spooky_ninei checked out sonic for the 360 from work last night. i wish i had read this first. oh god, the horror.
seriously, i fucking love sonic. i had sega systems before i ever got a nintendo or sony anything. sonic is to me what mario or link is to most of you. i love the sonic franchise.
but holy hell, i feel like someone shit on my birthday cake.
everything in that article is true. i can't invert the controls, so i was getting a migraine swinging the camera around because i'm not used to it (this is my biggest pet peeve about video games. i have to be able to invert the controls. when i push the analog up, i want to look down. it's just the way my brain works). the camera angles are terrible. half the time i can't look up or to either side. the graphics glitch constantly. it doesn't automatically save my progress. and the loading. oh god, the loading. 2 minutes of gameplay and then 4 minutes of loading.

i am that fan, sir. but this game still makes me weep.

from the article:
"Only the most blindly reverent Sonic the Hedgehog fan could possibly squeeze any enjoyment out of Sega's latest adventure. This platformer is a mess from top to bottom, and any of the occasional moments that don't feel somehow broken only serve to make the game's other flaws appear that much bigger."
