I've played for around 40 minutes and just got the first Chaos Emerald. The setting is cool and from what little I've seen of the characters, they feel right. But everything else about the game feels wrong to me. The way Sonic moves is too slippery for comfortably fighting the big boss type enemies, and the platforming is atrocious, especially with the pop-in. The world doesn't feel too much like Sonic's either: it's like somebody made an Unreal terrain demo and plopped down some rings, springs, and rails. The "cyber space" stages are way too short. It's like the day stages from Unleashed, but worse.

Thoughts?

You can adjust sensitivity in the options. I've played through it and it's a pretty solid game. Biggest drawback for me was having to hunt down memory tokens.

Interesting that there are two sets of diametrically opposed opinions! While I appreciate the note about adjusting the sensitivity, do you think the game becomes less bland and more interesting as it opens up?

Did you guys dislike the game for the same reasons I am right now, or does it get worse somehow later?

If you aren't enjoying the game after a few hours you can probably stop. For me I'd say the game's peak is the first two areas of the game (there are 5 total). If you aren't enjoying the game by the time you reach or complete the second area then you should stop playing.

The third area has the worst world design, and the novelty of the game starts to wear off. Assuming you were enjoying the novelty.

Each island is different except the last two since the first and last two were part of the same area in the beta. At best get up a lot of those purple tokens and go to bigs fishing spot. Run up your points from catching fish and use them to buy a bunch of those attack and defense seeds. See elder koco and bam! Overpowered sonic.

Sonic's spikes are shorter so stop playing immediately.
