Sigh...Sonic isn't the problem, well he kinda is, but he's not the one who made the game.

Looks like both games have scored lower than Sonic '06 on IGN.

Wow.

A 4.3 from IGN and a 2/10 from GS... Yup... That's all I have to say.

So this inspired me to go to Metacritic;

Sonic '06 has a 46 on XBox 360 and a 43 on PS3.

This game so far has a;
- 40
- 40 
- 50
With this update;
- 43
- 20
For an average of 39

While the 3DS version so far has a;
- 40
- 40
For an average of 40

I think we're going to have a new king!

Sonic 06 wasn't even that bad.

WOOHOO! They're making improvements.

Originally I wasn't going to buy this but now I'm kinda intrigued and want to compare this to Sonic '06. Might get it after Christmas.

19 more games and you can play a Sanic masterpiece.

Its hard to be surprised. The game from what i've seen so far is completely broken, and figuratively reeks of it being a rush job that was pushed out the door way too early. That, and it seems that rather than re-invent Sonic like they claimed, they've just ripped off a lot of ideas in previous Sonic games that weren't well received.

- The long fight sequences are reminiscent of the awful Werehog levels in Sonic Unleashed.
- The exploration levels are a descendant of the world maps in Sonic Adventure, only much slower going.
- Unable to get up much speed before running into a wall or battle is reminiscent of Sonic Heroes' level design.
- Using laser guns is like the usable firearms in Shadow the Hedgehog.

Personally I feel the game deserves a 2 or a 4 due to them deciding to copy from the wrong previous games. If anyone from SEGA is reading this, i'll point out now that the ultimate 3D Sonic games are Sonic Adventure 1&2 and Sonic Generations, simply because the stages were built like Rollercoaster tracks, allowing Sonic to show off the speed he's famous for.

So it's almost average?
