Sonic's 20th: Generations, Olympics, Storybook, All-Stars, CD, Episode 2

think Id rather have the Werehog.

Agreed! I can't believe anyone liked this game at all. I flaming hated it when i had it for a birthday as a kid. Everything felt so laggy to me.

Well personally I loved Sonic 4 Episode 1, infact I loved so much that it was my GOTY. The people that moaned about the physics or whatever were just being pedantic. So with that said, im quite interested in this, I just hope the other 3D sonic parts dont derail the rest of the game. IGN's quick preview sounds quite positive.

Oh and i'll just leave this here :

"In [Sonic the Hedgehog 4] Episode I, we didn't actually return to the old physics, and nor did we try to create something totally new," Iizuka says, "What we tried to do was respond to the voices we heard in the fans, and create something based on the feedback we were receiving from fans. On this occasion, with Sonic Generations, we've created a game with a totally different game and with completely different physics."

Different, but for classic 2D Sonic it's exactly the same – or, more accurately, it's exactly the same as you remember it. Sonic's movement seems much less stilted in Generations than it was in Sonic the Hedgehog 4, and gaining and maintaining momentum is a much more satisfying affair.

Yeah, 'or whatever'. It's not important, that physics the entire game is based around.

Actually, there was a peer-reviewed study last year that showed that Sonic is actually a big ol' pile of crap. Can't quite find the link but it's over at Science Daily somewhere so have a browse and I'm sure you'll find it - http://www.sciencedaily.com/

The 2D parts of this look like what Sonic 4 should have been in the first place

Cool, I'll try and find it. Sonic 4 was fun, great level design and its physics while different didnt break the game as people were implying.

I'm sure they'll cock it up somehow

Looks utterly brilliant .

[Brad]

I've yet to see a Sonic game I want to play. I even thought it was crap back in the day. This looks amazing though.

[toythatkills]

It looks incredible. I'm going to be so sad when everyone give it 2/10

[CMcK]

That looks great. Day one purchase for me.

[Baseley09]

Looks mint, still havnt played colours gah!

[wakka]

Well that looks ridiculously awesome. The fact that they've brought back Sonic's original character design is great too.

However we are all falling into the first stage of the Sonic cycle :|

Sonic 4 Episode 1 was okay, I certainly wouldn't say it was the worst game of last year (maybe the most disappointing for some, but definitely not the worst!). The physics were different, but it was obviously deliberate and they made it work. Certainly one of the best Sonic games of the last few years, although to be fair that's not really saying much.

EPIC Adventure warning...

I'm sad that UKR is no longer with us to provide official comment.

[abigsmurf]

Damn... this actually looks really really good.
