If I were to call this the making of a great game, I'd have to learn to lie. This game pretty much Mario Kart ported to every other system, with fancy graphics and different characters. SEGA/Sonic Team needs some good as hell ideas, this is the like 1 millionth game they've made revolving around the idea of racing. Sonic Riders, Sonic Riders : ZG, Sonic R, Sonic Drift, and Sonic Drift 2. I know Sonic is meant for speed and all, but can't they make like another game not revolving around holding the right/left button for all eternity? Or atleast without needing extra items when he's the fastest thing in the world? Like a fighting game (not massive fail like Unleashed), or something?
BTW, epic forum title.
EDIT: I'm sure Sonic Team would get good money like they used to if they ported oldie Sonic games and Sonic Adventure / 2 to the 360, PS3, and Wii. Having older Sonic games in 2.5-d and having Sonic Adventure 2: Battle for the X360 with amazing graphics would be kickass.
EDIT2: Watching http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhIAJmwuPXQ makes me think of the frustration of playing through the game, and the glitches to come with it. The steering looks hard as hell. The driver crashes into a wall just to make a turn, every time.
