As the Sonic fan I am it almost suprises me how little I look forward to this new game. I'm reminded about Sonic unleashed when I look at the teaser how they are making an all new adventure from the ground up, and I'm reminded of Sonic Rivals when they say it's going to be in 2D. This is just my opinion but I thought neither of those games were that great so a mixed version of both would probably just be as mediocre.

I will buy it anyway since my fan-boy instincts will go nuts otherwise and if it turns out good, then I hope Sonic Team will learn from that game rather than make a "new and improved" version of it...
