Sonic The Hedgehog Star Recalls Struggle To Play Key Games For 1 Hilarious Reason

With the titles expected to be a key inspiration for the next movie, star Ben Schwartz recalls the hilarious struggle in playing the games. The third installment in the SEGA-based movie franchise will look to the second game as its key basis for its plot as it introduces Shadow the Hedgehog to its universe, who is set to be voiced by Keanu Reeves. The games were also notable for their expansion of G.U.N.'s tenuous relationship with the titular hedgehog and impact on the world at large.
During a recent interview with, Schwartz was asked about his preparation for filming , particularly which games he had played to do so. In looking at the games, the star confirmed that he did try to play the beloved titles, though recalled his hilarious struggle to do so stemming from its controls translating poorly to modern consoles, comparing it to recent ports of such titles as. Schwartz did, however, note that he watched video playthroughs of both games in order to better understand just how much they would factor into the next movie. Check out what Schwartz said below:
Yeah, so I downloaded [Sonic Adventure 2] on Xbox. I started playing it, and I found the controls to be so hard to play that game. To me, it wouldn't work. So I played it, I got to one of the Knuckles rounds where, for hours and hours, you're searching for little things, you fly around searching for stuff. And I found the controls to be so — I just didn't find them to be easy in that version of it. I wish I had the original, it must've been Dreamcast, right? Yeah, I wish I had a Dreamcast. I had that controller. I feel like it would've been so much easier. It's the same thing when I play Switch and I play N64, it's too hard. Even playing Mario 64, it's like I find the controls to be so difficult as opposed to when I had that old controller. But so what I did is — I'm not even calling it cheating, because I didn't beat the game — I watched a playthrough of the entire thing, to make sure I watched the entire thing. But I gave it my all, and then I was like, «I think this will take me so many days just to figure out how to handle these controls.» So I did a playthrough and got to watch the whole game, and it's amazing.
Also, there's so many specific things. Like, sometimes the audio mixing is bananas, sometimes the voices are over each other [laughs], and the music is so loud sometimes, and the music is amazing. And the story is — I mean, if you play that game, Sonic Adventure 2, the story is — I don't want to ruin it if people haven't seen it, but there are twists and turns in that story that are not evident in other Sonic stuff before it, I would say. So, I loved it, I got to watch it all, it was like watching a movie. I was like eating popcorn
