I think Lost World is a solid game. Here's a review for Sonic Generations that has always stuck with me, it's relevant to the hate Lost World's gotten.

"A reminder of both what you adore and abhor in a series that's had its simple joys diluted by flash-in-the-plan iterations and ideas." - Edge Magazine

Lost World, yet again, changed the series' game play style. Which caused a lot of backlash. I think Sega needs to stick with the game play style from the 3D sections of Colors and Generations. That's another thing the series has going against it, it's constantly switching between 2D and 3D even in the same levels.

Not at all. They need to stick to the 3D from the Adventure games and Heroes. Those had the right pacing. Unleashed, Colors' and Generations glorified theme park rides were just dull.

     A 3D Sonic  done in the style of  the Adventure games would be so great..  The problems with those games are the lack of polish ( glitches,  the lip-syncing and such), some   playstyle  issues ( Big the Cat being only about fishing and Tails being in  a  mech in SA2) and the stories being  too focused on the human world. If they can fix those  then  I am OK with them totally killing the Unleashed/ Generations formula.
