The Sonic Circle Of Hype.

Stage one
Sega announce a new game, saying they'll bring Sonic back to it's roots.
All is good with the fans, they have seen the screenshots, and they like it.

Stage two
Closer to the date of release, Sega announce a gimmick, (example, New character, new control system, ect)
Fans go ahead with it, Wondering if it'll be as good as they once thought.

Stage three
Said game is released, gimmick screws it up, fans are disappoint.

have you ever tried running with your arms down the side like sonic...does it make you run faster?

I used to run like that when I was little so yes.

It sadly doesn't.

On topic I'm down for a multiplayer. Me and my friends used to play SA2:B all the time.

i'm a little skeptic about the wisp, cause that may count as a gimmick.Wisps are as far as I know completely optional to use and just give you the ability to explorer another layer of the level. You can think of it as something similar to the barrier-power-ups in Sonic3 just with more effect... It is also visible in the video, that there is nearly always another path, which you could use without actually doing a Wisp-action!

but i don't think the DS version will be just another sonic rush, ok it will be, i'm not that naive, but from the way i see it, it's Sonic rush mixed with Sonic Unleash's 2DYeah, for me it looks like a good mix of SR and SU-2D, which I welcome, since I think walljump, homing attack and Wisp-powers seems to fuse really good with the Rush-gameplay.

IMO has yet to happen, since everybody knows what to expect from Sonic Color: the Wii-version is very similar to the daytime-stages of SU and the DS-version is similar to SR with SUs 2D enhencements!

i don't think Stage three is gonna happen this time this really looks from what i've seen so far to be the sonic game that does 3d right.
