Ah, the joys of Sonic's Master Genesis Collection. Finally back to those old Sonic games I used to enjoy and away from those extremely easy 3d Sonic games that a 5 year old could beat.
But I do agree, they should just make a new character. Sonic is supposed to be spinning, jumping, and battling Dr. Robotnik. Not swinging swords, shooting, and fighting giant enemy lizards, or a strange beholder that tries to put the world into darkness. Oh I forgot, that was some Shadow guy who fought the eye thing.
