Witty comments as always(3D graphics
) I’ve seen a few videos of it.. the Attack thing is so Weak! I mean, guards attack sonci.. and he has to PUNCH and PICK!!! it was so bad how the enemies reacted and how they died was also a total badness in itself.
Hope the game(Final Build) turns out to be a nice one.
Yeh Reeteshinator, it should be interesting to see how the game will turn out. I wasn’t blown away by how the Xbox 360 demo played, but maybe I’m not a good Sonic gamer, the home button kept homing me in on deadly ravines.
Hey…eyah I’ve played the demo n it duznt feel entirely like a Sonic game but very pretty tho…I have to agree with the home-in button..as it tends to jump to agro things that cause you to die!…maybe there should be a slow motion part where u can locate wat u want to home in on…(Matrix style)
