    Excellent demo. Really enjoyed the 3D version of Green Hill Zone. Really looking forward to re-playing some of my fave sonic adventure stages:D

    ****ing appalling demo this time around too.

    The game is simply too fast. It's not fun, there's no skill, you merely get by through luck or memory. The framerate stutters to a near halt during even the 2D sections, to the point where you simply cannot tell what is going on. Sonic shouldn't be a speed simulator. It should be a fast paced platformer. And yet the game feels spectacularly awkward when it forces you to stop. Press square to break wall? Ugh.

    New Sonic is fundamentally broken. Old Sonic isn't. In marrying the two, they've created a broken game that pisses on the grave of the Sonic of old in the process.

    Just play the old games. They're cheaper, better and run a whole lot better.

    It's weird they've apparently ****ed up the HD titles so profoundly, since Colours last year supposedly heralded the new generation of un-**** Sonic titles. How much difference can a year make, really?

    It's a shame if it does turn out a bit jagged, as it looked promising at one stage. Mind, with the Christmas I'm about to have, I imagine my wallet might be grateful if one title got dropped off the hefty game-shopping list.

    I'm a big fan of Sonic Adventures 1 and 2. I'm actually one of the few people who prefer them to the actually 2D sonic games. Really felt that the 3D section of the demo captured the essence of the Sonic Adventure titles. As such it gets a big thumbs up from me!!!

    Well Sonic Colours wasn't as amazing as the reviews said it was. It seems at this stage a Sonic game that doesn't totally suck will review well. Sonic Colours still had a lot of problems of the newer sonic games such as wonky 3D controls at times and the fact that it's too fast and for a game about speed it punishes you for going too fast since the designers set up 'psychic' traps and pitfalls.
