Ok I like these voices! And I love the feel of that cutscene! Watching that felt more like a good episode of one of the Sonic TV series, only without the annoying. That is a very good thing! It actually made me feel nostalgic, especially when Sonic broke the fourth wall.

But yeah, the Sonic Adventure voices were ok, and the Sonic X ones weren't bad either, but each one of those had some characters sounding either incredibly annoying, or really off, and I've never liked tails in either one. Tails actually sounds listenable now, so I'm happy. Sonic's voice caught me off guard at first since his voice has kind of been established for a while now, but after hearing it for a bit, I'd say its definitely an improvement! It's not nearly as corny, and it feels more in character somehow. I'm really looking forward to this game now!

The Sonic Color's DS demo is fun to play. It plays like a very tight sonic rush.

Also, the fire wisp is awesome.

Nintendo Power gave it a score of 9.0. Yeah, I'm looking forward to it.

IGN put their review up.

Apparently it's "the best Sonic game in 18 years" according to them.

8.5/10. Fingers crossed?

Yeah, I'm looking forward to it as well.

Can't say I'm in love with Sonic's new VA though, I liked the 4kids actors.

Ah well, as long as Mike Pollock's returning.

I would not trust an IGN review or anything they say at all. Past experience tells me that they don't know shit about what they talk about. :/

It's interesting that the game is getting high scores on the meta critique though.

Makes me even more interested in the game. Too bad I also want epic yarn and 007 golden eye, and I just can't afford every game. :<

I was actually disappointed with Goldeneye, but as always, YMMV.

I'll get to play some Sonic Colours tomorrow. PAL version whoo? I'm not holding my breath, but I am expecting to actually enjoy myself.

The DS Version definitely won't be as good as the other console versions. I'm playing it now, and it uses a hybrid of the Sonic 4 and Sonic Rush engines. It lacks full cutscenes, to the point of some of the scenes (like the translator one) getting a ton cut off of them.

Still, the DS version kicks Sonic 4's ass. There's some similar physics problems but you're too busy playing like it's Sonic Rush to notice. I'm having a lot of fun with it so far.

Also, special stages, GET COLOURED ORBS

Sweet, so it's back?

Also I'm going to try the DS version on my XL I think... as soon as I can get it. :p

Already I hear GameTrailers gave it a 6/10, and said the normal drivel everyone says about 'bad' Sonic games.

If you ask me, soon people will begin howling at this 'good' Sonic game, regardless of whether it is good or not.

Not to sound like a hypocrite or anything (as I haven't played Sonic Colours for the DS yet) but I'm sure it will be better than Sonic 4 as it is not trying to compare itself, and it feels like Sega is actually not allowing the game to take itself too seriously.

Wow, I'm actually starting to build me a nice little list here. 1920x1080 monitor, Goldeneye and Sonic Colours

Are they going to put a U in the title when they release it over here or not?

Word on the ~~street~~intarwebs is that Gametrailers was playing a pre-release copy with some control issues. And considering that almost everybody else is happy, one bad review is minor.

No.

And I've beaten World 1, and this game is the most I've enjoyed myself with a Sonic game in at least half a decade. I laughed at a cutscene, and the game itself is quite enjoyable.

And they'd play a pre-release with some bugs why?

Oh right... trying to get their review out ASAP and scoop the other sites. :\

Hasta la bye bye, suckers!
Eggman is amazing already.

Also breaking the fourth wall ftw. I hope we get some self-referential lines on Sega's part.

EDIT: Oh god I love this game. Everything's just.. amazing. The dialogue, the gameplay, everything. I haven't had this much fun with a Sonic game since SA2:B.

Gotta agree, I love most of the music.

I hear/see good things, but I am still quite sure the loud and small minority will try to scream over anyone liking this game.
