The newer Sonic games just have terrible pacing, controls, animations, level design and physics...So basically everything that makes Sonic, Sonic.
Sonic 3 nailed all these aspects for the 2D version of Sonic.
Sonic Adventure 2 nailed all these aspects for the 3D version of Sonic.
Whether it be a 2D or a 3D game, unless Sonic Team can get the game as similar as possible to the two games above me, then Sonic will never be the same. Sonic at the moment just has simplistic level design and it is too fast, it's just a button mash through the level, there are no jump calculations or complicated level designs.
*sigh* I wish I wasn't so god damn cynical, but it's true.
