" I eventually gave up because of how broken the fight was. "
I take it you've never fought that boss in Sonic 3 then? The strategy for beating him is exactly the same: jump into him head-on, without touching the spikes on his head or going underneath him. There is already a video online of someone beating the boss you are talking about in a single minute.

Attention old school Sonic fans: if your going to be playing this game expecting it to be the same in every way as the genesis games. Please don't buy, play, or especially review this game. Getting upset on how the game is not like the originals, is not a reason to immediately hate the game, and dawn Sega the title of the devil. This happens way too many times where a Sonic game is fairly well made, and is shot down by bad reviews. I'm not saying there are any old school Sonic fanatics out there that expect every Sonic game to be a genesis counterpart *cough* IGN *cough* Jim Sterling *cough*. I'm just making a point that you can't expect a game to stay the same for 20 years. P.S. Writing a list of items that were lacked in a Sonic game compared to the originals is not a review.
There's some stupid rumor going on about how Classic Sonic has the homing attack in the TGS demo. Did you notice this or is it BS?
It's not a rumor Timmi, it's true, at least in some of the demo builds around now. People are speculating that it is an upgrade, similar to those you could get in the old Sonic Adventure games. I won't mind having the homing attack as an option, since I probably just won't bother using it. However, if I can't have the option to turn off the targeting recticle for Classic Sonic, I will be a bit upset.

I couldn't agree with you more, I'm really sick of seeing people complain about Sonic games because they aren't exactly the same as the original. That's like complaining that Mario games don't have the same physics that the original game did. If you want to complain about Were-hog Sonic, that's legitimate, but I see people bitching about how classic Sonic doesn't have the EXACT controls in Generations.

I do not want to sound like a troll, but Hamza, what is wrong with you recently? Is the hotel you booked for the TGS that much of a mood killer?
I am worried about you.

Also: Where exactly are you guys seeing that Classic Sonic has a homing attack? Is there a link or a video?
There are plenty of screenshots and even animated gifs of the homing attack icon appearing in Class Green Hill.

And the video footage is on the official Japanese website; scroll down to where you can see the english word "movie" and click the image underneath it. Blink and you'll miss it, but those crosshairs are real.

Also, here is the animated gif: http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk161/NessAndLucas/1316270604355.gif
Oh geez, I just watched the video and that is indeed in there. But it's also interesting that Hamza didn't notice it. Maybe it's unlockable later in the game? At the very least, it's not in the console version.
The homing attack isn't in every build; so far its only been seen in the one trailer that SEGA themselves uploaded to their own official site.
Also, the boss fight isn't stupid. That boss and that pattern of attack has existed for 15 years now. Most people figured out how to beat him when they were five and six years old. You should be able to do the same now.

@JohnMigle, fuck that, I've been one of the biggest Sonic fans ever since Sonic 2 came out, and I'm definitely buying this, and I will enjoy it. I enjoyed the PS3 demo immensely and I expect no different from the 3DS.

People aren't usually mad at the mere fact that Sonic has changed, it is that the recent games have sucked. Or so I hear, the last "new" Sonic game I played was Sonic 06.

I might actually buy a Sonic game and it's not 1994. Hm, go figure. Wait, what the fuck did I just say?
I'm not usually one to bash bloggers, but that boss fight is a classic, and you called it broken because you couldn't figure it out? Did you even play Sonic 3?
