Eh, looks like it'll be one of those games I have to try if I want to judge. I don't get the difference between a kick and a homing attack, though.

Oh boy another sonic game they release every 6 months, I'll play it right after CoD Ghosts

I really like how they're "slowing Sonic down;" Sonic was always about speed, but not to the point that it's a detriment to the game mechanics, as some of the newer Sonic games have been
That said, Colours was great, and Generations was good, and Lost World is like a "sequel" to Colours but with better level design, so I'm excited

I agree with Crump. Sonic started as basically a Super Mario World alternative... same platforming, large levels to explore, jumping on enemies... but it let you run really fast in short spurts. Sonic started to suck when it just focused on the speed and dropped all the other stuff. Hopefully this is a clone of Super Mario Galaxy... with a few spurts of speed.

from the bits of lost world gameplay we've seen it actually looks more like super mario 3D land than galaxy.

But 3D land wasn't galaxy
They just took everything that was fun from galaxy away and put them all in a cramped space

it doesn't look bad but it doesn't look like a sonic game
