The embargo is lifted on the 20th, so, tonight I'm guessing atleast one or two reviews will hit. They've had this game for well over a week now.

There were a view reviews that hit a few random sega-fanboy forums.
The only note-worthy one was an 8.1, but the rest (from the gamers, one being an 11-year old) were 8.0's, 8.5's, and 9.0's. I don't exactly know what to think of all that, I wouldn't be suprised if IGN rolls in with a 7.0.

The strategy guide for the game is out. It's pretty big.

ONM giving it just over 80% when they gave Wii Play over 90 scares the shit out of me. I need more reviews...

Yep. Just finished my review of the game. But it can't be posted until Feb. 20 as someone else stated.

Well, I think it's PST, so it'd be 3AM Eastern...unless another site breaks first, I'm not going to post until then. I don't mess with embargo dates 
Give you a bone?
It's a fun game.

No I didn't get any pre-order bonus.
I don't really care what the reviews say, I'm already getting it regardless. I love challenge and frustration in my games (as long as its not glitchy), and a fast Sonic game is what I've been craving.
I'm guessing it'll get 8's+ all around.

Better than Sonic 360 confirmed. But not necessarily the demo.
...dahhh

I don't think anyone can deny 'best 3D sonic'. I think everyone can agree to that, and that should be enough for all of us.

I loved SA1 too, but this is more or less the same except with more control and better graphics. I heard the bosses were just incredible too.

Well it clearly LOOKS better.

The boss fights in SA1 were pretty weak if I remember correctly.

Well gaming-age doesn't do it in numbers. I'd say sonic gets a B+.

If Greg Ford was that guy in the latest 1up show talking about Sonic, it sounds like he could easily give the game a 5-6.Y2Kevbug11 said:
I hated myself for leaning towards Shane opinion, simply because I want to believe that this could be the one...

Given the large disparity between their opinions, the third reviewer will be the deciding factor for me. Those two effectively cancelled each other out with their pros and cons. (I, too, really like the look of the main levels, but hate the idea of side missions and the stupid multiplayer minigames.) Although, to be fair, Ford didn't come across as disliking the game more than liking it.

i'm buying regardless if of reviews and I will play through it.
the ONLY Sonic games that I returned to the store were Sonic Riders and Sonic PS3. The others I kept (yes, I kept Shadow).
so if decide to keep SoTR, then it's a good sign.
if I decide to return it 1 week later then it's a bad sign.
if I decide to return it the day after (like Sonic PS3) then it's a disaster
hope that I keep it for keeps, that will be a good sign

Man I can't wait. I'm not expecting the second coming of christ or anything, in fact I'm expecting both IGN and Gamespot to give it below 8.0, but it's been a while since we've had a big-name Wii game come out (WarioWare) and I've grown hungry for a good sonic game.
Anyway, here are some score predictions of mine:
IGN - 7.7
Gamespot - 7.4
Gamespy - 4 stars
1up - 7
Famitsu - 30/40
The Wiire - 78/100

GameSpot: 6.6

I thoroughly look forward to the game, but I don't think it's going to score any higher than that.
