Sonic who?
Today a new Sonic game has been announced, well sort of, the new game will star Shadow and will be called Shadow the Hedgehog. It's nice to see Shadow star in his own game but the trailer hardly convinces me that this will be a game to rival the classics.
Shadow uses a gun now. Strange but intriging. It could be a game about deciding which to use, your normal stronger attack, or your weaker wider gun attack. Sonic has always been about reflexes and quick wits and if this is done right perhaps "Shadow the Hedgehog", might be the game we Sonic fans have been waiting for.
Though after Heroes I have my doubts. First off it's still 3D and 3D doesn't offer the same amount of freedom when it comes to multiple routes. One of the best features of the classics was the different heights on the level. Staying on top was difficult but offered good bonuses, as did staying on the bottom as you were closer to pitfalls. The middle ground meanwhile was the easier option but offer no rewards.
But also I think it's down to our much critical view of the games we play. The Advance games are also 2D, have what I've just stated and still feel a little "Meh!" Overall. This is what will ultimately decide this games fate. It WILL not be as good as the classics as we will be too critical of it.
It's on my list, and poor or not I will buy it.
