So many incredible games. Sonic 2 is still my favorite, it got everything I loved about Sonic and did it better than any other title. Asll Sonic games are so unlike anything. There are no platformers like the Genesis Sonic's, to this day that are infintely replayable and as good as ever. And as much as modern 3D Sonic gets trashed on it still does something no other games does. Getting S ranks in those games offer a rush few games could match.

I am incredibly excited for Generations as it looks to have everything a Sonic fan can ask for.

Sonic 2 is still the greatest.

Sonic CD is the most overrated Sonic ever. Sorry.

The demo is excellent, the second the title screen had the original theme song I was in love. My first reaction was that I couldn't see when sonic was running fast. They need to work on the frame rate to make movement smooth cause it's to hard to make out enemies at high speeds. Other than that it's great. It feels like genesis sonic minus momentum building as a ball. The level was a blast, it looked gorgeous, and the music never sounded better.

The demo includes code that reveals THE ENTIRE GAME. Every single level, all missions, all bosses and even DLC.

The level list is here. http://www.sonicretro.org/2011/06/morning-hacking-round-up-level-list-bosses-first-music-rips/

Some are great selections but some I am very disappointed in, especiall only having one level for Sonic 3 and Knuckles.

There is a list of missions, they sound fun. Looks like the game will have a bunch of content as all Sonic games do. The Genesis Sonic games seem to be included.  I hope there is a bunch of DLC, I want all great levels redone like this. Or just make Generations 2 and 3 and 4.

Fun game. I noticed the screen gets a little jumpy if you try to go back and forth quickly. I'm sure that'll be worked out though. Game's almost too fast though at its highest speeds. Hope that gets fixed.

Yeah I tried the demo and it seemed a bit too fast to me as well. It was like I lost focus and couldn't ascertain what was on screen to well making it difficult to react to enemies or hazards.

Oh yeah it's also a timed demo so I apparently only have 19 more days to play that one short level. LOL Don't see too many of those around.

Yeah unless Sega plans to put out several more demos for the game the timed demo is kind of weak. It's ONE LEVEL. One level that's not even properly tweaked yet. Better not let gamers have access to this one rough draft otherwise no one will buy!

This is a gift to fans for the 20th anniversary. There will definetely be more demos later. But I see why companies don't let us play E3 demos, cause people go crazy and judge unfinished products.

Hey, I just noticed something - Vader's missed out on the best Sonic games from Adventure 2 to Unleashed!

Because when I think Sonic, I think of Heroes, Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic 2006, Sonic & The Secret Rings, Sonic & The Black Knight and those masterworks, the Sonic Riders games...Nyaa

The first Sonic Riders wasn't a bad game.  It's not a must play, but if you see it for under $20 it's worth playing.
