Hahahaha oh blues, don't you ever change.

~What does up must come down / and yet my feet don't touch the ground / see the world spinning upside-down / a mighty crash without a sound!~

~I can feel your every rage / step aside I'll turn the page / breakin' through your crazy maze / like a laser beam, my eye's on you!~

~Watch me roll the night away / watch me save the day / feels like a storm is gettin' close / headed your way!~

Oh man, the 'Knuckles-themed' rap songs are even better.

I'm not quite sure whether that reaction is a good one or not.

It's a Barrelpants reaction. That's all you need to know.

So. I haven't played a Sonic game in ages, but Seil's graphic makes me wonder where the idea of Sonic having "friends" went wrong to the point where it's a deal breaker? One thing that I can see is that you probably shouldn't have ten character who can run just as fast as Sonic can if you want him to stay some kind of super-hedgehog, but I doubt that's the objection there.

Too lazy to start a thread for it, but I just played the trial version of Sonic 4. Very good. Visually it's great, with lots of little details. The homing attack is a nice addition. Sonic's running and spinball sprites(?) seem better than what I saw in the original trailer. Music of the first stage is decent. There are multiple pathways through the level. Only complaint right now is the price and that I didn't see any Chaos Emerald zones. Of course, that I didn't see the latter doesn't mean they aren't there.

It's more like he has 53987 of them and they add at least one every new game. There are so many that none of them matter because they never get decently characterized and some are outright aborted, like Silver, who had some great potential to be awesome and new and then got his awesome newness taken away so he could run fast like everyone else the very next game. Then some are just plain annoying.

Edit: It would be like if all the Robot Masters from every Mega Man game got permanently added to the cast.

I'm enjoying Sonic 4, and yes the Chaos Emerald zones are there. You get to them by having fifty rings at the end of a level. They're kind of like the ones in Sonic 1 except you rotate the level instead of moving Sonic and collect rings to get past barriers.

Edit: Not sure if fifty rings is required, but I'm guessing as much.

As far as I can recall, no one has ever run as fast as Sonic. Even in Sonic&Knuckles, he was significantly faster than everyone else to the point that the 2 player stages were actually hard to do with him because of his speed. He's also usually more mobile with powers geared for that. Sonic 3 gave him that flash attack/shield thing which evolved into the homing jump later.

Edit: I kinda miss the natural progression between levels that Sonic 3/Sonic&Knuckles had. Made it more immersive.
