		<description>Well i totally disagree on sonic time twisted. It was a great game and i think people should pick it up. You can tell it is good because it feels like a sonic game. You bounce off the enemies and he accelerates at a good speed. 

Sonic time twisted is a great game compared to some other ones if you think about it. 

Ok it isn&#039;t perfect but it is still really fun. 

I agree that the flash game was good though.</description>

		<description>Please, stop fighting! It&#039;s Mr. Bloom&#039;s opinion, and like he said &quot;A review is a review&quot;. You shouldn&#039;t let it get to you, and I&#039;m the last person to say something like this. 

Everyone has there own opinion on things. There are those who thought Sonic &#039;06 was a worthless piece of trash that put Sonic to shame, and there are those who thought the game was a worthwhile experience, and it put Sonic on the right track for the Next-Gen consoles. Even after it was rated the &quot;Second Worst Xbox 360 Game Of  All Time&quot; there are still people who love it.

Mr. Bloom? How about you put Number Rating? That might help with reviews.

Tell me what you think!</description>

		<description>If you feel so bad, then why not just take it down like I ask?

Seriously I can take criticism look at Time Twisted thread in the Sage forum, and if this had been posted there, I would not be having issues with it.  I&#039;d actually probably thank you for posting.  But my point is this isn&#039;t even really a review heres why:

&quot;Not many fangames choose to replicate Sonic CD, and that sort of puzzles me. For all the talk about how Sonic CD is “the best of the 2D Sonic games”, most fangamers are content with creating their own sequel to the other games in the franchise. Perhaps it’s the work that puts them off - Sonic CD requires you to make four versions of each stage (Past, Present, Good Future and Bad Future).&quot;

OK here&#039;s a sort of small introduction that explains how Sonic CD works, Which is fine but it really doesn&#039;t say a lot about my game.  Its actually a bit missleading as my game only has 2 time zones

 &quot;That didn’t stop Overbound, the game’s creator, though. Unfortunately, one of the biggest problems I have with Time Twisted is regarding its level design. Some of it just doesn’t feel as natural as it could, and though the game’s time travel mechanic is implemented the same as Sonic CD’s, it feels like it takes a lot longer to execute - you have to keep running at top speed way too long, and the physics engine doesn’t support the methods you could use in Sonic CD to cheat and time travel,&quot;

Here you say the that the level design isn&#039;t that great well and the time travel takes a bit too long. So basicly you&#039;ve just listed one bug, and a generic negative comment about level design.

 &quot;but the game didn’t REALLY frustrate me until Majestic Mine Zone, where the level design whips out plenty of cheap hits - including enemies you don’t notice until they’ve already hit you. I took so many cheap hits, I never even got to finish the level at all.&quot;

Little bit more on level design here and you did not like the badniks ok.

So if you take this &quot;review&quot; remove all the filler talk it says this:

The level design isn&#039;t that great.  The time Jump takes too long and sometimes badniks take cheap shots at you.

That&#039;s no review its a paragraph about everything negative on my game with a bunch of small talk for filler.  As I said its a fine comment in the forums. But on the front Page of TSSZ (Probably the biggest Sonic News Site around) claiming to be a review, not so much.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m not in your face at all. The simple fact is, a review is a review, man. Which do you think is worse: Me saying &quot;The level design needs work and the difficulty got too cheap&quot; or you coming in here and posting 5 comments basically flipping out over one guy&#039;s opinion? A guy who, might I add, has been universally hard on everybody at SAGE this year. 

Settle down and get over it, man. It&#039;s not the end of the world, here. After what I said about ETCF and Sonic Frenzy Adventure, What did you expect, anyway? The concerns I had with your game are legitimate concerns and it&#039;s not as though I am unfairly singling you out - you&#039;re singling yourself out. 

Sorry I didn&#039;t like your game. I feel bad that you&#039;re acting so crazy over my negative review, but I explained why I was negative - and just because I don&#039;t follow the text book review standard doesn&#039;t negate the fact it is a review. 

I think you just need to go and cool off somewhere.</description>

		<description>At anyrate I do not understand why everyone has this in your face attitude and people won&#039;t just respect my wish to have this review removed. 

Huepow00 you&#039;ve probably been the most negative person during this whole thing.  With the name calling, and such you fan the flames.  I honestly expected more of you, I thought you were a decent guy, guess I was wrong.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve just never seen a real review not even mention graphics or sound.  All this does is point out a few bugs and that he didn&#039;t like the level design.  Its more of a comment about the game then anything else.  I just wish they did not play everyone like it was some sort of review.</description>
