You're not alone, I feel the same way. I've beaten the game with 4 different controllers and Sonic just does not feel right with any of them. There's always a slight delay in his jumping or boosting or spindashing and it completely throws me off when playing. And the backgrounds are way too busy in the sidescrolling sections. The game looks very nice, but it does not play like classic or Adventure-era Sonic. Now, this might be because I haven't played any Sonic games after Heroes for any long amount of time, but I don't know where they got this control scheme.Tin Man said:Nope, sorry, I fit precisely into the nostalgia demographic for this game, and I have Sonics 1,2 and 4.1 on my 360 hard drive right now, but playing the demo for this game put me right off it. I found myself running into everything, because the sheer bright HD mess of colours means I just couldn't see a god damn thing, and the modern levels control like ass.
I guess I'm the only one though *shrug*
I have no idea if it's an issue with the full game or not, but I found with the demo that the controls lagged a considerable amount more while in HD than on a standard definition television for the PS3 version. Once I was trying the game with my normal AV cable on a cheap, seven year old telly the controls were almost perfect. If that holds true for the full game, sounds like something they need to patch right quick. (The PC version controls perfectly as well, assuming you have the hardware to run it, with a game-pad hooked up.)Tin Man said:Nice to know I'm not the only one! I found what little I played a mad frustration because while the 3d levels felt as awkward as ever, I thought Sonic 4 handled really well. Putting that exact game, minus the homing jump, and running the original level designs through it, would've been enough for me to pick up a bargain bin sale I think...Starnerf said:You're not alone, I feel the same way.

Oh well, I imagine I'll run out of things to play by next August, and thats a dry season usually anyway, so I may pick generations up then for some achievement reaming =p
