VentSorry, but Sonic Unleashed doesn't play like Sonic Adventure. Sonic Heroes = Awful, Shadow the Hedgehog = Awful, Sonic the Hedgehog '06 = Awful, Sonic & the Secret Rings = Awful (aside from minigames), Sonic & the Black Knight = Meh, Sonic Unleashed = Average, and Sonic Colors = Great... At least in my opinion, I hope SEGA continues to improve with Sonic Generations, though.

Sonic Unleashed started developed under the title "Sonic Adventure 3", and even in Japan it's called "Sonic World Adventure".
At this point in time, "Sonic Adventure 3" is nothing but a name people latch onto, like simply being called that will somehow ensure the next Sonic game will be good.
Sonic the Hedgehog 4 pretty much killed this line of thinking.

It's not about the name, it's about the game mechanics. Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 were more open-world and had level variety for different characters (I especially like the Run-Hunt-Shoot style of SA2). Sonic Unleashed was a good game, but it wasn't a Sonic Adventure game.

Sonic Heroes obviously started as SA3. Three characters, three teams (minus the Chaotix team, which seems like an after-thought), the fact the story continues from SA2's, etc.
Sonic The Abomination is obviously the closest we can have from SA3, and probably started with that name as well.
Sonic Unleashed started as SA3, too.
But none of these games get it right.
Here's what makes a Sonic Adventure game:
- Multiple playable characters, each with their own side of the story (Sonic The Abomination is mostly centered around Sonic, Shadow and Silver. Unleashed only has Sonic).
- The style must be part realistic, part abstract (Heroes looks too abstract. The Abomination doesn't get it right and does everything in a realistic way, even the abstract things look kind of realistic).
- All stories must meet at some points, but never come together entirely (Unleashed only has one playable character)
But, for me, SA3 is Heroes, SA4 is The Abomination, SA5 is Unleashed and SA6 is Colors. Because those are 3D Sonic adventures, and the characters have a lot of personality. Also, SA1 and SA2 started traditions (Amy mistaking someone for Sonic (Shadow in SA2, Silver in The Abomination, Sonic himself in Unleashed and probably Classic Sonic in Generations) (a Sky Chase level, you have one in Unleashed and one in Generations) (the final boss being some big bad monster of whatever).
...
Hell, the name doesn't matter. The fact it's part of the main series does.

Hey.
So, I just watched The Hangover Part II at the theater. It was hilarious. My parents were laughing out loud during the movie. But some parts were a bit... daring (and the ending contains a porn picture).
The movie is rated "Everyone", here, by the way.
I'm curious to know what's the movie's age rating in America.

Its rated R here... for the obvious reasons that you stated. And everything is rated higher in America.

I believe it was rated R (Restricted - Over 17) over here.
Edit: Wow, seriously? I got Ninja'd on HERE.

!!DOUBLE POSTING FOR THE WIN!!
Actually, that's not what I wanted to say at all.
KK, I remember you saying that you went to see Winnie the Pooh last Friday, when it came out.
I have also seen this particular movie, however on Monday.
Tell me, was it everything you remember from your childhood?

Winnie the Pooh ? Please tell me you're not serious about that. Please. I have respect for you. I am completely serious. That was my childhood. Disney has taken a serious nosedive, so it's great that they decided to show something like this. Really, they weren't even trying to cater to little kids when making this movie. One of the trailers I saw had a message on it that said, "Admit it. You miss them." Honestly, you take one look at them, see how they're all talking stuffed animals, and label them as a little kid's show. |

SORRY. I haven't seen it yet. And I probably won't get to see it this week either. GRRRR every time I try to see a movie it alwayss ends up being put off until the movie isn't new anymore. I got to see the last Harry Potter movie though, and it was amazing. (Koopalmer you may lose your respect for me as well  ) |
