Lots of video game series has a puzzle game spin-off and since it is Sonic Month, I thought I'd review Sonic Eraser.

When you turn on the game you think "Where's Sonic? What's with the generic book with generic text?" My answer to that is, beats me. What can I say about this? Honestly, where the heck is Sonic? Well he is in the game, but only in the two player mode. Don't ask me why they didn't stylize it with a Sonic style. Don't ask why Sonic isn't on the title screen and don't ask me anything about where Sonic is.

This game is heavily focused on two player. Just about every option in the menu has versus in the name. I honestly didn't know which one to pick. There are two ways to play by yourself 1P vs. Comp, of course, or by picking 1P and 2P. Why can they just make an option called Singleplayer or 1P Game like every other game EVER.

Starting the game you'll notice the music. It's not bad but it's not good. It's.........boring. Yeah, boring. Don't worry, I won't be using that word too much. So when you start playing you'll notice the graphics are just so.....boring. The only thing this game really has for graphics are just colored shapes. That's it. Shapes.

The music is, like I said, boring. It's just the same beats over and over. The same bland boring beats. The music in the versus mode iss terrible. The game play isn't anything special, it's really boring. It's like Tetris without any of the fun that made Tetris what it is. In fact it's worse. You can't move the shapes vertically. So yeah, it's boring.

It's sounds like I'm being harsh, but in reality, that's exactly what I'm doing. There is no redeeming factors about this game. Boring music, boring graphics, boring game play, boring everything. Everything is so boring. It doesn't even have anything to do with Sonic. I actually forgot I was writing a review about a Sonic game at one point. No joke, and I bet you did too. Sonic Eraser gets a 1.3 out of 10

The way you wrote this is very clever; I like it when there's sarcasm in a review. But there's no format. You'll hear a lot of this in the game review forum and I'm surprised this review got as far off of the first page as it did without someone mentioning it. You've got writing skill but and it's obvious that the game has little depth, addictiveness or difficulty, but I want to hear it in your words.

I rarely play puzzle games anyway but now I know not to get fooled by the Sonic illusion if I was ever in the mood for one. Thanks!

Why was this only released in Japan?
