Hey SEGA, you can fix that line and replace it with something less dumb.

"Doctor Robotnik!" "That name brings so many good memories back."
*Robotnik remembers the good times of the 2D Sonic games*
*Robotnik remembers all the times he was defeated*
"No wait, it doesn't"

Trying to use nostalgia to sell a game and then making fun of that nostalgia isn't nice.

Classic Sonic levels are fun enough despite failing to properly emulate the physics and responsiveness of the classic Sonic games. The challenge involved in the modern Sonic levels, however, mostly seems to be derived from struggling with the sloppy control, often hostile camera placement, and figuring out at what vague point in the future the button commands you're being told to enter should be entered, because it sure as hell ain't while you're being prompted for them. Of course, that's mostly what I hate about basically all 3D platformers so I can't count it against this specific instance too badly.

Overall, the game is roughly par for the course as far as anniversary-celebrating fanservice games of longstanding franchises go. It nowhere near possesses the amount of loving attention to detail of Dissidia, but it's far above the laziness involved in just sticking Super Mario All-Stars on a Wii disc and selling it for the cost of a new game.

Robotnik is a way better name than Eggman, so...I'd say the yolk's on them. HAR HAR HAR

Colors was alright, so this one might be worth a go. PC version is nearly half the price of the console versions, so it's looking more like a digital download every minute.

From what I've seen of the 3DS edition, it's basically Sonic Rush 4... and I'm okay with that.

Just off the Demo - does anyone else hate the 'old' Sonic levels? The modern game play is basically the good parts of the Adventure series or Sonic Colors but the old one is... like too fast? Maybe it's a frame rate problem or something but I can't see anything if I go all out and it's impossible not to go fast.
