Sonic has been a constant stream of 3D disappointment, but the handhelds have always been entertaining. By handhelds, I mean the Advance and Rush games. I was hoping Sonic 4 would be good considering it's made by Dimps, but some hands-on reviews point toward it being terrible :(

You know, I've never played the Rush games. Are they pretty much just a continuation of the Advance series?

What reviews are you talking about? The first episode isn't due out until summer. Has the internet become that jaded?

I don't have the link, but supposedly you can get a demo build if you've got a dev 360 console, and people have posted reviews of this demo.

They've already got a demo out? I thought they still had a lot to work on.

Then again, maybe they do have a lot to work on, but just said "Screw it, let's make some money."

I gathered that some arsehole broke his NDA and leaked the alpha game to the rabid masses, but to "review" this build is rather stupid. But on the flipside if the team gets wind of the negative feedback it might positively alter the development process. Maybe.

At least they're delaying it, as opposed to rushing it out like Sonic 360/PS3. god what an unfinished pile of shit that was.
