Sonic Team Cracks Down on SA, CCR Cheating

About a week ago, the Sonic Team published this announcement, and it looks like cheaters will finally get their just desserts in the WRs:

It’s come to our attention that the Sonic Adventure World Ranking contest results are becoming tainted with altered scores.

We hate having to police the site but there is no alternative to the blatant cheating we are observing. We can not stop the use of peripherals that enhance your gaming experience, but in order to level the playing field for everyone, we must reserve the right to disqualify those score that just seem unrealistic. We hope you can understand our position.

GameSharks, controllers, and other devices are being used in SA and CCR. Finally, both Sega and the Sonic Team are catching on to this trend. Perhaps more gamers will participate in the WRs now that cheaters at least have a chance of being stopped.

We looked on GameShark’s web site, and we found the cheat to obtain a super low time on SA stages. If you dare to see it, click here. GameShark users, your secret has now been fully exposed on the Sonic Scene. Watch out.
