I was amused by the fact that there was a Sonic Colors guide for some reason, so I opened it up to take a glance. That's when I found another great use for strategy guides: direct insight into a game's design. The Sonic Colors guide has simplified maps of each level, maps that might hint at the philosophy behind the game's level design.
And hey, it was 50% off that day. I needed help finding the rest of those red
So I now have maps of every level in Sonic Colors. I'm still going to make those maps for Sonic Adventure levels (I'll work hard on that next week, when I get back to Redmond), but it's nice that one game has already been done for us.

Also, another use for a strategy guide: ARTWORK. OFFICIAL, (mostly) CLEAN, (usually) DECENTLY-SIZED ARTWORK. My sole reason behind buying the KH2, Sonic Chronicles and Dissidia guides.

I wondered the same thing when I read "coins"...
ReplyDeleteWell, they ARE still used like money in the Sonicverse, aren't they? Maybe the red ones are... arcade tokens?

ReplyDeleteDon't worry, Whinnie. He's definitely okay - he's been posting on his forum. Either the idea well dried up for a while, or he's too busy at the moment.
ReplyDeleteokay , good to hear ! :D
ReplyDeletei didn't know he had a forum tho .. o.o; do you mind posting a link ? ^^;
The forum's for an entirely different work of mine. The Sonic Project isn't quite ready for a forum of its own... Not yet.
