The gun ruined all chance of a good game, in my opinion. It just doesn't suit the Sonic franchise at all. Since when has Sonic the Hedghog had guns in it? Since never. Robots all the way.
As for 3D Sonic games being shite, that's stupid to say such a thing. Sonic Heroes was so annoyingly crap it's unbelivable, but both Sonic Adventure games are pretty good, especially the second. Sure, all the 'cool' loop the loops are crap and is Sonic Team trying to impress 2 year old, but the rest of the game is good. Storyline, switching between characters, everything. And the music in both games was the mutt's nuts. Wild Canyon and Pumpkin Hill are rocking ![Smilie](/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
I wish I could say i was interested in this game as I love Sonic (and Shadow even more), but the whole concept of including a gun ruins it. I'll give it a go when it's released though, and try my best to prove you all wrong ![Smilie](/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
