Lothar rant hits a sore spot (again)
Firstly I'd like to promote my friends webcomic Exterminatus now. It's an excellent comic loosely based on Sonic and drawn by The Virus, an excellent Furry artist. If you check out this weeks comic's notes you'll see the writer Lothar ripping apart the Sonic Series.
He recently did Teen Titans. Not that I'm that much of a fan to be offended but I think he summed it up when he said "I haven't seen Teen Titans".
Today he rips Sonic. Now I'll be the first to say the Sonic Series isn't as good as it used to be (same goes for a lot of other classic games series though). However to then promote Halo is an insult.
Halo while being a good game is flawed. I have never found it more fun than any Sonic game (with the exception of some of the old game gear/Master system games and Sonic advance 2) because it feels to much like a Generic FPS. Then consider the boring corridors you run down for each level. There's only 5 levels that you do twice.
Then you have the whole driving thing. It's meant to make Halo unique but it's poorly done. Why do they insist on FPS controls to drive vehicles when they could've used Normal racing controls? It makes the whole thing unnecessarily awkward.
Finally the game could do with more customisation of your characters in multiplayer. The only thing you can do is change your armour's colour. Boring. Then compare it to other FPS's and it feels weak in multiplayer compared to say Timesplitters 2, Goldeneye and Perfect Dark.
Halo tries so hard to be different but whatever it does differently it does awkwardly. It's a well done FPS but I hardly stands from the crowd.
Compare to say Sonic which is still as fast and thrilling as the originals. Nothing compares to it in terms of Style. It's unique, Halo isn't.
Halo is a great game, Halo 2 is on my wanted list. But it isn't as good as some people say. Sonic takes a hammering these days, people are being to critical of the Blue Hedgehog. It's much better than what people say.
Sonic 3 & Knuckles, And Sonic Adventure 2 sits proudly in my top ten games of all time list. Halo is no where near it.

Fanfic Progress:
I should finish Apocolypse's Revival Tonight. Currently writing the ending.
