Seriously? Sonic is about a hedgehog who can run fast (although hedgehogs are slow as hell) who collects rings in checkerboard worlds while beating up a strange ginger in various flying machines.
Is that honestly any more realistic? "
I don't think somebody understands 'humour'. I wasn't making a statement about realism, I was offering banter about Mario.
I like Mario, I tend to play it around friends, namely because I don't have a Wii and it's really only something I enjoy multiplayer with. We play the old and the new and between them, the game keeps to the same feel and remains true to its legacy - though some might get tired of the same over and over. But I like games to grow with me.

Agreed. I wasn't that huge of a fan of SA2, Sonic Heroes was 'okay' and Shadow the Hedgehog was too silly for my liking. StH and Unleashed, people tell me NOT to buy either with big heavy warnings, every time temptation has hit me, someone's always been around to encourage my conscience away from apparently wasting money. Played a little of Secret Rings, not that impressed.
A "true to the roots" sonic game has left me skeptical, namely because it seems a maneuver to give credibility to the series by inducing nostalgia, yet, I love nostalgia, hence I still play a lot of old games I used to love. So it in theory sounds great and Wehtam_'s review puts the game in a good light.
