A Couple Thoughts of What We've Seen.

So let's see...
Unleashed got bad ratings.
Colors got great ratings.
Yet...
We see a recycled Unleashed engine instead of something more like Colors...

For the classic part I have no complaints. The Green Hill looks and seems to play fantastic, though it does seem a bit automated. However, for the first stage it's not that bad of automation.

"It's not on the Wii because the game is purely HD."
Let's see. Sonic 4 was "Classic Sonic in HD" but it was still on the Wii.
Translation here: "Generations is not on the Wii because we made a good engine for Colors, but that would be no good on 360 and PS3, so we're gonna be lazy and recycle a 3 year old engine and just not put it on the Wii because it's not powerful enough."
^^^just a rough translation.

Altogether, they seem to just be downgrading with it. Unleashed had no branching paths, the speed was uncontrollable, it was like driving a race car.
Colors had branching paths that you could spend hours exploring (I still haven't found all the red rings!!!), it had tight turning and controllable speeds, the double jump was excellent for the platforming; but somehow they decided to use the Unleashed engine anyway.

My final verdict here is that as long as the stages are good, this game can turn out well. But if we get stages like Unleashed, it will ultimately be a bad experience.

Not too much to say on the classic since we don't have much to compare it to...

Lets just hope that the speed, this time round, is controlable.

And that both classic and modern get a mixture of both 2d and 3d levels

There's another good point. With Unleashed we had WAY too much werehog. Lets hope that these two have an even and fair amount of gameplay time.

One more point: they make more money off wii games...

Is this a troll thread, or are you serious? I don't mean to come off as offensive, but sometimes I'm unsure whether or not to be serious in situations like this. It's all the same physics. The proper complaint would be toward level design.

so it was okay for sega to give wii owners a improved unleashed engine and the best 3D sonic game in years but not PS360 owners? yeah nice point you got thier, nintendo get WAY more exclusives. whatever thier reasons i dont think it's unfair. Please take into account i own a wii and a 360.

Who cares that it's the Unleashed engine you should be happy that Classic sonic is playable Isn't that what you always hoped for and dreamed??? If you can't answer that then you are in no position to complain. And I don't give a damn that this game won't be on the Wii even though i have a Wii but don't want it on the Wii because it will be like Sonic Colors, Come on Who cares which console is better their both good. And at least Sonic Unleashed had some 3D exploration in it that Colors didn't have. Which makes Unleashed a good game and Colors not so good. You're reasons for liking Colors are the same reasons i didn't want to buy it. I just didn't like the 25.D or 2D.5 or whatever it's called in Colors

Oh and for the record It case you didn't know or refuse to know I like Sonic Unleashed.
