Here's some proper impressions of the demo at Summer of Sonic from me. XD
The graphics look really nice and polished and the menu system is lovely.

When you say "the graphics look really nice and polished" do you mean GTA 4 nice (which in reality they sucked) or do you mean Batman AA?? (which was at a new level of kill)

[dabbido]

Wow! Thanks for the info bolt7! the items seem to be rather nice, altough it seems they are all generic and no character-series specific items. Theres still space for some items like that tough. Still its awesome that there will be much more characters! May the speculation begin! and Im all for my mii racing against the all-stars! Well...sorry if this is pretty much a list post but I think we will see:
-Axel (Crazy Taxi)
-Reala
-Gilius
-Mii/Avatars
-Ulala
-Ristar (I can dream)
-Pudding
-Gum
-Meemee
-Chicken Girl from Billy Hatcher XD
-Vectorman (dreaming again)
-Axel (streets of rage)

Ok, this is a kind of a realistic roster (minus ristar, vectorman and SoR Axel) but I really hope we get original characters instead of the clone characters.

Ah, maybe my Axel spam won't get him in the game after all then if there's skeletal problems with human models. XD Oh well, seems like they know what they're doing anyway. ;D

In my opinion, you can't really compare a cartoony kart racing title to the likes of GTA4 and Batman:AA, they're very different games. XD The menu system was sleek and looked a lot nicer than SST's. The in-game graphics had a few problems with pixellated shadowing, but apart from that looked nice and colourful. The character models themselves looked just like their Superstar Tennis counter-parts, but the courses really appeared like they had a lot of life in them. The graphics looked just like they did in the last trailer basically, you can see for yourself.

Steve told me before we started to play that Jacques' music was playing at the menu screen and I could probably hear it if I listened close enough. I gave it a go anyway and it sounded to me like it was just the music from the last trailer. Surely that's not the main theme, I mean it's nothing compared to the SEGA Superstar Tennis one!

And you're right Dabbido, all of the items I received anyway aside from the Allstar stuff were generic. Of course, there were title-specific stage hazards scattered around courses though, such as giant eggs rolling around the Billy Hatcher level and getting in the way of the road. Drove straight in to a couple myself. >_<

vvv The lead designer himself said at Summer of Sonic he loved Big, so yeah, you're right there. XD vvv

#4 is why Big's in this game. He has his fans, yes, but they are few, and far more people hate him than they do like him. However, they wanted to include him, so that's why he's in.

[Indigo Rush]

I was under the impression that Big just blackmailed them to put him in the game.

[PSI Wind FTW!]

^Hehe. Genius right there.
Big: I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU ALL IF YOU DON'T PUT ME IN THE GAME BITCHES!!!!!

I'm satisfied with the Sonic lineup, as I see the two I wanted (Silver and Metal Sonic) were longshots anyway.

I'd like to see both Ristar and Reala, so I'll keep my fingers crossed

[Ultimate X360]

^ I dont really see how Metal was a long shot, I mean he's been in the series since......Sonic CD (and sonic 2 if you really think about it). Now silver I dont give a damn about since I never liked him to start with, Sega just introduced him in a bad way and every game after just left a really bad after taste to me. (food reference does mean Im kinda hungry )

But I kinda do wish Blaze made the cut, I mean I really want to see more of her in sonic games... It's rare to basically get the GIRL version of the main character.

Bolt- Thanks for giving me your opinion about the game and graphics....

This is going to be really good. I'm actually looking forward to it, unlike Superstars Tennis. And having Knuckles revealed with the Sonic line-up is the icing on the cake! <3
If Richard Jacques is doing the music again, I hope it's not just the intro like Superstars Tennis. Or did he do more than that? I just remember the rest were original songs on the courses. >.>

As for which console I'm getting this for, it will definitely be the 360!

He did a Space Harrier remix that appeared in all of 3 missions! Yay....

Totally agree with you though. I hope the levels have remixed music rather than just the original tracks that SST has.

[Flyboy Fox]

Can anyone tell me what Tails' superstar move is? No one seemed to know when I asked around on the day, because no one was playing as him ;_;

Only because Knuckles and Sonic are far cooler than Tails. =P Didn't you get a chance to play?

I don't actually remember Tails being playable. He, along with Shadow, Eggman and Big, took part in the race itself but I don't remember them being on the selectable roster for the demo - just Sonic, Knuckles and Amy I think.

I think his All Star move is called the 'Tails Tornado', whatever that is.

You couldn't play as him for all I can remember, same goes for Eggman. =X The only playable Sonic characters were Sonic, Amy and Knuckles- I would've chosen Tails over Beat for my second go defiantly. XD Maybe I'm wrong though and just kept looking past him, I dunno.

Also, TSSZ posted up some of the stuff I wrote which is fine, but thinking back to it Steve said:

Same things really, but better get my facts straight if it's going to end up on there. XD

Edit - MK beat me to it. XD Yeah I remember the phrase 'Tails Tornado' being mentioned a few times.

Edit 2 - Wait, I just noticed the friendly Sumo Chap in the glasses was SOL! He has it written on the back of his shirt, never noticed during the event!

Yeah, I knew his All Star move (lol, sorry, forgot what the moves were called before) was called that... just wanted to know what it actually was ^^; Guess no one knows then?

I swear that I copypastaed exactly what you wrote...unless you changed something in after my publishing it or such a thing. Certainly wouldn't be the first time revisionist history has occurred to make me look bad (and I'm not saying that was your intent, either...if that was the case. )

Its either him doing some sort of windy tornado-ish thing to his opponents or him actually getting in his TORNADO and shooting at people. Could be the first since in SST he did that windy attack and it was also called tornado...something XD

I hope it is the latter though, itd make much more sense. Btw I know this is a bit off-topic but Flyboy Fox...do you have that sonic art on your sig, clean? cause I have the other sonic art and I plan doing my own shirt with those artworks (with iron-on paper) thanks in advance! <3

[Flyboy Fox]

I do have it, but unfortunately it's on my other computer which is currently dead. ^^; If you can't find it in a few days, get back to me and maybe I'll have access to it by then.

I still wish Tails was actually flying the Tornado in the game ;_; But alas, all the vehicles appear to be ground-based despite Tails flying in at the start of the trailer :(
