They need to do to sonic what they did with 2d Mario platformers. New Sonic Adventure!
Cut everyone out of the game, No Shadow, No Tails, No Amy, No (shudder) chip... Just Sonic, Metal Sonic, and Dr. Robonik. Make long, fast-paced, linear levels. Throw as much speed as sonic can output and watch him spin, dash, and run accross those levels at insane speeds pickin' up power-ups and MANUAL homin' attacks on enemies. None of this target-lock + button = Dead enemy stuff.
In other words, Make a new sonic 2d platformer like they did with New Mario Brothers. Hell, stick it on the DS. I don't care. Just go back to what made sonic great.
Back on-topic. Sonic and the black knight looks good. Better than Secret Rings and Unleashed that is, may be the best sonic game this generation.
Why must JRPG female leads suck so bad?
