Oooh, could this be a return to "old school" game play?
When I was young, just the word Sonic used to get me excited about a game. Today, the word Sonic makes me think it's a game best avoided.
SEGA has its work cut out to change that opinion.
Mario on the other hand, that's still a name that I'd associate with great games. Where exactly did Sonic go wrong?
By going 3D? I just don't think Sonic's speed translates well into the third dimension.Quote:

The Wii game Sonic Rings is supposed to be OK and is at least better than the 360 [retail] game [XBL Arcade: Sonic 1 and 2 are both great ports, but I've got the originals on the Mega Drive/Master System/Game Gear and compilations on the Saturn, PS2 and GC]
the wii game isnt great to be honest, but is probably better than the 360 one. My son adores sonic so we have them both, but they are pretty bad.. i remember the first time he saw the trailer for silver "he said look dad its like he is moving things with giant invisible forks"...ahh bless the innocence of youth and willingness to accept terrible games for their favourite characters :)
The 360 one was awful. They need to really rethink the Sonic games or go back to the formula that workedQuote:

From the trailer it looks quite a lot like the Sonic rivals games on the PSP...
