics. I
gotta say something: I love the music for Planet Wisp Act 2. It’s been stuck in my head for the last
several days. Now Act 2 (and yes, Act 1
also) are very frustrating, but its music helps me to deal with it. I also really like the song for Crisis City
Act 2 from SONIC '06; I fell in love with that one almost a month ago. I went to iTunes and had to get the original
version from the SONIC ‘06
soundtrack.
How
awesome would it be if Sonic could race against either Shadow or Silver in what
would be the “Doppelganger” races? Well,
Shadow, yes…but Silver can fly, and that might be cheating :3 so maybe it
wouldn’t make sense, but at least with Shadow it would be neat! Oh well, I guess that is only possible in Sonic Rivals or Sonic Rivals 2. At least on their feet, unlike in Sonic and SEGA All-Stars Racing/Transformed their they drive vehicles. That is...what it is.
Below is a link to the YouTube video of the music track "Planet Wisp Act 1" from the original Sonic Colors. I love the version in Sonic Gererations as well, but the guitar bass for this original version is boss. (I tried to embed the video here but the HTML can't be accepted for some reason).
