Sega updated their official page for Sonic the Hedgehog, and revealed some awesome images of Tails. They also shown some "secret" shadowed characters that will be unveiled in the upcoming weeks, and it seems like there are some returning from Sonic Adventure.

DL the demo guys it's hard at first to get control, the controls are really weird and sonic's hard to control and its still way easy to fly off a edge which is unbelievably frustrating for a while but after a while it's second nature and its so much fun, I LOVE sonic games and this is for sure good ol' sonic

I got the demo too. I find the camera is really slow and anoying and sometimes there were a bit of slowdowns. Has anyone else experienced this problem

PS360PCROCKS6269d ago

yea the camera is slow but you get used to it and I did have one instance where it was like slow mo but I restarted the demo and it was ok

Snookies1225d ago

Definitely agreed. I loved Sonic Spinball back on Genesis. I want a new Mean Bean Machine too, while we're at it!

Sonic '06 has a special place in my heart.

It's the game that finalized my divorce from the franchise. I actually really liked most of the 3D games before the PS3/X360 era with this steaming pile. It doesn't help that this was the game that gave me RRoD either.

Chocoburger254d ago

There are many worse Sonic games than this one:

Sonic Labrynth
Sonic Free Riders
Sonic the Hedgehog on GBA
Sonic mobile games (too many to list)
Sonic Rivals 1 & 2
Sonic Game Gear titles

There's more I'm forgetting. But yeah, lazy low-hanging fruit, quickly shat out worthless article without substance beating a dead horse that's already been beaten for the past 17 years isn't enough.

Opinion piece.

And I would say that history tends to be lenient to games that aren't mainline titles and released on handhelds/secondary hardware (Kinect). We can easily acknowledge those games are bad, but you kind of expect it because they're either bad ports or spinoff titles.

As the first mainline game of gen 7, I can see some good arguments for this one being the worst.
