Nestalgia, my old friend...
You just reminded of when sonic games were good!!! It has the feel of the original(to me) and you can play as Tails, Knuckles(YAY!), or Cream from the start.(And of course Sonic the blue blur himself.) Don't get me wrong the recent sonic games are good (Ex: Sonic Heroes) but they,re just missing someting that the original sonic games captured in the 90's. Mayby it was becsause Sega's mascot wasn't constantly having new (SHITTY) characters added to his games, in a DESPERATE attempt to restore Sonic's former glory held in the 16-bit era when he actually did what he was created to do.(Steal Mario's throne, at least until Sega got "creative") Also I'd like to thank you for not including cutscenes OR voice acting. You don,t give a well established 'silent' game character a voice he didn't need in the first place!!! even if it's good voice-acting it still sounds akward!(Ex: Sonic Heroes) The only old 'silent' game character anyone wants to hear speak is Link, which won't happen because Nintendo's to fuckin' cheap to hire someone while they watse all the money they made from the once a year good game on shitty ass casual games that are SUPPOSED to be fun on the Wii, but instead makes you wish you had bought a 360 and were T-bagging some noobs on Halo 3, where the god-damned controlls are actually configured to WORK with the console!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!! Sorry, I went off on a rant, GREAT game though!!!= )
