Sonic Rush, I didn't quite get into them, the first I got to the last Boss on Sonic's story but gave up, the sequel you can get lost and stuck, so I gave up on that too.SO on this basis, I may not get into this one either.

Yeah, LittleBigPlanets small use of sixaxis ain't as accurate as it could have been. Lets not forget I-Phones similar to sixaxis tech too

You only use SIXAXIS in LBP to move their heads. Only the Sackboy's head. It doesn't affect the gameplay of LBP. Sonic 4 and the mine cart will. If you played Ratchet & Clank, SIXAXIS is used in some levels as well. I hated it, I kept dying using SIXAXIS controls. So THANK God there was an option to turn it off.

To be honest, what is Sonic Team currently developing since Dimps is making this game? All-Stars was developed by Sumo...Sonic Team hasn't released a game since the failed Sonic Unleashed.

But even something as simple as the sixaxis in LBP has a hard time being accurate.

What about Advance 1-3? Dimps made those, too.

Also, I'm pretty sure Sonic Team is working on the next 3D game. Who knows, though.

[Barrylicious Caramel]

Oh they are working on it you can bet your biscuits they are. Also Dimps seems to do really well when it comes to making the good 2-d Sonic games which only hopefully infers that this package will be just as good as those they have succeeded in.

This is the episode 1, but I made this question "How many episodes will be available?"

[Sammy Starlight]

Probably 2 episodes I'll say.

[Speed™]

I remember that they keep saying episodes for the future, so it's a possibility of being at least 3.

Edit: http://img111.yfrog....ndoaccin210.jpg Right here it says "5 capítulos" which translates to 5 episodes. So we're looking at a massive game if this is true. 4 zones per episode, 3 acts per zone. 12 acts per episode, 60 acts per 5 episodes, plus the boss acts. Massive, if true.

[Barrylicious Caramel]

*whistles* NOw that would be very nice and defianetly worth getting if all are going to be true. 60 acts total would be nice and would be very entertaining.

[Meeh]

There are a lot of acts... This will be a nice and long game (if they release a retail version)

[Barrylicious Caramel]

There is no retail version. Its only downloadable and you will have to buy the 5 acts seperately when they come out.

You never know, games like Wipeout HD got a retail version, but as far as I know it's the only example. Plus it's PS3 exclusive. Then you may have special offers bundling all the episodes together albeit as downloads still.

[Barrylicious Caramel]

Possibly but so far the only things they would focus on other than the Episodes would be other downloadable content for the game.

[JAZZilicous Caramel]

Ah yes Sonic 4. Can't wait to see it in action soon. I now hide from the Sonic fans.


STAFF EDIT:
I hope you meant to write "fans," which I changed it to. The word that is replaced can be extremely offensive and may result in punishment if used again.

[Barrylicious Caramel]

In total I see the entire game being sold for all episodes at 4000 MP. I really would be shocked if it would be more than that.

[JAZZilicous Caramel]

It's still not out is it not?

[Barrylicious Caramel]

No it will be out in the summer and the only downloadable content out right now is the trailer.

[Meeh]

I read in a website that will be release in July.

[Barrylicious Caramel]

Probably since July is one of the more active gaming months of the years when more people are playing games .

[Emerald Emblem]

I share Sam's view on this game having too many episodes. I'd think 3 would have been plenty, another set if they were to make Sonic 5.
