I found this article about Sonic 4 earlier while trying to see if there was an official release date yet.

The author brings up many good points, namely that almost all of the criticism towards the game is entirely baseless. From complaining about his character model, to thinking the game will be like the Sonic Rush games (which are actually pretty good in my opinion), there are so many ridiculous claims against this game it almost isn't funny. Heck, I even saw a comment on YouTube where someone complained that the addition of the homing attack will make the game too easy. Even though that's essentially what the fire shield was. Riiiiiight.

Well, whatever. Let the haters hate, they're going to buy the game anyway, just like they did when Sonic and the Black Knight and Sonic Unleashed came out. I personally am very excited for the game, although I'm a bit more interested in Sonic Colors at the moment.

Thoughts?
