For Sonic’s first appearance on a next-gen console, developers have taken the approach of “what if Sonic were real?”
The problem with this being that by any stretch of the imagination a super fast blue hedgehog cannot be real. Even more disturbing, we see Sonic cuddling up to slender human females - a sight that can only stir a vague feeling that the game somehow creeps a little too close to bestiality.
Other than that, the gameplay suffers from the same problems that have dogged the azure Erinaceinae since he made his move to 3D. Nothing works as well as you would want it to - and moving at any speed is very difficult. An average show at best.
