Sonic dying a slow and painful death...

Yeah, it's pretty much just another Sonic racing game. ;__; Except with a few more platforming elements to trip you up as Shadow wins the race by cutting himself for a speed boost. Developed by Backbone, too. The team that made DEATH JR. Quality ahoy! And this new Sonic for PS3/360 looks about as exciting as Sonic Heroes and Shadow the Hedgehog combined! Flaccid for gameplay.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I dunno, IGN updated with a few new screens today. I think this whole Shadow the Hedgehog style is going to be the real deal for the next Sonic.







I guess they're sorta on the right track by having just Sonic again instead of eight hundred other characters all fighting for a level each. Unless they reveal eight hundred new characters at E3. GUMBAZZO THE GIRAFFE, EARL THE SNAIL.

How ya doing, buddy?

The whole game is out of place. Reminds me of that Flintstones game that was based on the movie, which was based on the cartoon, which.. something.. something. Anyway they made the games characters look like the real life actors and it gave everyone instant bowel cancer.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Not very encouraging to me.

It needs more Jeeps, guns, characters with a secret past and bullshit.
