So do I, but Sonic 2 is likely the definitive Sonic game.

I just realized Sonic peaked at the second game and has gone downwards ever since :D

Played the full version of Sonic 4 today at SEGA, it's absolutely stunning. Saw almost every level, the casino and labyrinth levels are really really good and it looks very nice. There are a lot of recycled things from the old Sonics though. But in general the game has come great. Looking really forward to wednesday.

(Also played Sonic Colors, liked that very much too. I think I will buy it, even if I hate playing on the Wii. The wisps are very nice, they are a really cool new feature.)

So in the IGN video review:

http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8__PP88BCY

At around 1:15, does it look like Sonic is speeding up while rolling? Did they fix that, or am I imagining things? :cry:

Same thing at around 0:10....it looks like Sonic picks up a little speed when he rolls down. What do you all think?

He does.
Can we say it's a good game now?

He's going downwards. What about horizontal sections?

You only keep going when you keep pressing down the direction button, even when rolling.

The reason why it looks like there is momentum, is because the game forces to keep pressing left/right when spinning.

There's no bloody way the guy's pressing DOWN+RIGHT so long.

When he's spinning down, he accelerates. That's accurate. I do wonder how it behaves on an horizontal plane.

Are you saying it's similar to jumping in this game? (Like if you let go of the D-pad, Sonic stops in mid-air.) Which would mean that if you let go of right/left on the D-Pad, Sonic's rolling decelerates rapidly?

That makes no sense. For jumping it works, but while rolling is absurd. I'll be so pissed if that happens.
