Ah, now I realise why the visuals are so iffy - it's because it's all pre-rendered. It just doesn't look good. It would actually have charm if it were hand-drawn or looked like high-quality sprites. I'm sorry, the stage just lacks the charm of the originals. If they were trying to capture the spirit of the Retro Sonic games, then they failed in one department.
Sega, I am disappoint.

I thoroughly enjoyed both Sonic Rush games, and if this is anything like them, even if slowed down a bit, I'm buying.

It would be a lot easier for me if you imagine there's something funny or interesting here.Hmm took a look at this. After looking at it, I was wondering if a certain Deviant ART user would be a bit pissed.

Yep, I'm still here.Alright, show of hands; who wasn't surprised by the reaction of the Fan Dumb?
Experience has taught me to investigate anything that glows.Are you kidding? That was downright civil. I find it rather amusing that Sonic Team can't change a single thing without the fanbase screaming for their blood. I mean, imagine if the Mario fanbase was that bad.
"WTF, Yoshi? More like Yo-suck for putting in a stupid dinosaur!"
"Ground pound? Wall jump? GRRRR YOU'VE RUINED MARIO BROS"
"WARIO SUCKS! MARIO & LUIGI, & PEACH ARE THE ONLY TRUE SONIC CHARACTERS!"
"WTF He's in space now!?! FAIL"
"Mario should be fighting Donkey Kong, not this Bowser freak!"
"Mario and Bowser? Go-karting? Nintendo, I am never buying a Mario game again!"

Are you not entertained?One question: Are my fellow Sonic fans whining about it already?
Well, Neo GAF sure is. Of course, when the biggest problem with this game so far (The artwork) is one basically shared with New Super Mario Bros Wii, you are doing something right. Sure, there might be the whole Sonic Cycle thing, but Sonic Team never had bad 2D gameplay.
Wizard Needs Food BadlyWell, to be fair, Sega already proved with Unleashed that they can at least get a game half right.
As long as they stick to the classic formula, it can't be too bad.
EDIT: It seems they're comparing the planned DLC sequel to the lock-on technology of Sonic & Knuckles, hence the "episode 1" in the title.

"It ain't about whether you win or lose, unless you got money on the game, because...damn. That's your money, son."^ Tell Tuznecote and ElMido I said, "Hi."

As long as they do not fuck with the classic formula. I can understand the homing attack needed if there is no ground in some areas and only enemies you need to jump on to cross.
