Yep, I'm all set to download it tomorrow! Hopefully, this should tide me over until Sonic Colors comes out next month.

I'll amuse myself with a demo until a retail collection comes out.

[SEGA_Queen]

Yes, for the Wii. The PS3 and XBox 360 version will come out later this week.

Ooh look at this new video of the game! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzxiO...layer_embedded

Looks really fun

IMO ts stil not as good as sonic 3&K ,you really have to rely on the homing attacks to keep speed otherwise sonic is pretty slow.

Its a far sight better then most Sonic games to make an appearance in the last 15 years or so but if anything is just fun for nostalgic reasons more so then being a good game.

I am getting it Day 1 gaurenteed.

IGN did a review of it and the exact words the dude says at the end is, "Sonic is back Baby!"

I will be the judge of that. I might even call into work and play the crap out of ep1 pretty much all day.

I have not been this excited for a game in years.

Man, I really thought I'd be able to try it out today, but no, only Wii for now. Still waiting.

It is 10-13-10 for XBL

I got the PS3 version and it's fun. The mechanics have a new feel but they're not super terrible or anything. Just don't expect the gameplay to be as smooth as the Genesis titles. It actually is quite a challenge to get through until you play each level a few times. Right now I'm working on getting the Emeralds.

There are only 4 main zones with 3 acts each + a 4th boss fight level. And a final boss level. Add it all together and that makes 17 main levels and 7 sepcial stages.

That's pretty good considering this is only Episode 1. I'm wondering if they'll release all the Episodes (once all of them are out) in one game as a disc or something. That'd be nice to have on the shelf next to Sonic 1, 2, and 3!

Getting this on PSN today, can't wait!

Actually Sonic meets Stars Wars has some potential. :-)

You mean it HAD potential. DeathEGG = Deathstar

[buzz_n64]

Just played the demo, and it looks pretty good. I wasn't blown away, but it was fun. The movements in the air are kinda cumbersome, but the homing attack more or less makes up for it. I'll get the full game when/if they release it on a disc.

Picked up the demo which I've played a couple of times, which of course equals five minutes play time. This is Sonic though, so it's forgiven.

...It's basically the advance/Rush games only on a home console. Not necessarily a bad thing but it's almost as if Sega have forgotten how to make those crisp and sharp moves from the 16-bit era, everything just feels a little... sticky for my liking. And I'm not impressed by a pricetag of 1200 points for four zones.

Like just about everyone else, I'll probably get it if/when they make a compilation disc of all the episodes.

[The 1 2 P]

I'm downloading the demo as we speak.

[sidnotcrazy]

Download the game on Monday, and I have to say its really good. The homing attack is ok, but it works. I was pretty sure they would include that. The 2, and 3rd zones are great. My favorite levels are always the pinball levels, and thank God their in the game.

I really like the game, and I think most sonic fans will, but to each his own.

[deltoidsteep]

The casino level is fantastic! Finished the game last night, definitely worth the price. So much fun

[Solertia]

Enjoying it so far. My only complaints are the homing attack is taking a lot of getting used to, and there's no momentum when you jump, like if you let go of the D-pad when you're moving in midair, you immediately stop and fall to the ground. Kindof annoying.
