Sonic at the Olympic Games

I know. Some of you guys may think I’m crazy for saying this. But take this from a person who’s playing almost all sonic games, mobile and console wise. At first, the game was fairly decent to play. I loved the most of what I faced. But after that first major plot after the Metal Sonic challenge. A paywall appeared. Yes. You have to pay to play the rest of the game. Now I know what you’re thinking. (It’s not too bad to pay for it. You’re being too picky.) You may be right on that, but you have to remember the majority of people were expecting the micro transactions and the game to be two separate things in the game instead of it being the main way to play the whole thing. It was a problem for Mario run at first and it’s a problem now for the free-to-play people. Don’t get me wrong, the game itself is promising. But I can’t give it anymore than a 3 star for how it ruined my expectations in just under 20 minutes. I know I may get bashed for speaking on this small thing but it was something I had to mention. Just use this as a quick warning before playing this. Nonetheless it is my opinion. Thanks for reading. Enjoy your time on this game. :)

I preordered this game I have been pretty excited about it. It did take a very long time to download and the menu screens are slow like most reviews say. Overall I started playing and it actually was lots of fun. But then I ran into a problem. Just as you start to finish up your tutorial stages it starts the story of the game and objectives to progress and eventual win the game. I was really excited. So I tapped the next stage to start the campaign part of the game and WHOOPS!!! It says sorry you can’t go any further without a pass!!! 😱😱😱😱 I thought it was a joke at first. Maybe I was doing something wrong. I hoped I was wrong, but no it is very real. You have to PAY! To go any further in the game. This isn’t a joke. They force you to pay to play more. I can’t believe it. What a stupid concept. Why not just pay for the game up front. When you advertise something as free and only get a few Olympic events to play for free is a scam on my mind. I understand you have to make money, then make the app 4$ before you install. Then you can have your in app purchases to make the rest. Just a really stupid idea. I know what they thought though. Maybe if they got you started with 10 or more events you’ll want to try the rest and pay for the pass. Stupid! Ridiculous! Who knows you might have to pay more than once for more passes as up get further. Just really dumb. Could’ve been really good but that ruined it.

I saw this game and I was like “finally a new game to play I need something new” and then last night around 11:23PM i got a notification that it was ready and all it did was go to this white loading screen and I guess it would not be ready by the next morning and so then I wake up at 7:23AM and the game was kinda ready I just entered my age and stuff and an error just appeared and I was like “7 hours of maintenance for this??” and then 2 hours later around 9:06PM and it worked and so I did the tutorial for the games and then it had to download data and it was downloading but for some reason some error appeared again and I had to wait like 20 minutes and then yeah it finished and did the games which were fun and amusing and to think I was going to enjoy this game for the whole summer but then once I got to stage 1-9 which was Karate it said “You need An All Access Pass or Demo Premium Pass in order to play” and I checked what it was and you had to buy the All Access Pass for $4.99 which made me mad like to wait one month for a game that I thought was going to blow up but decided to go downhill immediately and for this many people could stop playing this game and not enjoy it anymore but so sad to see a game that I thought would be fun but only to pay to play😔

I preordered this game for the nostalgia I had towards playing Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games growing up. I thought this would be a great mobile game as the game showed so much promise by not not having ads, having the option to compete against others, game versatility/variety, nickname, badges, titles, and campaign. However, after you get passed a certain point, you literally have a pay for a pass to continue playing. At first I was confused and thought this was a joke but nope, definitely not free. I feel like the game had so much potential to be an amazing game but the pay to play, having to pay for passes to even complete the game is not only limiting but ruined the game. I definitely think this game should reference Nintendo and how they structure their mobile games. They allow players to have an ad-free, full game experience. That said, I think, instead of using passes, pay-to-play structure for this game, it should continue to be ad-free but be a full game and use add-ons, special characters, equipment to supplement the cost instead of using passes/pay-to-play! It make a significant difference! 👌🏼

I'm a bigtime Sonic fan. I got this game thinking it was gonna be something good, Instead of another round of "SEGA Forever ruins another classic". But, SEGA has grown kind of selfish. First it's SEGA forever buttloaded with ads, But this? Really? I was laughing, Cause SEGA made a game about the one place Coronavirus came from! Anyway, It was an amazing game! Perfect! But.... Wait.... Oh No.... Here we go! You knew it was coming, We all did. SEGA ruined yet again ANOTHER potential banger! This game was expected to blow up. After a certain point, You have to pay to play the rest of the game. At first I thought I must have clicked the wrong thing, But no. It's real. If you read the other reviews, You'll see what I mean. This game is awesome up until the pay part. You have to pay like $4 for a premium pass. Yes, It's true. The game is ruined. Please, Don't get this. Don't waste your time on a rip-off. Save yourself from disappointment. I wish I could have. This game is good, Up until the Karate stage, Where you need to pay to play the rest of the game. I would rate one star, But I'm doing two because at least the gameplay was good, And fun. :/ I'm disappointed with SEGA. I've been a Sonic fan for 6 years, And I don't expect this from them.
