I really don't like how Sega is intent on continuing the Sonic Adventure 2 tradition of shoving both love and hate at us in one indivisible package. Why does Sonic Team think this is a good idea? Is it that they believe the games sell well enough not to risk "screwing things up" by making a 3D Sonic game too short or single-minded?
Seriously, cut the Werehog stuff out, save 30% of the dev time or whatever, and make it a $40 game. $10 off will do wonders for curbing complaints about length, imo. Give us what you did with Sonic Advance 1-3, only in 3-D. That's enough!
