   Well, that buddy of mine finally brought over his 360 the other night, so I   
   was able   
   to download and try out the Sonic demo. I wasn't real thrilled with it...   
      
   At first I was doing really well, I thought "Man, maybe all that talk of   
   constantly   
   falling down and killing yourself really was because people just didn't know   
   how to   
   play", then I got to the bridge part and it all just sort of fell apart from   
   there.   
   Like everyone else, I kept falling off because the bridge either didn't drop   
   fast   
   enough, or it did drop but Sonic just magically fell through it. Ugh. Played a   
   bit   
   more and fell off a few more times. Double ugh.   
      
   The graphics, imo(and like I said before, at some point) just don't seem "next   
   gen"   
   to me. I mean, like Scott said, they it does look like the cut scenes from the   
   SA   
   games, but to me that's just not enough of an improvement. The textures and   
   stuff   
   seemed like SA2 quality, which is good(actually, it's great) but I was just   
   expecting more. I thought this title would really floor me, seeing(and playing   
   it)   
   in motion...but now I'm kinda more "meh" than after just seeing the   
   screenshots. As   
   for the framerate, he moves so fast, I doubt anyone will notice it's not   
   running at   
   60fps(except for the fucking "professional" reviewers when they bash the fuck   
   out of   
   the game).   
      
   Thankfully it's just a demo...so they may clean it up quite a bit before the   
   release...but it's Sega...so I doubt it. :(
