the demo was great, short, but great!
first majour sonic game i'll be buying since adventure 2 (battle)

i haven't played it yet but i did see game play and it looked exciting. ill definitely keep an eye out for this

For christ's sake, stop QQing. The demo is fun, that is all it matters. SEGA has the courtesy of allowing their fans to sample their upcoming project. Take the demo for what it is worth.

the game has sloppy frame rates, with I have a pet peeve about and the demo crashed midway through on my own experience. not feeling that good about the game now...

The demo was great, the only issue I ran into was at the beginning it was easy to lose track of Sonic when he was running fast due to the background. Other than that, it was really fun and the landscape was beautiful!

I'm kind of worried though because the game didn't showcase any of the "new Sonic" stuff. They did the same thing with the Unleashed demo IIRC. The problem with that game was the day time Sonic stuff was awesome and reminded everyone why the love Sonic but the night time stuff sucked and reminded everyone why they still hate Sonic!

I hated the demo, lost all hope of Sega ever doing him justice.

I played the demo, plays a lot like Sonic 2... but, I really had no fun with it... I honestly don't think I like Sonic 1 or 2 as I got them free again with PS+ and cannot enjoy them. At least Sonic CD and Sonic 3 and Knuckles are still good... aren't they?

ive been playing sonic games recently through the ps plus (sonic 1 & 2) and i love those still to this day. but this latest one is nothing special. i suppose it has to do with the nostalgia factor but even with its hd overhaul i feel it tries to hard, its hard to focus on the lush backgrounds and the gameplay didnt seem too fun.

i loved it. i have a few problems with it though:

1. the momentum is off. its there, but IMO theres too much of it. i dont know how people can say theres none - if you press across to run for 2 seconds, sonic keeps running for another 3 seconds after you let go, and thats not even after hitting a decent speed.

2. the framerate. when you start motoring, its not refreshing fast enough and you get a bit of a stuttering look.

other than that, will be buying on day 1. i made the mistake of doing that with sonic 4 too, but im confident this will be a good purchase.
