Sonic gets another game on the PSP.
Not much to say here, really, but various sources have confirmed (GameInformer, some random online store, GameTrailers) the existence of a sequel to Sonic's PSP debut, Sonic Rivals! The game is set to come out on November 6th this year, and will be on sale for $39.99.
No other details have been revealed regarding the content of the game. Stay tuned to Sonic News for further developments!

the first one was easy and only good if you played in multiplayer with a friend, i hope they add infrastructure to race with people everywhere
Awesome, loved the first one
Hope they fix the level glitches
hated the first one.... hated every sonic game since sonic adventure.... loved the oldies on megadrive. Sonic team need a good kick up the arse and a course of nostalgia pills
cant agree with you more man, though you should check out sonic and the secret rings, it sort of goes back to just being about speed and fun and not just a lame story with sh1tty voiceovers like past sonic 3d gamesQuote:

edit - damn, i wanted my 1000th post to be epic . . . .
Sonic isn't Sonic anymore, they should go back to the old days.
The sequal to Sonic Rivals isn't welcome.
man i think this sonic game sux they could have done much better
Oh my god, it is a nightmare. Sonic Rivals is an horrible game. Please Sega, make a Sonic Adventure style Sonic game or go back to the 2D graphics making a sequel to Sonic Advance or Sonic Battle.
I have some mixed emotions about Sonic Rivals.
I like the fast-paced gameplay, but... it's not the Sonic platform game I wanted. It was just a "win your rivals" games. Not a game with levels... This game could have been something really different... Something like a revamped Sonic 2. It's graphics were really good for the PSP, and it would have been perfect if it was an original Sonic game.
Personally, I liked Sonic Adventure 2 Battle on the GameCube, even if it was after Sonic's decline era. Sonic Heroes... Shadow The Hedgehog... Sonic Riders... Duh... Rubbish...RUBBISH...
Damn,that's a huge meatball.Quote:

yeah... good graphics though :o
man if i was to actually buy sonic riders when it first came out i would be mad good thing i have an oe i can try the game before i buy it its what u usually do if i like a game saves me money lol thanks D-A
the first one was crap, I hated the idea of a racing game.............i hope this one will have a major improvement!
Glad I'm not the only one who hated the first one, I cant believe it sold well enough to get a sequel.
Sonic 2 will always be my favourite, all the megadrive platform sonic games were great. The GBA games aren't bad either. Sonic should be a 2d platformer, the game mechanics work best in that format.
All of the 3d games have been awful IMO, the engine from sonic rivals could make a great 2d playfield/ 3d look platformer, but this whole 'racing' theme is just boring beyond belief.
MAKE A PROPER SONIC GAME FOR PSP!!
At least we have emulation :)
I was looking forward to this game, 3d graphics in a 2d setting, then they...made it into a racing game.
yea 3d graphics, 2d setting like in genesis
like they did for new super mario bros ds
It seems like they have to keep adding new characters to do anything "new". I know that Mario games add new characters as well, but most have the same "core" cast of mainstays (those in Mario Kart and Mario party, for example). They almost have a rainbow of hedgehogs:
Sonic: Blue/Yellow (when he is Super Sonic)
Knuckles: Red (I know he's an echidna, but they're pretty much the same thing)
Amy: Pink (because she's a girl)
Shadow: Black (suprised?)
Silver (They keep getting more creative): Silver/White
Knuckles was cool, he could glide and climb walls with his awesome spike-fists. Every lad needs his lass, so Amy is OK as well. But they keep running out of ideas. I don't want to buy the new games, because I+ don't want any of their "innovation." There is a reason Mega Man is fun. Capcom changes very little in each game, and even in games like Megaman Zero the game is kept a side-scroller, along with becoming much more open-ended. The Battle Network games take very little from this original formula, and although the first was entertaining (and the others repetitive sequels that have devolved into having "different" versions, they are not Mega Man. Nintendo innovates well with its flagship series, and SEGA does not (I'm not implying that they are not creative in other areas).
The original Sonic games were good because they were fast and fun. Sonic Adventure was good because it was too (at least in the Action Stages). Nothing else works, and SEGA needs to realize that. Nothing else is good enough. Nothing else is Sonic.
Has anyone played Sonic Rush on the DS? I hear that's supposed to be pretty good.
