I noticed Joystiq gave it a 2.5/5. I assume that's too harsh based on the feedback here?

yeah, sega is trapped here with "damned if you do, damned if you dont"

Copy the formula (which is what they have done with sonic 4 for the most part) and publications will bitch about lack of innovation.

Change the formula, and everyone will bitch it isn't the sonic they love.

Figured. I honestly thought everyone was craving for the old formula and that there would hardly be as much complaints as in this review.

They even fussed about the new parts as well, like the targeting, which takes away the skill of actually aiming to land on enemies. Since I haven't played it, reading it alone sounds like it could make sense, but ppl here say they like the targeting system.
