Ultimately your own personal enjoyment of the game is what's most important, even more so than the actual game itself. But, like our most excellent friend said, it's a superbuy for Superbat for some games, so personal reviews of a game are extremely important when it comes to making a decision to spend $90. It's no different then looking for a digital camera to buy. Trailers & Gameplay Videos are primarily a source of marketing, and they can make it look nice. But thanks to the internet, we can now easily read personal opinions on products, which are perhaps the most important reviews of them all.

Exactly. I just don't like it when people act like reviews are the devil. Although your personal opinion is always more important, reviews HELP. There aren't demos and pirated gaming for everything, so people should seriously trust a reviewer or two, or general public opinion once in awhile.

[Mirby]

Oh, reviews are fine by me. But there is always the possibility that my opinion will differ from theirs. Because reviews are just opinions

[Hypershell]

I agree with Talyn.  On that note, I don't "trust" any particular reviewer.  Reading their comments, figuring out why they like/dislike the game, it helps.  And of course I like to read gaming news and all.  But I've never considered them reliable, as far as trusting their opinions.  Many of them act as though their opinions are considerably more standardized than they actually are, and they also tend to get very vocal about their approval/disapproval of particular trends which one may or may not agree with at all (case in point: genre choice in Sonic music).

Sonic music WAS just pretty much 80's corny metal for awhile. Although that pleases many, many people, the amount of cheese really isn't for everyone. By the time they got to "This World", I just pissed on that one. The difference from the original epic violin preview and the repetitive, almost torture-like regular version was unbearable.

[Klavier Gavin]

"This World"

...wat?

[Bueno Excelente]

...wat?

Find me a song with more repetitions of its name in the chorus.

[Protoman Blues]

Find me a song with more repetitions of its name in the chorus.

Knowing him, he's probably referring to the fact that the name of the song is "His World"

Oh, and I'll say Seven Rings in Hand.

You know me so well.

[Protoman Blues]

[Shinigami No Tekken]

Oh, and I'll say Seven Rings in Hand. 

Couldn't agree more. At least Fairytales in Trance was a decent version.

Honestly, In SA1 and SA2, I can admit the soundtracks were awesome. Corny, but awesome, in a "pull our childish heartstrings" kind of way.

Sonic Heroes sucked in terms of theme songs, but had pretty good level songs.

Shadow, I don't even [tornado fang]ing remember.

Sonic the Hedgehog threw that [parasitic bomb] away. Songs just plain sucked, specially new remixes to old songs, and even level crap.

Unleashed was a bit better bit still really not good.

Secret Rings had SOME improvements but seriously, the more I hear, the less I like. (and yes, I admit, SO MANY [tornado fang]ing REPETITIONS OF THE TITLE)

I don't even [tornado fang]ing remember Black Knight.

Agreed.

Sonic Heroes sucked in terms of theme songs

Oh [tornado fang] you, Follow me and Team Chaotix are awesome! D:

What I'm Made Of... was meh, but I still liked it.

Shadow

Eggman theme remix, and maybe the two Crush 40 songs.

Sonic the Hedgehog

I would say Sweet, sweet, sweet/Sweet Dream, but the whole rap thing kinda ruined it.

Unleashed

Theme was okay, had a few stage songs I like.

Secret Rings had SOME improvements but seriously, the more I hear, the less I like. (and yes, I admit, SO MANY [tornado fang]ing REPETITIONS OF THE TITLE)

[parasitic bomb]'s awesome though. D:

Black Knight.

Knight of the Wind, Fight the Knight, With Me, and Live Life. Some stage songs were pretty good, then there are the remixes of the character themes from the Adventure games. :v

[Shinigami No Tekken]

So yeah. I'm gonna copy Gavin up there.

SA1 and SA2: Meh. Didn't like the music all that much. It Doesn't Matter, and a couple stage songs were alright.

Heroes: I can agree with just about anyone that the theme was terrible, but We Can, This Machine, Team Chaotix, not to mention NUMEROUS stage songs were golden.

Shadow: Not sure about stage music, but the themes were... alright. Waking up is pretty much the best out of them, and it ain't even all that good.

Sonic Next Gen: ....Nah.

Unleashed: I was impressed with most stage BGMs, but otherwise, eh.

Secret Rings: Other than the main theme, the music is mostly alright. The boss themes sucked, but a few songs like Let the Speed Mend It and White of Sky stood out from the rest.

Black Knight: The remixes were cool, and the stage music is pretty sweet, but my favorite is definetely Live Life. It kinda reminds me of that old rock from like the 80s and stuff.

Colors: HIGH EXPECTATIONS MY FRIEND. HIGH.

Yes, yes.

Sonic Heroes sucked in terms of theme songs, but had pretty good level songs.

I liked the team themes, Stage music I found alright, just that "Sonic Heroes" Song which was rather eeeeh..

Shadow, I don't even [tornado fang]ing remember.

I loved the music in ShtHH.
That Eggman remix was sweet, as was that little remixed snippet of Live and learn when Shadow goes super.

Sonic the Hedgehog threw that [parasitic bomb] away. Songs just plain sucked, specially new remixes to old songs, and even level crap.

I liked the Crush 40 remix of All hail Shadow, and I didnt mind Dreams of Absolution, although like PB ha pointed out before, the voice was a bit TOO overly synthed out. The stage themes were nothing special, though I liked White Acropolis. (the first part)

Unleashed was a bit better bit still really not good.

Unleashed had good music. the only thing was the theme tended to grate on your nerves after always hearing it while you were on the world map.

Cant say for the other two since i didnt play them.

[Bueno Excelente]

I am not fond of songs that say the heroes' names directly and what they gotta do. Makes me feel like I'm in Dora the Explorer.

Eggman's theme is an exception because villanic songs are always awesome.

[Flame]

This machine doesnt exactly say the name, but plays around with it. "A shadow of myself just who am I" always makes me lol.

[Gaia]

Funny, because the first time I heard it it was in MIDI format.

.....what? Blue on the Run is EASILY one of the best Sonic boss themes ever.

[Shinigami No Tekken]

.....what? Blue on the Run is EASILY one of the best Sonic boss themes ever.

I DISAGREE.

[Hypershell]

*smacks Advent of Chaos with his magical talking fish*

PB's reasoning is unassailable; Blue On The Run is in fact one of the best Sonic boss themes ever.

Meh. It Has Come To This is better. Blue on the Run sucked. I'll admit, I liked the tune in the beginning, but otherwise, it was nothing special.

[Protoman Blues]

It Has Come To This is indeed a good boss theme. Hell, there's not a track of Secret Rings I didn't really like. White of Sky wasn't a bad song, just not really good for a Sonic song, IMO.

But Blue on the Run is hands down one of Sonic's best boss themes ever. Great opening, nice length, great guitar riffs & drums, good use of Secret Ring-ish sounds during the song. Overall a fantastic track.

[Shinigami No Tekken]

good use of Secret Ring-ish sounds during the song. Overall a fantastic track.

What's Secret Ring-ish?

[Mirby]

The sounds. lrn2rd >_>

[Bueno Excelente]

I'm gonna stay out of this music debate. Not only am I the most unbearable guy in the world when talking about music, I'm a Prog fanboy. Sooooo, yeah. >_>
