I played the demo and i gotta say that the controls really arent the problem in this game. The problem is the game is forgettable.
I want them to try these controls with cooler levels like the ones in Sonic adventure 2/Sonic heroes/ sonic 06 (minus bugs and terrible camera).
The biggest problem of Sonic lost world is that its forgettable. Theres no interesting plot or interesting characters.
Just compare the trailers for Sonic lost world:

to the trailer from Sonic 06:

Yes, Sonic 06 ended up beeing a bug filled mess with terrible camera bordering the unplayable. But tell me, if you didnt know that now, wich one of those two games would you want to play based on those trailers? Sonic 06 has better graphics, cooler characters and a plot you want to care about.
I miss the finer points of Sonic adventure/Sonic 06 that got washed away with a game that was rushed and unplayable. It made it look like everything about it was bad, when not everything was.
If they want Sonic to sell again they have to go back to that style, without the terrible bugs and camera, but keeping the cool feel of the characters and the storyline.
That or beat us up with the nostalgia hammer and make a 2D series of Sonic again. Generations proved that can be done aswell. But Mario also proves you can have a good 2D and 3D series.
