People are playing it because the developers are testing it. The stats will probably get reset on launch day.
i don't think we'll see eye to eye on this. im a huge sonic fan, but if it weren't for colors and generations, i think i'd be done with sonic forever after unleashed. it was almost stupid to the point of being offensive. i don't see how it could possibly resonate with anyone outside of the sonic fanbase tbh.AbsoluteZero said:

But what's funny is that I don't really consider myself part of the "Sonic Fanbase".
I was when I was younger, in the heydey of the Genesis, but these days it's strictly a game franchise to me.
Mario on the other hand.

Just came here to say...
I now know who all of you are...
And you have been listed on an special list...

i might be the same way. i don't think i got the same enjoyment out of colors and generations that everyone else did, but i'll (probably) always play a new sonic game when it comes out. at its core, i think the whole idea of sonic from a gameplay perspective is pretty brilliant, its annoying the franchise doesn't have the same level of talent around it as it did back in the early 90's.AbsoluteZero said:
Also it looks like I might be wrong about
to be found anywhere. Must of have got mixed up with Brawl.
Song list is almost done (it was actually really easy). There might be some minor errors and some songs might be excluded because I honestly don't know where they came from. I'll PM it to you soon, RobbieNick.
EDIT: Someone claims there's
on GameFAQs. I hope so because I could of have sworn it was there...
EDIT2: Nevermind found it. It was in a random spot I've overlooked.
Sonic Rush music

What do you guys say the worst sonic song ever is? Not counting the bioware shit I would have to say... All Hail Shadow... omg it's just so... it sounds like a shitty fanfic but the song version of that.

Dude the sonic heroes theme reminds me of some old tv show theme, but I can't just place what it was. It latterly sounds like a rip off of it

Some reviewers were claiming to enjoy the modern stages more. Frankly, I'm enjoying it about 50/50. There are some stages where classic Sonic is better (Crisis City, City Escape, Rooftop Run), some where Modern is (Chemical Plant, Seaside Hill, Speed Highway) and some that are equal (Sky Sanctuary).

Not true at all, half the reviews love the modern stuff more, the other half like classic more. Honestly to me as fun as the classic stages are they just don't compare to the modern stuff. I'm not against playing the older games again for that type of gameplay, give me new shit when it works and the way they got modern sonic WORKS. It shows off Sonic being Sonic.zoner said:

Probably something from Shadow the Hedgehog. Can't remember a single memorable track from that game.
I've spent a few hours with this, so this isn't necessarily my "final" impressions.
I didn't really go into this with any delusions that it'd top Colours, but I did at least expect Sonic's basic moveset to carry over. It's pretty distressing to find that underwater controls are reset back to being pre-Colours limited, and that wall jumps are no more, removing a big part of the freeform platforming that made Colours so lovely. Levels being more shallow again was to be expected now that the powers are gone with no quirks to replace them, but there are elements of levels where I expect to be able to move more dynamically, and simply can't with this moveset. That's a bummer, and I hope "Dimensions" rectifies this.
I'm surprised by how alright I find the classic Sonic bits though. After the demo's eye bustingly weird camera pans and wrestling with even his basic movement, the levels are generally built so you don't necessarily have to fixate your eyes on what's coming up. When you do, it's usually slowed down to a pace where it's more comfortable to look at, too. It doesn't feel exactly like the old Sonics, but as far as I'm concerned that's mostly a problem unless it's still fun. I think it's pretty fun. It certainly puts the now downright abysmal Sonic 4 into even less flattering perspective. I hope ep 2 learns like mad from this, or it might aswell be a flash animation of people blasting that thing with fire extinguishers.
Generations is jarring though, and neither game invites the other. Pressing that "Y" button (or triangle I guess) to switch Sonics always feels oddly difficult to me. When you find yourself in the classic Sonic groove, smoothly running through loops and bouncing on things at a methodical, pleasant pace through strangely intimate locales it's hard to feel the desire to go twitch reflex/split second decision/boost melting your face off with the modern stuff, and likewise it's hard to feel compelled to slow your heart rate after an exhilarating zooming through 3D landscapes with your avatar responding to your every flashy whim. Like many pre-colours Sonic games It's ultimately halves of two different games slapped together, and that notion is difficult to escape. In a way Sonic has become his own shitty friend.

Btw, not all of the songs listed are unlockable songs because I've also included minor songs such as Options and Game Over (as a way to point out the source of the songs). The list also includes obvious choices such as the in-game default songs such as City Escape Classic/Modern Remixes. Might wanna note that before people gets confused.RobbieNick said:

Sonic Heroes isn't even the worst song on it's own soundtrack.
That would be We Can...or whatever the fuck SonicTeam's theme was. Just look up the lyrics for that.
Just yeah....

Now that we have the unlockable song list, can anyone give us the exact list of songs that were Cash-Cash remixes. I was surprised at what a great job they did on some of these tunes.

I think one if not both of the City Escape remixes were done by them...at the very least the Classic version
