Just gonna wait for RRR2 to show up. I'll grab one or the other, eventually. Unfortunately, the list of games I want to buy is getting to be longer than the list of games I've bought. :(

"as incredibly difficult as requiring the player to beat Mario's rival (Sonic, of course) in a 100m dash."

AH-HAH! So Sonic's speed is taken advantage of in this game. I remember too many complaints about Sonic not beating Mario by a mile in the trailers.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

Okay, I just got the game. I'll post some reviews once I've had a chance to try it out.

Yeah I read the review and caught that snippet too. Basically in most play modes the difference in character abilities is minor, but the mission mode throws balance to the wind and gives each character their true abilities more or less. I think that was a great design decision by the development team as well LordTheNightKnight.

I think all the hype was Delivered by Sega's "3 million sold" comment.

And hey, if they reach that mark, good for em, and though I'm a bit curious, I've got more than enough to keep me entertained and not go through the painful reminder that I was once an olympic caliber limbo champion.
