5.0 out of 5 stars
Ingore The Critics..., October 14, 2003
This review is from: Sonic Underground - Dr. Robotnik's Revenge (DVD)
This is probably the most neglected show of the series, and gets a lot of critisism from across the board... but it really doesn't deserve it. You can see right from first watching the show that an incredible amount of effort went into the creation of this series. The artwork of the series is quite clearly top notch quality, definately SatAM quality, in fact I suspect it may be by the same people (like the storyline). An incredible amount of detail went into both the characters and backgrounds, and all I can critisise if the fact that it sometimes 'moves' along *too* smooth... probably because it uses CG as opposed to the cells that cartoons used to use. Another example of effort in this series comes from the fact that each and every episode has it's own 'song' which they sing... while many people critisise them for this, as it's kinda cheesy, it does show pure dedication, managing to write and record songs for all 40 episodes, and I can really respect this amount of work. The place where this show falls down however is the fact that it is not very accurate to the games. It deviates very far, and the storyline only bares a vague resemblence to the games. However, it's still a very well written show and the new characters are excellent. Manic in particular is a hillarious character, definately beating Sega's own other hedgehogs (like the Sonic rip-off that is Mighty... or Shadow, who is the biggest cliche since Cloud Strife), and is really the star of the show. That said, Sonia isn't bad at all, although her voice leaves something to be desired. Overall, I highly recommend this show. If your expecting accuracy to the video game, forget this and go for Sonic The Hedgehog - Super Sonic. However, if your after a top notch show, and want a bit of SatAM flavour with a twist, you just can't go wrong with Sonic Underground. Give it a go, you just might like it!

4.0 out of 5 stars
Oh, the nostalgia!, August 8, 2006
This review is from: Sonic Underground - Dr. Robotnik's Revenge (DVD)
Okay, people, this is just my opinion - yes, I know the plot doesn't have too much going for it, yes, I know the songs get annoying, yes, I know that it throws in two completely new characters - but all that's been said.
When I watched SU, I was eleven. I *loved* it. Not only was it the only Sonic program on air in my area at the time, I genuinely loved the music, loved the songs, and loved the characters. Now that I'm older, I do see the weaknesses in the plot, and yes, it's not as good as SatAm plotwise. But it's still a wonderfully entertaining program for me. I'll always enjoy it, even if only due to my old fondness for it.
The songs (and Sonia's voice) may seem annoying at first, but once you get used to them, they're not too bad. (Seriously, once they've repeated in your head about fifty times, you either go nuts or start liking them.) Plus, in my mind, Sonic made a cool Prince before I ever knew about Sally. So I recommend it, but still, ya gotta make your own decisions on what's "way past cool", ne?

It's Sonic. It's Jaleel White. It's good., December 13, 2005
This review is from: Sonic Underground - Dr. Robotnik's Revenge (DVD)
I don't know what excuse for a human being went and trashed this entire review section, but he really needs to get a life. This is a good show and a good DVD. Hearing Jaleel White doing the voice of Sonic again is music to my ears. It my not be anywhere as good as the SatAM show was, but I'm giving it five stars just to make up for all of the poor "reviews" there are on here.
