They’re all pretty easy, bar a few bosses (Biolizard..). It’s all about the music and just having fun. A Sonic trailer is always going to show pure speed, it’s a little early to judge it on just that. Anyway, aren’t most platformers just ‘push right and hit jump occasionally.’

I always remember them being really easy, whatever the gameplay, although the last one I played was Sonic Adventure. Which I walked through.

He’s always been called Eggman in Japan. We’re just getting his proper name.

But it looked like ‘push right and hit jump occasionally.’

Seriously, the original 3 sonic games where fast in places, there was plenty of timed jumping and traditional platforming, MIXED in with the speed. That’s what sonic is about for me, as well as the multiple paths through levels.

/will reserve complete judgement until proper previews

I dunno. It looks good. It’s a kids’ game with a hedgehog in it, innit.

Unfortunately.

Not impressed by gameplay videos either.

Is he officially Dr Eggman the world over now, then?
