When it started, I watched it and thought

a) the theme tune was dreadful
b) it was a lot more enjoyable in a relaxed way than the other Trek spinoffs

But I just drifted away, and since then have watched precisely ONE episode which was actually very good. But I cvan't be bothered with it. If I got some videos cheap or something, I'd devour them, but otherwise.... not worth my precious, precious time...

Oh, and nice multiplayer. Not Mario Kart, but it's pretty good!

I'll get in an early defence actually, because some people just WON'T like it - it's different.

I think it's a step back to what Sonic is about: Speed and playability! The 'switching' between characters is essential, but never really felt like a cheap gimmick. Often there's a feeling of mild strategy as different characters can tackle an obstacle in different ways, and you have to decide what's best. The plot is again pretty horrible, but it will do - plot was never the series strong point.

Pretty much everything that was wrong with the Adventure series has been fixed - all the niggling little things are fixed up and shiny!

It isn't perfect mind! The levels can be a little TOO big if anything (though some might say that's a good thing!!) and there are still irritating falls to your death. But it's such a great improvement! The 3D world is so well realised most of the time, and the 'classic' sonic look is presented in shiny new graphical-ness.

If you can, get the Gamecube version - almost zero load times and takes up sod all space on the memory card. Impressive, especially considering the size!!

Was at my uncles in Canada a couple of weeks ago. It's out there.
And it's good!

Definitely my favourite Sonic game since the 2D days.

As I said before, the new Sonic RULES! It's a real step forwards after the backtracking of the Sonic Adventures. Very good game, love it love it love it...

Worms = better than I expected in 3D, but not as good as 'classic' worms.

Futurama - pretty fun game, but not on the same level as

XIII - great fun

And yes, I've got it. Wonderful game, I have to say. It'd be great even without the cel shading, but that works surprisingly well, and gives it even more of a special 'something'.... Worth a go

And Oddboy, also a good game isn't it? Bit linear and unvaried, but when it's that funny and that good looking, you just don't care!

I'd say it's a pretty fantastic shooter - far better than DVD. Pretty good comic conversion too.

But I'd wait for Sonic Heroes - SO GOOD!

If it's going to be an auction, you'd have to make it quite a prominent character - you could make a fair bit! Wonderful idea actually....

I love it, but I'm slightly worried it's taking itself far too seriously...

Still, wait and see

I have no problem with nudity, or nudists, but I agree with Art. There's something not-quite-right about people doing something like this. I wouldn't stop him doing it or anything, but if I knew him personally I'd be pretty concerned!!
