This post is probably going to sound moronic, but here goes.

It's strange, the more I see of the game, the more disappointed I become. I mean, I'm sure the game will be fun, but from what little I've seen, there looks to be a LOT more platforming than there is speed. I love platforming, don't get me wrong, but Sonic games should have a balance.

Someone please tell me I've just been watching the slower footage.

So wait can people list who is selling early (in the UK at least...) I've got my Argos pre-order right now but it hasn't posted yet *sadface*

Oh well, I picked up Unleashed HD cheap today so that should help me with the waiting : ). Keep the impressions coming guys!

Gamestop doesn't have it yet where I live, Bastards.

I wouldn't expect any major gaming specialty stores to have the game- or at least sell it if they do have it. The stores that might end up selling early copies of it are probably all small, locally owned shops OR big general stores like Target or Wallmart that don't really specialize in games and therefore don't pay close attention to street dates.

I'm still looking for a copy myself though. It's hard enough even finding stores around here that sell games and AREN'T Gamestop.

I've got 110 red rings so far, ten more and I'll have 1-3 of game world unlocked, when I do I'll snap a picture of how one of our rewards is presented =P

Edit: If no one else notice, the school of fish in Aquarium Park act as a temporary bubble shield

Neat =D

You got 110 Red Rings?! That's a lot of dead Xbox 360's!

Ok I have a verdict for Sonic Colors after playing it for so long and beating plus the optional exploration that's really nice.

















EDIT: JETRONIC GOT A CHAOS EMERALD

After watching streams,

Spoiler

I just LOL at the way Tails is so confident and has no qualms about pulling up or lightly teasing his big bro. And I LOVE Sonic's eccentricities such as talking to an anihillated robot and his quasi-love of food i.e him wanting two ice cream generators and fancying sushi. He's so big on the badass talk. Toughest Sonic iteration yet?

This game's cutscenes are thouroughly charming.

So is that your first emerald?

It's my first, I'll have my second in less than 20 minutes or so.

Cool! How many red rings is there? 110 is a lot so far. O_o

I got 124, as dusk said before: 

1. 40 red rings unlocks the Miis

2. 50 unlocks the next gameworld act, 1-2 to be more precise

But as you get further and further...

3. 60 unlocks 2-2


4. 70 unlocks 3-2

5. 80 unlocks 4-2

6. 90 unlocks 5-2

7. 100 unlocks 6-2

8. 110 unlocks 7-2

9. 120 unlocks 1-3, and then I got through 1-3 and grabbed my first emerald.




Ok and if you see the pattern here, you'll know how each game world act unlocks.

I know, I found that out as I beat the game. XD

Ah well, credits were still fun. I have 128 of the Red Rings right now, so getting close but it is getting harder to find the last 52. I really enjoyed the game though and want to replay some of the stages again. I also have a hell of a lot left to S-Rank. XD

Ah, thanks!

And before I could count them I spoiled Dusk's post and saw that there's 200 to get, and he's in the lead at 128.

IT'S A RACE!

[Jetronic]

Number 2 get, that took a bit longer, I had some stuff to do =P

[PSI Tornado]

I just hope there's a guide to find all of the Red Rings by the time I get the game .
Also: Saw a video and YES, there is Multiple Saves.

Damn. Asteroid Coaster Zone Act 4 is <3ABLE

I mean, what's more epic than racing Motobugs IN A SPACE RING?

[Jetronic]

By the way guys, the very first red ring in act 6 (i think it's act 6) in asteroid coaster is a bit tricky to find, you can't jump off the first roller coaster yet, you have to wait and you'll see some rainbow rings when the roller coaster is falling off then you jump.

This photo is me still on the first coaster, don't jump off until you see that warning, then you jump on the coaster to the left.



http://www.mediafire.../?omsv0mna0hs7o - And a folder with a video of me getting it.



After you see a bunch of meteors to home on, try to stick to the left, you'll encounter a spring that'll knock you down into another coaster
that goes in a loop and falls again and you'll see the first red ring.
I did that act about 5 times until i finally found it






Also, THIRD EMERALD GET!





EDIT: 4TH EMERALD GET!

Got 150 Red rings... Just a few more...

5TH EMERALD GET









Btw finding the red rings, while difficult, is fun =D

Cubot needs to stay on for future Sonic games. He needs to be playable in Sonic Riders 4. Okay maybe the latter wouldn't work out that well, but if for some reason Sega makes Sonic Shuffle 2 then no excuses. Cubot is just awesome, I love his voice chips. Right up there with Gamma and Omega as one of my favorite Eggman robots! The cutscenes overall are excellent, I haven't laughed this much at the cutscenes since Sonic Adventure. I really hope the Madworld writers are writing the story for the 20th anniversary game too.

From what I've seen of Asteroid Coaster it seems like it will turn out to be one of my all-time favorite Sonic levels. The beginning of act 1 reminded me so much of Final Chase. I have a gut feeling that I'll love Aquarium park just as much, I never tire of Hydrocity.

I'm so glad they also thought outside the box for the final battle. Looks like all that needs to be done now is for Sega to make the 20th anniversary game at least as good as Colours and we can safely say Sonic is back for sure.
