I don't know if I can take another Sonic game - I mean back in the mid-1990s he was the reason that I flunked out of college (I'm almost finished with Paralegal Studies now with a 3.9 GPA). You wouldn't believe how happy I was to purchase a used copy of Sonic CD for $35.00 USD or finally own all of the Sonic the Hedgehog cartridges for Genesis. I even remember finally tracking down a 32X to play Knuckles Chaotix but not finding the game and being CRUSHED.
Now whenever I hear about a new Sonic game being developed my first impulse is to cringe at the thought. The Game Boy Advance Sonic games were only half-decent (just hold right and jump occasionally) but the addition of needless gimmicks in the console Sonic games after 2001 has turned old-school Sonic fans away. I was hoping that Sonic Unleashed would break the mediocrity streak, but fighting as a hulking hedgehog by night? Oooookkkkaayyyyyy...
