3. Sonic is *magnitudes* more playable than Mario. In part of course because that Mario sucks heavily.
Sonic game itself was mediocre to me. Probably because I do not get hard on when I see some antique console game mascots. I'm too straight for all that Sonic/Mario/Peach pr0n.

4. Yeah, I bought the original Sonic Rush, excited about the prospect of a new Sonic game... only to find myself instantly not caring anymore the moment I started playing. I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Maybe it was how small Sonic was on the screen, or how spread apart the environments felt... it was weird.
I sold it later on that day.

5. The speed of Sonic Rush is just immense and certainly makes it one of the most thrilling Sonic games ever, but also one of the most irritating. It encourages you to bomb about at full speed without a care in the world and then sends you straight into a bottomless pit that just appears without warning.... ggggrrrr!!
Levels made up of both blistering speed and precision platforming just don't really work (not for my sanity anyway).

1. *sigh*
I can't even argue with you guys that the level design isn't on par with the original classics BUT the inclusion of the trick/boost system sort of make up for it. Rush is the first Sonic that I ever consistently replayed to get better times in stages because of the way you can time tricks to keep you moving forward at an even quicker pace. I bet a lot of people don't experiment with that and the dangerous boost system (I love the stage where you grind on the rail and boost through the spikes and enemies like a bursting blue vortex of super sonic speed).
And because of the 3D implemented in the game there have been some "Oh that's really neat" moments like the end of the Egyptian stage where you ride a raft and move around like it's a beat em'up. That was cool.
My two biggest requests for the Rush series is a return to more detailed backgrounds and foregrounds and the feeling that you are playing in a real world and not a maze on top of a background. And the other request is TAILS AND KNUCKLES. Blaze doesn't satisfy me enough.
