Heh.

Oh, Cassie. Why is a Wii hater the Nintendo editor?

BTW, classic Sonic isn't really about pure speed. It was bursts of speed, but there was also a lot of plodding and exploring different routes. The DKC games were actually faster, in that you could approach the levels at breakneck speed. With Sonic you had to control his momentum carefully or you would die constantly.

 

Thank god there are people who thinks classic Sonic wasn't just about speed.

 

Classic Sonic = Speed + Platforming + Exploration + Multiple Routes.

 

That's what I remember from the games (I played 'em at other houses, since I didn't have a Genesis then). Claiming it's all about speed is doing the series a major disservice, because they are claiming the series needs to go back to it's old style, but they don't remember what the old style actually is.

So claiming this game takes the speed out, when that was not what the series was really all about, is kocking something for a flaw that isn't really a flaw.
