@J12088: Hate to break it to you, the debate over whether words have a 'u' in them is absolutely the least retarded thing about the English language.

Interesting fact: The voice of Sonic is the same for Ezio (AC2) and Chris Redfield (RE5)

Too many Owl City references.  Worst.  Band.  Ever.  The Wii is definitely improving in my eyes, very slowly though.  That intro song is shit to be fair.

Sonic should be about the thrill of speed, but whenever they put shit down that ruins the momentum it just goes fucking sideways and ends up ruining everything.

Nice visuals, but I feel like I'd get just as much from this by watching somebody play it as I would if I were playing it.

For god's sake, why does Ryan keep insisting that its "Green Zone"? Its "Green Hill Zone" and it always has been.

looks pretty sweet to me....between this and Donkey Kong I've never felt more of an urge to buy a Wii than at this moment.  But I won't.
 
Maybe I'm just growing tired of the same ol' shit on 360/PS3 that comes out.

Dude what the hell!? why do i wanna get this? like the level design seems fucking fantastic, most of the music seems great, and with japanese sound...it removes all of the american bullshit that actually makes Sonic worse than it is...other than the horrible third person stuff of recent years.
 
I have to say i hate the way it's advertised, at least in the UK, it drills home how much Sonic is for kids these days, but when i liked it, i was a kid, so whatevs on that.
 
Yeah it's a little like "Sonic Galaxy" but guess what? if that's what its gonna take to make at least seem not terrible from this perspective...where i am sitting! then gooooo for it.

Looks good, appreciate the fact that Sega took time to do decent looking cutscenes rather than slideshow art. Too bad Jaleel White couldn't voice Sonic as that would bring back memories.

I was tempted to get this game.  Very glad I didn't..  Seems to suffer from most of the same problems.. very linear, poor level design, constant speed pads and pits of death.  etc.
 
Definitely looks like an improvement but why are the games so on rails?  Sonic Adventure 1 was nearly the perfect format for Sonic in 3D and since then they seem to be trying to move away from it as much as possible.  This doesn't look Sonic 4 bad but still.

If they ever stop making video games, Team Sonic should start making 3D animations, because their movies always look awesome!

The game looks OK but man fuck Sonic. He's a terrible relic of laughably stupid 90s "attitude" even before you mix in the furry-esque dating princesses shit they've come up with in the last 10 years.

it looks better than Sonic 4 in every way, and already looks like a better way to expand on the old school. what i mean is, THIS is more what a sonic 4 should have been, not just a copy of everything that was already done in the past.

Kind of a shame, they stopped just before the point where I finally went "Okay, this game is fucking awesome.". Once you get a couple acts into sweet mountain (The candy place) and unlock the drill wisp, you start finding all sorts of crazy shit. Alternate underground paths, etc.
 
Also, mindfuck for Jeff, Ryan, and those who don't know: The guy voicing sonic there is also none other than Ezio and Chris Redfield.
