I know we have the GBA Sonic games, but quite frankly they don't feel anything like Sonic either. I want that old school sidescrolling Sonic feel, with nice pretty 3d graphics. Not much to ask for IMO

 

This is true.

 

Sonic Advance 1,2,3 and Rush, aren't Sonic games, they're just very fast paced running without control, and the camera is zoomed in on Sonic too much. Sonic wasn't always about running 500 miles per hour, it was about having full control over Sonic's speed, Sonic the Hedgehog 1,2,3 didn't have illogically placed loop-de-loops and endless steep hills to make Sonic run uncontrollably.

 

Sonic Advance 1,2,3, and Rush only involved holding the right directional button, the Genesis games weren't all about that.

True, sometimes you had to hold the left button too. ;)

I seem to recall the Casino stage, where you could have endless fun...but it was all about making Sonic bounce around fast like a pinball. Then the underwater parts in stages where you had to catch the air bubbles...there was simply more innovation in those older games, not just "Run...FAST!" like in the aforementioned titles.

Who can forget the bonus stages too? Who didn't make a point of trying to hit 2 bonus stages in the very first level alone in Sonic 2?

My favourite parts were the bosses. It was like what's the Eggomatic gonna have bolted onto it next?

FYI: The developers are the same group that worked on Sonic Advance, the Rush series, and the Wii version of unleashed (which didn't require much town movement like the PS3/360 versions, all though a lot of the speed levels were either torn out completely or changed to shits).

 

I didn't like Rush much, Advance was "ok", so at least this one should hit my expectations of "decent"(unlike every other Sonic game post S.A).

I think it would look better if Sonic and the rings were 2D sprites instead of poorly antialiased 3D models.
