Honestly, I haven't played Shaolin Monks much but I did like the hour or two of it I had played.

The new character designs look okay though the prior designs were far superior. Other than the modern Saturday Morning Cartoon look I think I detect a hint of Rayman Oranges in those designs. Also, lose the bandages. I haven't seen enough gameplay from that reveal to decide whether I'll buy it. The TV show trailer on the other hand, looks like shit. Outside of the animation, everything about this show just screams uninspired. I'll admit that the "Robuttnik" joke isn't great, but Sonic calling Egg Man "Egg Head" and a claw-wielding robot named Burnbot is just half-assed.

Maybe it is a nod to Nathan Drake or something?

Damn, I was thinking it was a nod to Proto Man.

There's a former Naughty Dog team member working on Sonic Boom, so it may very well be deliberate that he now looks a little like Drake.

Really? All I saw were Rayman's apples.

I think the animation is also crap. And yeah the humor is......agh. It's disappointing too, cause you'd think with the designs being such huge departures they'd be more ballsy about the story and the character's personalities too. But nope, here have more of the lame jokes that make me ashamed of playing modern sonic games and I end up skipping the cut scenes for.

Sonic Boom has a new character, Jump the Shark he was going to be in Sonic 06 but they went with Silver instead.

Yeah, those character designs have an element of grit the Sonic designs lack.

I'm strongly considering sigging this.
