I'm a fan of the original Sonic games and i really like Lost World, it not perfect but a step in the right direction if you ask me and prefer it to colours.
I think people dont like it because it looks more cartoony and didn't give the time to get used to the controls and the game does take a bit of practice to become good, i also think people think it's trying to be a Mario Galaxy which is not a bad thing.

Sonic games were about platforming more than speed which this game brings back to the series, and allows three different speeds to allow exploration or to speed through the level in spin dash which feels good once you master it, i believe before it came out IGN praised the game then when released did a complete u-turn.

it isnt anymore cartoony than past games so that is a ridiculous statement, the fact that you have to get used to the controls probably means the controls arent good, especially considering this game is in a genre and a series thats supposed to be pick up and play. 

This isn't my statement, i have been on the Sega Sonic forums and this was one of the complaints from the Sonic die hards.

fair enough. Gonna have to check that out, becasue that is a ridiculous thing to complain about, and this is coming from a die hard Sonic fan comic reader and all. Maybe they were referencing the new villians which i do hate from a design purpose.
