Sonic The Hedgehog xbox 360 demo

[Super Monkey Balls]

Worst Sonic game I've played to date, and the worst demo to appear on XBL marketplace. Tragic

Fusion Frenzy 2 is up btw

[Dogg Thang]

In fact I thought Mario SS was worse than Sonic Adv II or Sonic Heroes with a camera system just as flawed

Sunshine's camera was pox but Heores brought bad cameras to a whole other level. Heroes brought bad everything to a whole other level. I really enjoyed SA1 in spite of its small flaws. There was loads to enjoy in that game. The problem has been that, since that game, Sonic Team seem to have lost all hint of the enjoyment, instead spending their time turning those small flaws into almighty crimes against games.

Exactly. That's just how bad Sonic is.

[Super Monkey Balls]

Nothing is that bad. This seems better than Heroes so far.

Nah you need to play Shadow . The problem with SH wasn't so much the camera more the bugs and unfair deaths, and the fact that well most of the levels were sh8t and no sod wanted to play as a Tag Team . Even the most perfect camera system inthe world couldn't hide those failings.

Btw if we want to take the worst 3D Camera then Banjo-Kazooie takes my vote

Oh I don't know Shadow is worse far worse than Fusion Frenzy II. I

Worst camera dino crisis 3

Of course everyone can hope that this is a really early demo release and the full game will be far far better

Its not like its a console launch title and has to be done within a strict amount of time

[sj33]

Is this coming out for the PS3 at the same time?

[Geezer]

Yes, in the US.

[sj33]

Yes, in the US.

Cool. Since I'm a dumbass and will be trying to get a launch PS3 anyway, may as well get something to play on it.

[Riskbreaker]

Hmmm downloaded the demo again (out of boredom) and gave it another few go's. I'm actually getting it now, you have to homing attack everything; rails, enemies, ropes and provided you can do that with reasonable accuracy you can blast through the level with relative ease.

Still not happy with camera, on top of it moving too slowly I've also noticed there will be odd moments when you are standing on an isolated island wondering where to jump next and the camera will have moved to look down on Sonic at an angle which is a pain in the arse.

If they fix the camera I'll be tempted to pick this up at some point.

It's crap.
I loved sonic adventure 1 and hated SA2 but this demo is crap, the camera is crap, the controls are too sensitive, theres too many glitches and crap in here.
The main reason I liked sonic adventure 1 was the story but even with a perfect story this game looks like it could be ****.
I think im gonna cancel my pre-order for this game.

Wow, that was the worst bit o_O

Game isn't terrible, this talk of it being the worst thing on XBL is madness... but it needs a lot of work before final.

For example, it seems to have inherited the over-loose controls of Shadow the Hedgehog - bring back the tightness of SA2, you guys pefected the general feel of Sonic in that game, yet you've been messing with it ever since.
Camera, it's been said, too slow.

If the rest of the game holds up, I can overlook these flaws, but this is certainly not going to be the first 3D Sonic game that lives up to the 2D ones. But we knew that anyway.

Ewwwwww!

Started the demo fighting with the controls to try and get Sonic to hit all the boost ramps, missed and went hurtling to my death, twice, got crushed by a bridge I couldn't see because the camera was getting an extreme close up of Sonic's forehead. Controls are awful, camera is worse than SA1, not fast enough, it's just dull tbh.

Time to go back to the drawing board Sega, they can't honestly release this mess. I couldn't even muster enough enthusiasm to finish the demo, won't be going anywhere near the full version, unless the at least make an effort with the camera.

[Hodge]

Well they have another 2 months to sort the camera, controls and homing attack issues, lets hope they do.
