Never in my life did I think....

....That after getting a 4.8 on the Xbox360 (IGN), Sonic would sink to a 4.2 on the almighty Ps3 console. I mean, I could be wrong, but I'm going to take a wild guess and say Happy Feet got a better score than that.Feeling proud that I dodged that bullet as a Wii user, I took a test run on the Ps3 version at Gamestop this weekend.

I didn't have to play for 10 seconds to realize why this game got such a pitiful score. The graphics were suffering from what I call Next-Genism (When developers make the graphics glossy and shiney but fail to make them crisp). Back to my first point, I started the level and sittig in front of me was a pile of boxes. What the hell? Isn't the point of Sonic games to go fast? How in the name of Christ am I supposed to go fast if there's a pile of boxes every 3 seconds? The level was slow, painful, and unimpressive. I can't believe how far Sonic has fallen, and I'd love to say Sonic and The Secret Rings will be good, but I won't get my hopes up, thank god it has its own team working on the game. The last Sonic game I enjoyed was the side scrolling "Sonic Rush" for the NDS, it was 2D, and blazing fast, the way the series should be.

I have faith in Secret Rings.  The whole point of that game is to go blazing fast, which is why it's on rails, no crappy secondary characters or stupid camera included.

so sad :(
