true, he didnt certainly bash it, he didn't give an explanation of why it dont interest him as well to be fair. Oh yea, this is the first time im excited for Sonic, i didn't play the last installments at all. Why dont it appeal to you? It has that old school vibe+ Its looking great, tons of replay value as well! Its Sonic Galaxy!!!!

That's the problem I guess for some people. Well at least for me, just making it look like Sonic Galaxy doesn't make me like it, in fact in only makes me think of the fact that they're using concepts of Mario Galaxy instead of making something completely new; therefore my interest just wanes away because I already experienced a Mario Galaxy-like game, twice. I was never a big fan of Sonic, though I have played the games, but I would never play them again after finishing them. Old-school vibe doesn't do it for me (several games supposedly have that, and yet they don't phase me), nor does this predicted "replay value", because I have to play it first before I judge its "replay value". Mario Galaxy had a great replay value, but I doubt this one will match or top that experience. Not because I like Mario more than Sonic, but because absolutely no Sonic game created by the Sonic Team has ever "wowed" me before. Could they do it? Don't know, but so far they have not hyped me like how the EAD Tokyo Team hyped me with Galaxy back in 2006. 

I'll give it a chance, but so far it's not a "Day1, Must Buy!" for me. :)


Sonic is supposed to use concepts from mario.  It was a topic of contention in the old days, but now it feels right.  The two went separate ways when they entered the 3D realm, it's good to see their paths cross like this.  Sonic lost world looks to do what sonic does best... Compete with mario at his own game!  This galaxy style makes the world less restricted.  That's why I'm excited. =)
