Half the time they have good games hidden in there, they just make mistakes and player frustration levels are high.

The "werewolf" game is a good example. When it first came out, I played the PS3 version, and gave up. A mess with controls that hardly worked in the werewolf stages, and reminded me of how bad Sonic '06 also ran on the PS3.

I gave it another chance now it's been ported to XB One and upgraded to 60fps, while it's still got a lot of frustrating stuff it's actually much better when it runs properly. I dunno if they've patched the glitches, or if it always ran better on the XB360...

Yeah, Sonic is a hedgehog who, you know, rolls into a ball and has quills to hit his enemies with as well as moving very, very fast (we shouldn't be stopping for a minute or two to defeat any minor enemy with some kicks and drawing circles(!)). If they forget that, I really worry what else they've done in the game. This "new direction" they are aiming for may end up being Sonic in name only.
