uggghhh..... you know sonic colors is gonna be good cause its no gimmick but for every good sonic game theres gotta be 5-10 crap sonics to follow
OH BOY! we get to ride on hover boards now with no remote controllers so now it feels more realistic oh and also you get to ride with a terribly voiced hawk and a bunch of sonics annoying friends to play this wonderful masterpiece all its gonna cost you is a low price of $69.99 but wait to play you need the peripheral which cost $159.99! cause we all know this is what the Sonic fans!!!!! and we collect all the $$$$$$$

I think this looks like it could be a lot of fun. At least more fun than Kinect Adventures. Mabye not as fun as Dance Central.... when I'm alone and no one is watching.

Lol, people ragged on Nintendo for the exact same things when the Wii launched. As "Bad" as the games are Nintendo sure has done something very important within the gaming industry and that's make lots of money and leave the competition scurrying to catch on and catch up.
Microsoft is taking a similar risk with the Kinect by introducing a peripheral that has integrates a seemingly gimmicky concept with no brainer game play types. Sure Sonic hasn't caught on since Genesis but reintroducing the character in a casual gaming title should attract the target audience.

All I'm saying is that in the long run this is good news for gamers and gadget geeks...er...enthusiasts.
Hands free menu naving (my word now) is a welcome addition as well as hands free gaming. Besides guys and gals, they are games. the are supposed to be silly looking and fun.

GO SONIC!!!

Because exploiting their hopelessly addicted fanbase for more cash is just too much fun...

...and admit it, if you were working for Sega and had that kind of unconditional loyalty from your fanbase no matter how bad a game is, you'd tap it too.
