Sonic Underground - Dr. Robotnik's Revenge Reviews
It was all right...
Sonic Underground has never really been my favorite. The voice acting isn't really that good, and some of the songs in the episodes are really bad. But the fact that they bothered to make a song for every episode really impresses me, though not all of them were good songs... But if you're stuck between Sonic the Hedgehog/SatAM/ The only one with Sally in it and this one, think of what you really are looking for. If the comic continuity is the most wonderful thing to you, get SatAM/Sonic the Hedgehog. if you're looking for something different and you've already seen the comic and game continuity, get this one. The reason I say this is because if you watch this one first, you might get confused as to what the game and comic continuity is all about. If you're a true Sonic fan, and you've got some time and money, buy this DVD ^^
Underated and Overated
Firstly, some of the comments about Sonic Underground DO have valid reasoning behind them
1. It IS inferior to the second Sonic cartoon, Sonic SATAM
2. It features two "Mary Sue" characters posing as Sonic's siblings, effecitivly making the hardcore fans of Sonic completly oblivious to thier roles in the series
3. It completly re-invents Sonic, he is now a musician in a band, a cover for his role as a freedom figter, and he is royalty, on the search for his mother (yes, his mother, covieniantly the former ruler of Mobius, give me a bloody break)
4. It makes no effort to be original, the above premise is only a SMALL tweaking of the entire plot of Sonic SATAM, Robotnik rules Mobius and the Freedom Fighters are in conflict with him
5. The theme song is TERRIBLE
But "Sonic Underground" has good points to it, throughout it's run, the series had some moments of true greatness
1. The first five episodes are very well written, give some insight into the characters of Manic and Sonia to associate them better with the audience, and has some emotional scenes.
2. Later episodes, such as "The Crisis of the Chaos Emerald" three-parter, features the first apperance of Knuckles and the Floating Island in an american Sonic cartoon
3. Sleet and Dingo are two bungling bounty hunters who are hilarious to watch
4. Sonic's humour has not been forgotten
5. The animation is brathtaking, and the sereis comes off as a genuine effort to make a good Sonic cartoon despite the apathy it recieved.
I'm more of a Sonic SATAM fan, but I highly recommend this DVD to anyone who is a hardcore Sonic fan, judge for yourselves if this is a work of art or a piece of crap, it is niether the former or the latter in my opinion.
