SECRET RINGS FTW. eh.

Sega should take a note from Ninty and "remake" Sonic 1-S&K into one super-long extra good looking game. Then shove in some extra levels, get rid of all the gay characters no one cares about, turn Dr Eggman back into Robotnik and put it on a DVD.

The demo of this was an absolute disgrace, so I didn't have much hope for the full game. Sonic adventure 1 and 2 on the DC weren't the greatest games, but they had a lot more going for them than the Sonic dirge that Sega have pumped out since.... Aside from Sonic Rush on the DS that is.

@Kif

Have you played any of the GBA sonics?

I had similar feelings about the demo on the 360.

The amount of gameplay I could actaully endure was minimal, as others have said its really easy to fall off. I dont know why they stuck you up there on that broekn bridge, how is it more fun than racing about where you cant fall off.

Also I hated the slingshot type things, which seem to have essential replaced what I referred to as 'revving' when I was a kid (hold down and jump). They would send you speeding forwards, but the camera would swing round just as you were about to regain control.

The result being you would watch to see where you'd end up and upon regaining control your thumb moved the joystick instincively. Only hthe camera had swapped about and sao the movement was essentially inverted and you'd go tumbling off the edge.

Also the auto-lock on, hit use to attack, system really wasn't very good. It was either way too easy, requiring no skill other than to hit the button without needing you to aim, orientate your character or even look at the screen. Or else hitting attack would in -fact, once again send you flying over the edge.

I didn't get to any lame RPG elements, the fundemental gameplay itself was torturous enough.

Some games don't need re-inventing, which I think NSMB proves. What sega need to do is go ahead and move the home console Sonics back to side-scrolling, and hire themselves some good level designers.

Apologies for the rant.

Even when I did get to more Sonic type gameplay, it was virtually impossible. Then they made me play as fucking TAILS!?!?!? What the fuck shit is that. Fuck you Sega.

This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who has played a 3D Sonic game in the past, oh, ten or so years. To anyone playing this game: good luck not falling off of shit and actually being able to move in the direction you intended.

While reading the post all I could think of was "I WANNA GO FAST!!! I WANNA GO FAST!!!"

Awesome movie.

Yes the demo did suck.. just let me stick with running in one direction and collecting coins and animals and sh*t like that..

Oh and the other stink burger that you can download the demo for... Superman Returns.. what a rotting piece of garbage...

OMG this is just another example of Sega hater Summa bashing Sonic without justification!11!!!! :P

Seriously, the Sonic Adventure games have never really worked. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the Wii version, but I agree Sonic Rush for DS is a great way to get an old-school fix in the meantime.

Sonic Rush for DS is pretty good. It's definitely the best Sonic game in a long time.
