*Insert Picard facepalm here.* Seriously, I had high hopes for Sonic in the future, but I just don’t think anybody wants to play the same old game anymore. Give me Sonic 1 or Sonic 2 on the Sega Genesis, or give me Sonic Adventure 1 or 2 on the Sega Dreamcast, and I’ll play it and love it, but give me any other Sonic game, and I just might punch you in the face. You know what would revive the Sonic franchise? A good game. I bet if they took Super Mario Galaxy and skinned it with Sonic characters, it would be a huge hit. Why can’t they give Sonic an amazing and original game? I grew up on Sonic and Mario. I think it’s easy to guess which of those two characters is still a dominant force in gaming. Maybe this game will turn out good. I hope so…
