Sonic Shuffle for Dreamcast Videos >>
Rating Reviewed By AnoymousReview Date 10/17/2001 Overall Rating  4 of 5 Visitors rate this review 1.00 of 5, 2 votes Rate this review? Summary This game is a decent distraction from the other games on the market. Sure, it may have a baby storyline, dopey monsters in battle, and horrible lip syncing in the few cinemas, but apart from that, this is the game you will play for quite some time. It may not be Sonic Adventure, but I enjoyed it none the less.Sound The sound is basic stuff, normally found in a game of this style. Translation: good, but not great, like Soul Calibur.Gameplay The gameplay borrows a little bit from the Mario Party series, but makes it a whole lot better. By using cards, speeding up the turns(sometimes), and having some entertaining mini games, this is the one to buy for all of your parties.Would you like to Comment?

Summary This game came whith my Sega Dreamcast in a cool package i got the other day that costed 99$ and included Sonic Adventure, Sonic 2 Trial, a VMU A Dreamcast Generator Vol. 2. and of course this game. I played Sonic Shuffle for 5 min. then i turned it off. Worst game ever. I'm going to trade it in and get Solder Of Fortune.Sound The sound is what you would find on Nintendo 64 which is another great system. But Nintendo 64 doesent have the best of sound.Gameplay Its sorta like Mario Party but worse. You go around a gameboard and there are also some mini games.Would you like to Comment?

It's a million times more interesting and fun.Sound The sound is pretty good. It's not spectacular, but there's nothing bad about it. The characters mouths dont fit with the words, but I think that's beacause the game was originaly made in Japan.Gameplay I think this game plays very well. Although the tutorial doesn't explain everything, you can kind of figure it out with out reading the long instruction booklet. I don't understand why people are complaining about load time,it's not that long or annoying and they fill it with facts about forcejewels. The forcejewels(which are stone that you can get throughout the game. They do things like swppping your position with another character or making you move 5 spaces 3 turns in a row. add to the whole strategy thing. Unlike Mario Party there's more skill(rather then luck) invovlved. And the mini-games are more complex than most of Mario Party's. It actually matters what character you chose cause they have different special abilities (unlike Mario Party). Oh yeah, instead of Bowser there's Dr. Robotnik/Eggman.Would you like to Comment?

Summary A degraded, slow loading, dumb version of Mario Party. Its sad how much worse this game is then Mario Party. If you like crappy games then by all means buy this one.Sound The sound is good. They have the right amount of voices and the music is not the best, but not the worst.Gameplay The game is very confusing. I had no idea what to do at first. It uses cards instead of dice which is a nice innovation. It still doesn't even come close to the nice and easy gameplay of Mario Party.The cards make it kind of fun, because you can choose what number you want. The stupid thing is that some characters start out with a much better hand. You can't see there hand and they aren't supposed to see your hand, but I swear they can. They always seem to pick the right card from your cards. The mini-games are pretty fun. They are a nice change from Mario Party. Although a lot of games are basically the same as many on Mario Party. The loading sucks. It's like playing a computer game. Would you like to Comment? Join VideoGameReview for a free account, or Login if you are already a member. Summary Sonic Shuffle is a definite rip-off of Mario Party, but it does have its differences. This game might be better than Mario Party just because of it uniqueness. The plot (yes, there actually is a good plot!) revolves around our heroes (Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy Rose) are sent into a different world called Maginaryworld where people's dreams are processed. But the Precioustone that keeps Maginaryworld intact has been destroyed by an evil thief named Void. It's up to the gang to get the pieces back! But who will get them first...?I will compare this game to Mario Party throughout the review. Sound The character voice-overs are great, and the cast from Sonic Adventure has been kept, obviously, for fans. The music isn't even noticable, but the sound effects are great (there are laser blasts, booms, ka-chings, and all). Mario Party beats Sonic Shuffle for sound, though.Gameplay In Sonic Shuffle, you use cards instead of dice to move spaces, and depending on what space you land on, you can get rings, lose rings, have battles with a person or creature, have a mini event, or have a minigame. Even some of the cards can be dangerous. Mario Party's gameplay pales in comparison to Sonic Shuffle's.Would you like to Comment?
