It appears Sonic Generations doesn't suck...is the Sonic cycle doomed?

[disolitude]

So it appears Sonic Generations turned out alright. We may need to retire the infamous Sonic cycle.

8.5	Presentation An awesome interactive hub world, and a story that, while inconsequential, is enjoyable. The Sonics have a great dynamic.
7.5	Graphics Looks great in motion, but not as nice when everything stops. Framerate issues pop up somewhat regularly.
7.0	Sound Hit or miss soundtrack, but cool remixes. Improved voice acting (everyone is 70% less annoying). The sound effects are all spot on.
8.5	Gameplay Two great types of levels, both awesome examples of Sonic at his finest. The boss battles are weak though.
8.0	Lasting Appeal Relatively short campaign, but a metric f---ton of unlockables, and motivation to replay every level.
8.5 OVERALL	Great (out of 10)
