General Sonic is Terrible Thread

[NICKtendo DS]

The game can be good, great, amazing even. I just won't take SEGA's word for it. I was willing to look past the designs, but after playing the 3DS demo and looking at the reviews of Rise of Lyric, my faith in Sonic Boom as a game franchise is severely damaged. Fire and Ice sounds like a failure because of that. (Not that it is, mind you)
Nevertheless, I'm curious as to how this game turns out. Maybe it can prove the big red mark on my face, the aftermath of my massive facepalm, unnecessary. Maybe. But I'm still sceptical.
