Cool.
EDIT: HOLY FUCKING AWESOME, I can't believe I got it. Now I'll watch the video.
EDIT2: I take back my previous comment of 'Cool.' This looks pretty gay.

If you had to go to those lengths to accurately control it (which you don't), no one would ever complete a race.

Or... We could, like you know, use a controller. Much like we've done for over 20 years now...

That's right, kiddies, get in shape with Sonic and friends! Working out has never been so much fun! I mean, just look at the guy moving! He's totally not an actor, and he's having fun*!
 
*The factor of fun may differ from the commercial. You have officially been warned.

Woah, SEGA. With all these quality titles featuring Sonic, you're over saturate the market for redundant mascots.

With a sonic game like this where you are the controller, i wonder what happens on screen when you are sobbing in a corner (after buying this).

Sonic 4 convinced me that Sega needs to burnt to the ground. This makes me firmly believe that everyone who works there should be disemboweled and then rocketed into the sun.

While I wouldn't go THAT far, I do agree that Sega is absolutely horrible these days.  But, I also don't understand how they're still in business.  What was the last game they had that was considered good?

"FEEL the speed"... Does Kinect have a fan in it?  If Sonic dies, do you die?  Where do the rings come out on me when sonic gets hit?

Sonic the Hedgehog is the fastest thing alive. Why would he ever need a hover-board? Or any vehicle for that matter?

It's gonna be hard to get used to trailers like these.  Now Nintendo, MS, and Sony will promote games like this.

He's the fastest thing alive. A non-sentient hover-board can still be faster than him, though a sentient hover-board would be much more awesome.

Microsoft doesn't want reviews of Kinect until AFTER it's released. I think that says enough.

Does it come with its own infinite space room? Are they really expecting everyone out there to be able to do a 360 degree jump?

I'd be way more into it if it did come with an infinite space room. 
 
Also, did that 360-degree jump look slightly in-human to anyone else?

I thought Kinect was going to be different. I was wrong. The Move and Kinect are Wii clones with shovelware left right and centre. I'll stick with the Wii thanks >__>
