Yes, we still have a forum.
Sounds like something i'd actually enjoy. The boosting is what i've always disliked about Modern Sonic games. As much as i loved the speed of some Sonic Unleashed levels, i never cared for having to boost all of the game time and the camera angles messed me up a lot. If Colors has more platforming then i might buy that as well. Generations has been pretty great thus far. I love how much this game is bringing me back, it's awesome.
I just finished up Generations. I may go back and complete the extra challenges. I gotta say, it was a great game, but way too damn short. Would've been nice if they had 2 lvls per game instead of just 1.
