Rate the Game: Week 123 (THE REAL ONE!!!)

[M-A-G]

Time to crank out another one of these bad boys! It's Rate the Game: Week 123! We were dangerously close to having to do a redo of last week as Sonic Adventure for the Dreamcast didn't get much play across the TPWW Universe. I suppose it's safe to say that the Blue Blur wasn't in the same position in 1999-2000 as he was in 1990. But what position does he fall into with this title on our leaderboard? Behold, I say!

Unfortunately, Sonic Adventure, overall, can't hold a candle to the other Sonic titles we have on the list as it cranks out an average 3.0 and falls among the triple-digit territory at spot 104. That makes it the lowest ranked Sonic game we have...so far.

What else do we have in store? There's so little left but we have to press on regardless. Let's make this next drawing as easy as 1-2-3. Behold, the next game to rate here on Week 123!



OK, I know for a fact I filmed this fucker horizontally so what gives? Stupid technology. It looks weird. Anyway, let's examine what we got for this week's edition. We're not escaping Sega and its contributions to the gaming world. Just how great of a contribution is a matter of debate as we take a look at another animal from under their umbrella. It's the sea faring adventure with the mammal with the blowhole, Ecco the Dolphin! For most Genesis owners, having this game sitting alongside Sonic the Hedgehog was an important staple but what say you? Is Ecco cooler than Flipper? Smoother than Snowflake? Let's do this rating thing that we love (?) to do so well. And then there were two. Until next week!
