SEGA are at Number 1!

[Guest PupponVesh]

I haven't actually played the game, but it's nice to see Sega having a bit of success. If I remember rightly, it's their first number 1 since Virtua Tennis on Dreamcast (Sept 2000).

Well done Sega!

Top 5.

1) SONIC HEROES

Sure, why not?

And NFSU has been there long enough now surely

.::: Now the question; Did they deserve it?

A good question, but after all they've been through, I don't think anyone would begrudge them a bit of success, even if they got to number 1 with their worst game ever.

And no, I'm not saying SH's is Segas worst game, just hypothetically speaking.

Is this any good?

[Rushy]

Awful game, but in a way i'm glad Sega is making some cash so they can put it back into projects like Nights/JSR/Rez etc....

[Popo]

Is this any good?

Ahaha, don't even go there

[kev]

what!!! but the wise insight of knowledgable people on games forums across the internet assured me that stuff like sonic didn't sell well anymore!!

[Rin]

It's in the top 5 of the chart. Of course it's fucking good. How can that many people be wrong?

[Kelthink]

It's like when Ozzy Osbourne recently got to number 1 (great artist. Shit song).

Of course, it's worth noting that it's the time of the year when the lowest amount of games are usually sold (or pretty low, anyway).

[Popo]

Got a source on this? I can't find a site reporting it.

[Max M]

For all the talk of them being has-beens, Sonic and Mario still manage to be the biggest selling platformers. Even Sonic Adventure 2 Battle has passed 1 million in America alone.

It's just a shame Sonic Heroes isn't as good as the Adventure games. Also, has anyone played the PS2 version yet? You can play all three in Virgin Megastores (London) and I was shocked at just how poor it is compared to the other versions. I realise the PS2 versions are generally the lowest of the three machines, but the difference in quality is ridiculous, it almost looks like a PS1 game.

I wonder how many of these are returned after a week..

Rehash, rehash, rehash.

[Guest PupponVesh]

Chart-track, official site, is my source. Websites are a bit slow today.

[Beertiger]

while i'm glad it's not pissing NFSU again i'm dissapointed it's another bad game that replaces it.

still though good news for great developer. i suppose they do deserve it as a lot of their great games go unoticed.

[Mr Do 71]

Take that EA!

[rev-happy performance]

It's going to be discussed in the future?

This wouldn't install properly on my pc and made it permanently crash everytime it booted until I formatted and put a pirated one on and so obviously it went back

I'm loving Sonic Heroes. A far better concept than both the adventure games IMO, with a perfect difficulty curve. If anything, Sonic Heroes is a slap in the face to those who dismissed 3D Sonic as a push forward and turn off brain experience. SH makes you look before you leap, but still adds plenty of traditional blazing speed to the mix. Great stuff and a number one well earned.

What chart is this? I though the game only came out on Friday?

At least you didn't buy Sonic Heroes

[Sprite Machine]

Sonic Heroes is not terrible. It's simply very painfully average at best. I can think of a billon worse games. It's just that common forum thing that happens when something isn't amazing it has to be "shit" or "teh worst gam evar!!1".

[squirtle]

Where's Legacy of Kain: Defiance, by the way?

[IR354Lifeqhybot]

I just saw the PS2 version in Game and the graphics are shocking. I know graphics aren't everything but one hopes the GC & XBOX versions look tidier.

[squirtle]

I saw the GC version running on the big screen in my local Gamestation and it looked lush. Fast, smoother and really detailed with some great texture work.

God damn. Doesn't anyone in this thread look further than their ass.

My apologies for not providing a direct link, but I simply can't be arsed. Go to www.charttrack.co.uk and look about the UK software charts. For some reason, the charts come out on a monday, even though games are released on a friday, it's bizarre, but it's been going on for years.

BTW, spong are now reporting it as well.

No need for that. I'm sorry I missed the earlier mention.

£10 if you can name them.
