It actually sounds like more of a mixing problem than anything else, to me. Like the voices are coming through a lot louder than the music or sound effects for some reason. Some of those lines actually did make me smile though ("It's like these tracks were built for me!", "Hey, there're things inside these things!") which is nice because I thought their other attempts at humor in previous promos were completely lame.
The combat looks better than in any other Sonic game... which is saying pretty much nothing... As for running, I figure it looks the same as any 3D Sonic... I dunno, I've always been more of a Sonic fan in theory than in practice (as if that makes any sense) and this looks like just another mediocre one for the pile to me. Not painful, just... nothing.

Wow, I couldn't finish that video. The only good things I can think of right now is it's a spinoff and the game isn't finished, so they can mix the audio better or cut some of the cringe worthy quips. I guess I'll wait and see what this turns into and force myself through the rest of Sonic Heroes to get ready for the pain if I ever play this.

Meh. Just meh. Minimal button pressing. I know it's a Sonic game, but the platforming parts seem almost too fast, with very little chance of failing a jump or much of anything and most of it seems to be those tether thingys so there's such minimal button pressing to do! I feel disappointed. I wish we could just get more of generations rather than a new sonic game. The character design is also quite poor in my opinion, I feel the animation of their legs seem a bit strange too but I can't quite put my finger on what it is or why.

This looks terrible... TERRIBLE! This looks like a god damn PS2 game, the environmental design is bland, it doesn't look bright or colourful, the arena combat segments... ehhh throw in a couble dozen combos and team attacks and could be fun... but aesthetically.... awful... just awful.

I suspect the talking will be greatly spread out in the full game and was condensed in this footage because E3. At this point, though, I wouldn't recommend going into any Sonic game with high expectations.

Not being a player of recent Sonic games I think I missed the part where him and all his friends gain the power to shoot telekinetic lightening grips from their hands to grab and throw stuff.
That's just weird.
