It reminds me of one of the last levels in Sonic Adventure 2. I liked it though

Bright colors?
Nice graphics?
Abstract environments?
I'm confused. What modern Sonic games have you been playing? With the exception of Sonic Heroes, they've all taken place in boring realistic environments and before Sonic Unleashed and Black Knight most people were complaining that 3D Sonic still looked like "glorified Dreamcast games".
Unless you're complaining about rail grinding, but that's an awfully silly thing to complain about considering it has propagated out to other platformers with decent results.

It's a non-interactive platforming "element" that exists only for the purpose of taking a screenshot. And what do you know, they took a fucking screenshot of it. And then someone on GAF pointed out what a good screenshot it is.
Modern Sonic games are designed to be looked at, not played. Stop enabling them, people.

The graphics look quite awesome but are obviously bullshots, I'll wait for reviews as always.

As usual, I'll be sure to have my tv mute on until the actual game starts up...should I decide to buy this.
That was as repugnant as "Soooonic Heeroooooooeees".

I'd say Sonic Unleashed did a pretty good job of turning the grind rail in to a gameplay mechanic. Yes, yes, it literally puts you "on rails", but as a way to break up the action, is that really so bad? If used properly, it can provide a nice, simple jumping challenge.
Okay, sure, yeah, sometimes it's used as a spectacle moment, but damn, even Mario's got those. As long as it's not overused, using it to show the transition from one area to another seems fine to me. It's no worse than every Super Mario Galaxy slingstar that takes more than 2 seconds to reach its destination.

So the DS version is basically Sonic Rush 3?

Looks really, really good. Of course, so did Black Knight, but at least this has varied Mario-like level concepts to fit it. Cautiously hopeful.

If you're intrigued by the trailer music, and have a superhuman tolerance for douchebags: click that link.

I got my hopes up for gameplay footage. 
At least the screen look good.
Cautious Optimism.

Might as well post this in here:

Basically, it's decent but way too easy.

That's because it's targeting kids. Even still, I'd rather have an easy Sonic game than a hard one because the hard ones are hard for all the wrong reasons.
I really dislike the art in the DS version, the backgrounds and levels just look dull. It was ok in Rush, poor in Adventure and it's a continuing trend. It's like all the detail is going. It's sad to look at screens from the 16 bit games and the new DS ones.
I might have to give it a miss, will be the first time i've done that for a 2D Sonic game.

I was just about to post something just like this.
Most of the times before they've added difficulty to the 3D titles by dropping an extra 20 enemies into the room.

As I said in the other Sonic Colors thread, you can never trust a Sonic game that merely looks good from media. Black Knight looked utterly fantastic until everyone actually got their hands on it. One of the biggest letdowns ever, especially after the promise shown by the very fun Secret Rings.
I will admit that the kind of variation here and the creative potential are both promising, since Sega is seemingly breaking down barriers like Nintendo did with Super Mario Galaxy, but that's all that can really be said. People have to play Sonic games before they know what they're dealing with.

While I probably would also like too easy instead of too hard, if it's mindlessly easy, that's another story. Part of the reason I found the original Sonic Rush so replayable is because even after you've "mastered" the controls, the game remains pretty intense. Makes time trials and the like super fun.
Eh, we'll see. Their comment on it being too easy seemed to stem from the fact that they S-Ranked both levels on their first try, and that's the sort of thing that can be very easily tweaked later on down the line to be harder.
