After 10 years of average and terrible Sonic games, Sega has FINALLY done it! I can't wait for Nov. 16th when the revival of the series shall be complete! :P

Sonic 4 has been getting (mostly) great reviews, and Sonic Colors looks like it will fare even better! (With a 9/10 from Nintendo Power and %86 on NGamer)! I've been waiting for a stinking DECADE for my fave game character to return to glory! (Yes, this means that I think the the Adventure games are freaking awesome, but everything after that...)

So, congrats to Sega for finally bringing Sonic back in the fray! And let's hope well for Sonic's upcoming 20th anniversary! B-)

You do not know how BEYOND HAPPY I am about these new Sonic games.

Sonic 4 was made by the same people who made all of those "average" Sonic games for the past decade...If the game wasn't called Sonic 4, you probably wouldn't even care about it. :)

So what did you think of the game after you played it?
Can we please fix the quoting system? Pretty please?

I only played the demo, but I loved it and want the game really bad now. Besides some mild physics issues, it was awesome.

I have to disagree with if it wasn't called Sonic 4 I people wouldn't care. It looks, and for the most part (besides the physics differences) feels like a real Sonic 4. It was a huge rush of nostalgia and was the most fun I've had with a Sonic game in a long time, and it was just the demo! ;)

I really didn't enjoy Sonic 4, such a disappointment to play after all the hype.

I just played the demo today and I have to say it really feels like Sonic 1-3 and Sonic and Knuckles....and that is a great thing. The graphics are really stunning but I think it would have been cool to make it look 16-bit like the originals in the same vain as what capcom did with making Megaman 9 and 10 look like true 8-bit sequels. But that is a minor gripe. I will hold off on buying the game because I am hoping that once all the episodes have been released they will be available to buy in one big downloadable pack. I was very impressed with the demo so kudos to Sega.

Well Sonic 4 was better than the other Sonic games since Adventure 2, but it wasn't amazing. I was only a little dissapointed, but Colors looks like it would be better than Adventure 2. So I'll get that shortly after it comes out.

I've got a copy of Sonic Colours on Pre-order, I'm looking forward to it immensely (and I'm not really a big sonic fan, either!)

On that note, is there no love for Sonic Rush? (the original, Adventure wasn't nearly as good), or is that just my fangirlism for Hideki Naganuma coming through? :P

I didnt think it felt anything like one of the original games to be honest. There was something really odd about the movements. The attacking in mid air is a nice touch i must admit, but it still feels so so dull, especially for the amount being charged.

@Kharnivore2099

I agree whole heartily that it is overpriced for sure, which is why I'm waiting a while before I get the full version or hopefully a bundle of all episodes.

Yeah the mid-air homing attack is pretty cool and at the same time may add to the feel of the gameplay being a little disjointed compared to the originals. Like I say I only played the demo a little and it seemed whenever I would do the mid-air attack it made the flow of Sonic's movement feel choppy a bit so I can see why people may say it feels odd or off a little bit.

But to me the overall feel of the gameplay in conjunction with the level design and enemies feels very reminiscent of the originals and I liked what I played.

I Like Games.

I have been eagerly awaiting Colors since the first gameplay trailer. I got to play it briefly at comic con and it seems like it may be the best sonic game since Adventure. Cant wait!

Adventure & Adventure 2 are SO underrated now-a-days.

I hope Pete reviews Sonic Colors after he plays through it. I certainly am.

I have to ask the same question a lot. I think it's because of all the non-Sonic or Shadow stages, but I don't get why because they are good distractions (unlike Werehog) and the Sonic and Shadow levels are so good I think they outweigh the not-as-great things.
