I guess some guys at Sega played some Super Mario Galaxy and thought "Hey, we can do the same thing..."

I hate that intro song. I hate it because I work at GameStop and it plays on the store TV every 5 minutes or so.

A good 3D sonic game? 
A Wii sonic game that looks graphically better than the 360/PS3 versions of Sonic 4?

The homing attack... what the fuck? Everything about modern Sonic games looks almost okay to me, but then I see the homing attack and I actually feel anger. How is hitting the jump button twice (or the jump button and the homing attack button in succession) even considered an obstacle? Or fun to do?

I love that every Sonic game starts with a pre-rendered intro with horrifically shitty music.

You know, Sega, if you can't make 5 fingers look right on your malformed characters, no one would be offended if you just gave them 4.

Looks okay, better than sonic has been in a long time but, at this point sonic team. I just don't give a shit about sonic anymore. 
 
How about working on a new Billy Hatcher game? I'd be into that.

I can't play new Sonic games, because I once met somebody who had heard about a guy who had musical taste.

The game is good fun, I'm enjoying it more than the slightly lackluster & overpriced 4

The visuals and music are amazing. Controlling Sonic in 3D still looks awkward, though.

Sounded pretty much like pop punk to me. Probably a little more pop than punk, but still pop punk nonetheless.

This game has a wonderful soundtrack (barring the abysmal opening theme), and the level design gets a lot more interesting after the Tropical Resort set, but I can see how this game wouldn't be for everyone. It is somewhat remarkable that they shipped it without having you turn into a werewolf or ride in a dune buggy or something.

Looks pretty good, actually. Much better than 4, at least.
