I have a soft spot for Crush 40's Sonic Adventure-Sonic Adventure 2 anthems. They will be missed.

The regular speedy parts look rad. The fighting bits remind me of Knuckles' gameplay in the adventure games (Which was sometimes fun), but are far more campier due to the werehog factor.

The music is probably the worst part. I miss Julien-K. I also miss Crush40. Hell, I even miss those randoms that did Sonic Riders and Secret Ring's music...

I thought this trailer would be trouble because it plays right into the neurosis of people who whine about "waaaah, Sonic should only be about playing as Sonic and going as fast as possible, that's what classic Sonic was" (actually, no it wasn't). I'm not going to write this game off because it doesn't conform to some big baby's narrow idea of what Sonic should be. If the fighting bits are fun they should provide a decent alternative/relief to the speedspeedspeed bits.

The normal Sonic bits do look gorgeous.

We've all been burned by Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Heroes and they still don't realize we all just want to run.

"The new Sonic game will be mostly side scrolling."

*everyone leans in*

"It will be blisteringly fast and you only play as Sonic.*

*everyone leans in closer*

"Except for the parts where you stop and fight a bunch of robots"

*everyone gets punched in the face*
