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. =)

I don't mind series taking concepts from other series, but this time it has gotten too many similarities to a point where more of the same would make it difficult to create any hype aside from mainly the die-hard sonic fans, which pale in comparison to Mario. And compete with Mario at his own game? I'm not trying to be mean, but competition requires a challenge, and comparing the hype among Mario Galaxy back in 06 and Lost World right now....well....there's no competition! ;)

I disagree.  Mario galaxy had little round planets he jwalked on.  Lost world has long tubular planets he races through.   While there is some similarity I don't see how you can call it more of the same.  The momentum is different.  I'm not comparing hype, that's got nothing to do with what I said.  I'm comparing gameplay.   IMO sonic works best when using mario's playbook and speeding it up.  I honestly don't care if ppl are hyped for this game or not.  I'm not a huge sonic fan.  I just spot potential and this game is full of it.
