Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed is a kart racing game, and a sequel to the 2010 Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing. Players select characters from various SEGA titles and race their karts while using and voiding a variety of weapons that can be launched. Karts can transform during certain moments in the race, to boats and planes, which alter the vehicle's handling. The game includes a Career mode, as well as the Grand Prix, Time Attack, and Single Races, as well as local races with up to four players, and online with up to ten players.

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed received fairly positive reviews with an average score of 82%, praised for offering enough challenge to both new and experienced players, as well as its overall level of fun.

The game is far more challenging than its predecessor, demanding some serious karting skills to get that Platinum. On top of which, there are a couple online trophies which can be a little complicated if attempted legitimately. However, if you purchase and download the Metal Sonic + Outrun Bay DLC, this causes a glitch which results in the Yokozuna trophy - perhaps the hardest in the game - to become much easier to unlock. With the DLC, and having some boosting partners to help with the online, the difficulty score could be brought down to a 3-star.

Expect roughly 25-35 hours of gameplay, depending on your skills. Though far more if you are not downloading the DLC.

NOTE: You will need 4 controllers for the Platinum.

You'll first want to hop into World Tour mode and make your way through, which you can play on either Easy or Normal, depending on your confidence. You'll be earning a few trophies naturally during this step. Once you've completed all the tours, you'll not only unlock the De Rol Le Credits trophy, but also Expert mode.

From this point, you'll want to return to the first tour and restart on Expert mode. Your ultimate goal, aside from completing Expert mode, will be to collect all 232 stars in World Tour for the All Stars trophy. You should also unlock a few more trophies during your progress.

Once that's finished, it's time to head into the Grand Prix on Expert mode, and finish first in order to get the Welcome To Victory Lane trophy. Having done this, as well as previously completed the World Tour on Expert, will also unlock the SEGA Super Star trophy.

Next, there are the Time Trial related trophies. The Yokozuna trophy requires you to beat all the Staff Ghosts, to which there are 160 ghosts to beat, four on each track. However, if you purchase and download the Metal Sonic + Outrun Bay DLC, this will cause a strange glitch where you'll only need to defeat ONE Expert Ghost for the Yokozuna trophy.

Next - or at any point during this roadmap - you can head online to unlock the two online trophies: Newtron and Race Leader. Team Sonic does not have to be done online, but if you already have your boosting partners, it's much easier. If you're looking for people to play with, check out the boosting forums under our Links tab.

Lastly, with all the difficult and time consuming stuff out of the way, simply head back into offline and mop-up any trophies you still might need. Regardless if you used the Yokozuna glitch or not, this is still a Platinum to be proud of.

Congratulations!

Sonic Unleashed

Sonic Unleashed is a platformer which combines behind-the-back third-person with 2D side-scrolling, and is part of the Sonic the Hedgehog series. Gameplay switches between fast-paced levels during daytime, and slower action-based during night-time where Sonic transforms into a Werehog. the setting takes place on different continents inspired by real-world locations.

Doctor Eggman has drained the power of the Chaos Emeralds in order to unleash a powerful creature known as Dark Gaia. The side effects of the drained Emeralds has caused Sonic to transform into a Werehog each night. Sonic must find a way to stop Doctor Eggman and the Dark Gaia, and restore the power of the Chaos Emeralds.

Sonic Unleashed received mixed reviews with an average score of 58%, praised for its beautiful graphics and environments, though criticized for the Werehog concept and night-time segments for slowing down the gameplay with too much combat.

This is a high 3-star rating, due to the difficulty in some of the challenges required, as well as a few time-consuming trophies. While a good chunk of the trophies shouldn't pose too much difficulty for average players, clearing all the Hot Dog missions will truly test your gaming skills, and requires much trial and error for completion. A few other trophies, such as for talking with all the townspeople or collecting all 400 medals, will add time to your gaming.

Expect roughly 40-50 hours of gameplay, though it heavily depends on your skills.

Start by simply playing through the Story mode. There are no missable trophies to worry about, so if you like, you can just enjoy the game from start to finish. If you want to make things easier for future play, try to upgrade your abilities as much as you can. Also, if you want to avoid more grinding later on, you can try to get all the medals as well.

Once that's finished, and if you haven't already, it's time to fully upgrade all your abilities. Make sure this is done before moving onto the Hot Dog missions.

Okay, time to turn to the Hot Dog missions, where you must complete all of them in each location. This is what generally makes or breaks getting the Platinum for most players, as they are very difficult and even frustrating. Remain patient and keep trying. Through trial and error, you'll eventually clear them. Be sure to check out the Sonic Unleashed trophy guide links for tips on how to beat these, under our Links tab.

If you managed to complete them, then congratulations! It's all downhill from here. Finally, just mop-up the remaining trophies you still may be missing. This may include collecting all the Medals, all the food, souvenirs, and a few others if you haven't done so already. Again, check out the Sonic Unleashed trophy guide links under our Links tab to see what you're missing and their requirements.

Good luck!

Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing

Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing is a kart racing game featuring characters from the SEGA Superstars, including from Sonic, Crazy Taxi, Virtua Fighter, and Alex Kidd titles.

Players can select between car, bike, or hovercraft vehicles as well as from a variety of characters, to race across various terrains. Power-ups can be collected to either boost the player's speed, or hinder their opponents. Up to four players can play in split-screen, and eight players online.

Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing received positive reviews, with an average score of 79%, praised for its controls, track design, natural drifting mechanics, and overall fun.

This is a high 2-star rating, mainly due to the 4 online trophies. One of which requires a "friend" to own the game, whom you can invite and play together. The other requires you to lap another online player, which can be difficult without boosting. However, with the exception of getting AAA ratings in the Mission mode, many of the offline trophies aren't too difficult, and can be earned while playing on the easy mode.

Overall, expect roughly 20-25 hours of gameplay for the Platinum.

First, you can knock out the Rolling Start trophy by completing the test drive.

After that, you can start on the Grand Prix Championships. There are no trophies related to the difficulty mode, so if you wish, feel free to select Beginner difficulty. Your goal is to complete the championships while coming in first place each time. This will not only net you the To Be This Good Takes Ages trophy, but several others along the way.

Next, start on the Mission Mode. Here, you'll need to get an AAA rating in all 64 missions. Some of these missions can be a bit tricky at times, but with patience and a constantly improving skill, you shouldn't have too much problem.

Then, it's time for the Time Trials. Hopefully, after completing the Grand Prix Championships and Missions, you should have enough SEGA miles to unlock all the tracks. If not, simply play some single races until you do. Then race the staff ghosts in each track to unlock the Time Trial trophies.

There are 4 online trophies to unlock, as well. You'll need to win an online race for Racing Hero, and collectively take down opponents 100 times for the Death Adder trophy. For the Dreamarena trophy, you'll need someone in your friend's list to invite or join to play with, which means either start making friends while playing online, or check out one of the boosting forums under our Links tab. Also, the Outrunner trophy is quite difficult without boosting, which involves completely lapping another player. Of course, this is still possible doing it legitimately, if your skills are up to par and one of the online players is having problems with their controller.

Once you have the four online trophies unlocked, simply mop-up anything you're still missing.

Sonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection Trophy Guide

Sonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection

Also known as Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection in its PAL format, the game is a grand compilation of Genesis/Mega Drive games - a total of 48, with a few unlockable 8-bit Sega games and arcade versions. Interviews with the original designers are also included, once unlocked. A great game for those wishing to relieve their childhood gaming days, or wish to see what gaming was like back in the '90's.

Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection received high praise for its presentation and large collection of great games, with an average rating of 90% by most online magazines.

For more information, check out our Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection Review.

With a collection of 48 nostalgic Genesis games, these trophies could have been time consuming (eg. One earned for completing each game) but instead the developers decided to simplify things.

There is a trophy related to nearly each game, and almost all of them are easy challenges which can be completed in the first few levels. The 1-star rating is due to its time consumption, which is definitely under 10 hours.

NOTE: Two controllers are required for one of the Trophies.

Nearly every game has its own particular challenge for unlocking a trophy. Level selects and cheat codes are available (see the guides in our Links page) which do not disable trophies. Also, each game allows up to 3 slots for saving, which can be useful during your trophy hunting. No trophies are missable, and you can select each game in any order.

For Blast Processing, you simply have to watch the Sega logo appear to count as having "played the game" - but each game must be loaded in ONE sitting!

No Life requires you to at least START each video unlocked, before exiting out.

And except for one challenge, all the unlockables needed for the Master The System coincide with the trophies - just hit the triangle button on the main screen to see a checklist of what you need to unlock.

Sonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection Review

9 / 10 Banzai!s

The Game:

Also known as Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection in Europe, Sonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection is a compilation of 48 Genesis – and a few Sega Master System – games, (re)developed in California, U.S., by Backbone Entertainment and published by Japan’s Sega company. The game was released for both the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 in North America on February 10, 2009, February 20th in Europe, and February 26th in Australia.

Some of the titles include such classics as Sonic 1 to 3, Altered Beasts (both the Genesis and arcade version) Phantasy Star 1 to 4, Ecco the Dolphin 1 and 2, Golden Axe 1 to 3, Shinobi 3, and Streets of Rage 1 to 3, among many others.

Not only were the games upgraded with Achievements and Trophies, but each individual title has three save slots, a menu screen which allows the player to “rate” their favorite games (much like a playlist on most computer music players) and interviews with some of the game’s original creators – spoken in Japanese but subtitled into English – which can be unlocked by performing certain challenges in particular games.

 

What I Liked:

As an avid fan of retro games, I loved having all these classic SEGA games compiled neatly (and with trophies!) onto a single blu-ray. It’s amazing to think how far technology has come, when we can take nearly 50 cartridges and squeeze them all onto a disk, and still have room to throw in a few added videos.

Playing each game, one after another, felt incredibly nostalgic. I was thrilled to replay the two first Genesis games I’d ever owned – Sonic the Hedgehog and Alien Storm. I remember buying those, along with a new Genesis system, with my hard-earned babysitting money and first playing them in a hotel in Florida during a snowstorm (yeah, go figure). Sure, most of these games could be considered far-outdated, but one thing many of them possess is the charm of playing a side-scroller, which has become rare in more 3-D games today. I’ve played the 2006 Sonic 360, and in my heart, it just doesn’t compare to the excitement of the original 2-D version.

Having the save slots was a nice treat, which meant not requiring to play the game from beginning to end in one sitting. As a result, I was able to clear many titles that I just didn’t have the time or patience for when I was a kid, such as Ecco the Dolphin or the later Sonic titles.

Not to sound like a Trophy Whore, but I had a lot of fun in collecting this Platinum. This game isn’t difficult to achieve 100% and is perfect for anyone with ADD. Just load up a game, play until you collect the required trophy, then load up the next one. It’s impossible to get bored, because you’re always playing something completely different, every twenty minutes.

 

What I Didn’t Like:

There were a few Genesis games I was disappointed to see didn’t make the collection. Populous was one of my all-time favorite titles, and I was hoping Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker would be on there, considering it was one of the first Genesis games. But to be fair, you can’t please everybody. And with 48 titles, there’s certainly something to please someone.

 

Overall:

Sonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection is a great experience for anyone who wishes to relive their past gaming. There are certainly enough titles in this collection to keep you busy for at least a year, if not longer. I can’t imagine anyone outside the Generation X bracket, like myself, who would enjoy playing such outdated games, but for those of you who grew up with Sonic and Ecco distracting you from your homework, this is a great PlayStation 3 title to have in your collection.
