....does that mean no?

I'm still unsure of whether to get this. I got the first episode and was very disappointed with it, it felt way to much like a remake to me. Same stages, same boss battles, and for a Sonic game the music was poor. Sonic has been on a good run since Colours released. While Episode 1 was a slight bump in the road for me it was still better than the likes of Sonic The Hedgehog '06, Rings, Knight, and Unleashed. Will keep an eye on this, the screens definitely look nice.

Sonic Team did mention that they have listened to the criticisms regarding episode 1.

They took a huge step in the right direction with Generations........ therefore unless the level design is totally off somehow, i can't see episode 2 getting anything other than good/great reviews.
