Oh Sonic... here we go again...

IGN gave it an 8.5 after taking off points for it being... too hard? What?


Anyways, this game looks pretty cool. I also heard that if you reserve it, you get some kinda sonic hat.

It said that it has artificial "bullshit" difficulty, as in throwing complete unexpected things at you and only being able to overcome through trial-and-error. Trial-and-error which IGN (or was it the GameTrailers review?) said that it is a pain in the ass because in later levels, checkpoints are way too far from each other, resulting in you going through a long minute-and-half segment only to face that segment with bullshit difficulty and die again.

GameTrailers gave it a 6.7, and I'll have to agree with their review (although I'd give it a higher score like 7.3). I played it (PAL version got leaked) for a while, and while it has AMAZING graphics (although it runs at like 20FPS or something uuggghhh), good level and game design, the controls are wonky as fuck. And the more I play it, the less the level design seems well-thought out. The more I played it, more parts appeared that were just "okay what the flying fuck does this game wants from me". It's a really bittersweet game. Bunch of really really good ideas, but either applied not well, either fucked because of the really wonky controls, or either mixed in with mediocre ideas.

Well, I don't know, I'll replay it more so that I can come to a final veredict, I only played it for a bit.
