Rev Up Those Sonic Cycles

[Rökkan]

What worries me on that trailer is that there is almost absolutely nothing on it other than running. There is nothing that convinces me that either gameplay will actually present variety and interesting things to do rather than watch as Sonic runs through pretty landscapes :I

But there are a few interesting things, Chemical Plant has those chemical blobs of liquid, water, those shifting block platforms, and City Escape's got that truck, the skateboarding, the spin-grinding. Maybe it's because all evidence leads to the fact that each Sonic has just one act per level, and knowing that and how the levels are so short too (two minutes and a half long +/-), the focus of mindless running rather than the gimmicks and peculiarities of each level just weighs down a lot more.
