Wait doesn't Spring come before Summer?

Indeed it does.

Yeah they're pretty similar. You could say the same about the Mega Man games, too, I suppose..it's hard to break out of that foundation I guess, or even stay within it and have your game not suck.

This isn't meant to sound offensive, but it might since I'm a little annoyed at the moment (not because of this, something else).

It's funny that when Sega tries to do something new with the Sonic series, everybody bitches like all hell and tells them to go back to their roots. When they actually try and go back to their roots, everybody bitches about a lack of variety.

All I have to say to everyone is make up your bloody mind...do you want something new or to the roots? Sega did admit that their last few games did bite due to some glitches here and there and that is true, it did have it's problems but nobody has yet really said if they liked any ideas for their recent games or not. Every review is just bitching about the gameplay or graphics or load times and such, never looking to see if the story was any good or if Shadow having guns was a smart idea or anything like that. How are Sega meant to know what people really want when there isn't a lot of agreement between people as to what Sega should try.

The last good Sonic game was Sonic Chronicles The Dark Brotherhood which I'd argue is as good as the first Sonic Adventure at least.
