Brutal Accomplishment 0

by Adam Blue • Editorial

A lot of people didn’t like Sonic Unleashed. I personally find it to be a great game. I originally figured it was universally panned because people do that with Sonic games. And evident by their achievements, or just by them admitting, most haven’t even played it. But there’s something else here that may turn people away – the game is brutal.

Playing the game, I feel ten again on a Saturday morning. This game is challenging. I haven’t played a game like this in a long time, and I’d almost compare it to Ninja Gaiden, though that was easy to master. Now this game isn’t difficult due to bad design. It’s designed to be hard. Last-minute reactions is really what the game’s difficulty centers around. And once you understand these last-minute ordeals, it then comes down to precision to pull it all off. Completing various levels, especially the end-game, I felt extremely accomplished. Here’s a video of the last level done to perfection. It may look easy…but it certainly isn’t:

I challenge everyone to play Sonic Unleashed. It’s fun, difficult, and rewarding.

What other games do you find to be a brutal accomplishment?
