"Still too quick on the plot of the whole movie."

submission: Sonic Syythe World 16 +12

date: August 13, 2008

I still enjoy watching the SSW series, but there is one problem that happens in this series ever since a few episodes ago. This problem is not the extreme amount of death in this movie, it's the fact that much of the plot is way to rushed and not explained well enough, or there are areas not explained at all. Let me list a few of these
1. In episode 15, the last time you see Gingko, Sparky, and Zerofuse they were talking about some sort of bomb about to blow up the building. In this chapter, the are in a forest all of a sudden and Zerofuse is surrounded by symbol guardians. What happened between that point?
2. Melissa knows about the Z symbol and was chasing Shiva at the same time? It would be good to explain maybe later in the series.
Also, In a kind of morbid coincidence Melissa, Trust, and Celeron arrived in episode 8, and die 8 episodes later :P.
3. X disappears for quite a few episodes and then is killed right off the bat in this episode by a symbol who before last episode was hardly even a part in this movie. You could have made it a bit longer battle.
The battles in this movie were a bit lacking, but not as bad as the fights in SSW vs. SCD 2. First, you gave most of the hedgehogs the astro sign symbols, but only one (Sky) actually used it against the Z symbol. You could have made all of the hedgehogs that battled use their astro sign symbols, and then kill them off. Music wise, you pick the perfect selection of music for everything in this episode, so that's not a problem. My only problem that is kind of music related is when ever I click on the jukebox selection, It plays Metric Key on top of the main menu music. I know I can press stop to turn off all music, but if there is a way you could stop all music right as you open the jukebox selection that would be nice. Also, could you please add a return to main menu button at the end of the movie? Everything technical wise is ok with this movie, the only problem is the very jumpy and fast paced plot. It isn't good when now you have to deal with the plot of Static's story and the rest of the team's story. I think it would be best right now to divide the series into episodes dedicated for each story. That way you can focus on one story and not lose track of the other. Overall, effects and graphics wise, this is your best movie (I have been say that almost every movie you create, so your improving every time). As usual, take your time and don't add anymore unnecessary details unless it helps develop something in the plot. (I am not worried about you running out of ideas; the only problem is what you do with the ideas). Until next episode, good luck on SCD 4, SCD vs. SSW 3, and SCE 2 :) .

P.S. To all who are confused about the mist part, this is what the hedgehogs are saying

Flames: Mist?? I can't see!
Trust: I don't think the watchers can read what we're saying
Trust (again): I don't need my eyes to see!

I hope it helps out some confused viewers.

P.P.S. Would you please respond to this review. I don't really care about the contest. I only care if my review is helpful and is able to clear away confusion of any type. As long as you keep creating these movies, I will try my best to write helpful reviews.

P.P.P.S. Duuuuuuuuuude, I have the same Astro as Sprint XD.

"Just as good, if not better then SCD."

submission: Sonic Cursed Elements

date: August 8, 2008

When I first saw that you created a fourth series I though "Four series! I hope this one not like SSW or SSW vs. SCD were much of the plot felt like it was just put together randomly." I opened the video and pressed play. The intro was very good and kind of adds a little insight into what your movie is going to be like. I think you should put an intro into every one of your movies from now on. For the rest of the movie, I like the way that you develope everybody's personalities in this movie. Every character in this movie is not there just to take up space. Where some characters like Tebeor and Lunatus have pasts where events huant their lives even to the present, which I hope you build on next episode, Midity adds more of the humor into this serious video. As for the music, I don't know why it is that when I listen to the music you create without it being in a flash movie I don't like it, but when in a flash movie the music fits more perfectly then cogs in a factory. This episode also leaves alot in suspence, so it will leave me dieing for the next episode. Oh wait, my spirt is typing up this review, dang it :P. Anyhow, great job on the first episode of your 4th (wait, you created the Arnas Gems collection before I was on NG so 7th) series. The only thing I wish you could have done for this episode is add in an RPG for the snake battle part, but that would be kind of time consuming to create, so it is just one of those things that if you create it would make this even more of a kick a** submission, but it's not required. Finally, as for the way in which the order of all the episodes are created, I think you should work on SSW and get all of the episodes in that series done, because you are much further in that series than in the other series, so if you complete it you will have just gotten one series off your plate. As for everything else, your choice. Good luck on the next episodes of your collection of movies and most importantly take your time, it's not like if I die waiting for your next movie my spirt will come after you. Wait, this is my spirt typing the review, dang it again! XP

P.S. Dude, you exceeded the flash player frame limit. Cool.

"Still going strong!"

submission: Sonic Shorts: Volume 4

date: August 4, 2008

Everyone of the Sonic Shorts Volume has made me laugh at one point or another, this one is just as good at doing so. All of the shorts were funny in this volume, but the three that were the most funny were the first one with sonic holding tails to protect himself against the bullet, the tails doll/charmy, and the one with hyper sonic giving all the sonic charactors seiuzers. Like all of the other volumes, I couldn't really find any problems, but I think that you missed one person in the credits. The music that was played during the credits was a remix of Marble Garden zone from Sonic 3 which is called Marbled Beaches. The authour of this song is ManMadeMusic, which can be found on Newgrounds. I am pretty sure that this is the song, but if it isn't, please ignore this this area of my review. Anyway, good job to everyone who has sumbitted to this collection of sonic flash moves and I wish everybody, espesically to Thewax70, good luck on Volume 5.

"Oh..my gosh, This was HARD!!!"

submission: The Unfair Platformer

date: February 8, 2008

This game absolutely lived by it's name, "The Unfair Platformer." After playing this game for hours on end, I finally got to the last level, AFTER ABOUT 250 OR MORE DEATHS. The part I like about the game is it makes you think about what are you going to do to avoid one of the traps, and once you figure it out, you are hit with another. I would have to say level two and four are the hardest of this extremly hard game due to one set of traps in each of them that made it almost impossible (Level two: the stair case part, Level four the arrow part after the cheak point.) I do have a few things that I would like to see if you were to make a secound "Unfair Platformer." First, Could you add in different music for each level. I liked the music you picked "Sonic the Hedgehog, Spring yard zone," but after a while it gets repetive. I understand there is a mute option, but I would like to hear other music other than Spring Yard zone over and over. Also, could I suggest for the next game that you put in a level of reverse gravity traps. Anyhow, for one of the most fusturating games I have ever played, it was also one of the most fun.
Also, if anyone wants to see the rest of the game if you are stuck on one part, (even though I think you should play the whole thing though) here are the level codes.
Level 1-New game
Level 2-PLL1PE
Level 3-XZ589L
Level 4-KKLJH7
Level 5-7645UK
Level 6-E5G9GY
Level 7-OLKJ55

"Pretty good!"

submission: Sonic Clash episode 8

date: September 3, 2007

Graphics: 10/10- I like sprite movies, so I don't have a problem there
Interactivity: 10/10- Plenty of buttons, and a decent RPG battle. (my only complant about the RPG battle is that all you have to do is press "Limit" 3 times and you win).
Humor: The part were they found out the robots were stolen was funny.
Violents: 10/10- Most of the movie was battle, and really good battles.
Sound: 10/10- Good music slection.
Overall: 10/10- Even if I can't really follow much of the storyline on this movie, the fights in this movie make up for it.

Score: 7

"Far from your best, but still good!"

submission: Sonic Cosmic vs SSW 2

date: August 13, 2007

Some of the things I liked about this flash was the music and the humor that was available even though this movie was tense. The two parts I thought was funny was Kraig's farting attack and Relax's answer to Haku's qustion about what he does when he gets depressed. One things I disliked about this flash were that in the first two battles, both Roy and Kraig went down without a fight (exept for Kraig's fart attack, which was funny as heck). I think the last battle was the best because at least Target had a chance to attack. Another thing that I disliked was the ending was so abrupt, just ending with Relax's answer about what he does when he gets depressed. Now that I realize it there are already a lot of characters in both SSW and SCD plus the characters that are extra, so it is going to be a while before the battle betewen the people who won the first round. It's too bad that two of my favorite characters (one from SSW and one from SCD) lost already. The next characters that have made and apperance that I am rooting for is Static, then Haku, then Sky. For the next SCD vs SSW, try to make the battles longer, make it so that in the battles one of the characters isn't doomed to an instant defeat, and take your time. You have two other series you could work on that are currently left at a point were you can do a lot to the storyline. In fact, I think you should take a break from this for a while untill you get enough motivation. Without motivation there is no drive to make something better or to work hard at it. This is why the other series and SCD vs SSW 1 was better. Overall, this movie was good, if not great, but out of all your other movies this was a disappointment.

P.S. If you had a chance to read this whole review, thanks for your time!

"This game is awsome!"

submission: Unknown.

date: July 13, 2007

This game is one of the best of the Rock Out contents games that I have played and is some what original. It is great how the obsticals move on to the screen exactly on the beat. Also, I like fact that the background and obsticals changed in almost every song to match the mood of the song. Another thing I liked was the music selction you picked. Those songs were great. I only have one complant and one problem. My one complant is that the game over voice gets to be annoying after a while, but it is neat that you added that. And my one problem is when I lost on the song Midnight and click the restart button, the button didn't restart the song, but instead it set my score to zero. This only happened on this song. Other then that this is one of the best games (not just Rock Out contest games) that I have seen in a while.

Score: 9

"Very funny."

submission: random spritey goodness

date: June 28, 2007

For your first flash, this was awesome. My favorite part of the movie was Mario jumping into the pipe, slowmotion, with epic music, just to be stopped by a parana plant. The only major complant I have is that this movie is really, really, short (only three parts). Overall, This is probally one of the best first flashes that I have ever seen and I hope you keep on making more flash movies.

Score: 3

"Um... was this flash meant to be a joke?"

submission: Kewl Sonic Flash

date: June 26, 2007

Because the graphics were really bad and from what I heard there was no music in this flash at all. Even when I turned my volume up all the way I couldn't hear anything. If there was, add a pre-loader and then sound my come up. Next, you could have spelled out your words correctly, which would have made the flash look a whole lot better, and it still would have been as funny as it was (which wasn't very). I am sorry if this was suppost to be a joke, but I just think it wasn't a very good flash and you could have put in more of an effort.

Score: 10

"Not the best of the Kingdumb hearts but still good"

submission: Kingdumb hearts COM part2

date: June 19, 2007

This Kingdumb hearts felt kind of short compared to the other ones, but it was still really, really funny. It was funny seeing how fake Riku could only move his arms back and forth while Riku could breakdance like a pro and still everybody was awestruck by fake Riku and the fact that at the end the best plan they could come up with was to dance. The only problem with the movie was the fact that when the movie was done loading the play button showed up for a split secound, but then it jumped right into the movie before you could even click it, but I am not counting off any points for that because the movie still played. Overall this movie was kind of short, but it was so awesome that it made up for it.
