Okay, so it's a joke created by someone who beat Sega to the domain name, parodying another fan-created "Needlemouse" Sonic game. But that's still less of a disappointment than the real Project Needlemouse will probably be.

After playing that, I can safely say I'd much rather be a Super Walnut than a Werehog

Wow is this enough to dethrone Painkiller:Black Edition? (btw on GOG.com its the hidden gem of the week and going for $8 USD instead of the usual steal of 10 bucks.)

This is better than the past few years of Sonic games, sad to say.

Sadly, this is still better than the first X360/PS3 game.

I played it till I got to 9100, so I could make a over 9000 joke.

So it wasn't real after all?
I wasn't aware there was another project needlemouse. I figured after i was shown this site, and looked up its registration, that it had to be legit, because it was revealed well before the actual name.
Oh well, square one, i suppose.

Lets ignore the fact that, aside from Sonic 06, there has never been a bad Sonic game. And even 06, from the little I've played, was redeemable in parts.

These:
Sonic Adventure 1 & 2- great games with a few camera problems
Sonic Heroes- really fun game, but with a lot of bugs
Sonic '06- haven't played, but from what I've seen it's kinda like Sonic Adventure, only with a lot more bugs
Sonic Unleashed- fun game, with kinda repetitive night stages
So, I'll say if anything, 3D Sonic games have been mediocre at least. Never flat out bad, as the internet suggest. Oh, but the internet is NEVER wrong, is it...

Your picture is of Sonic, therefore your opinion has been dismissed.

Actually, my picture is of Sonic AND a Dreamcast logo AND Rick from Harvest Moon... Joystiq's avatars just seem to suffer from split personality, it seems...

"What Sonic games have you been playing?"
The good ones, like almost all of them.
Sonic Adventure 1 was amazing; Adventure 2 is the greatest 3D platformer of all time. Sonic Heroes with it's three member teams is the closest, I feel, Sonic Team have ever got to capturing the glory of the old Mega Drive games.
Then there's Sonic 06 which is, err...
Once you unlocked the upgrades, Sonic and the Secret Rings turned out to be a really cool game. The Black Knight was a decent followup. I've never played Unleashed, but Wiinterfang says its good and I've never heard him play up bad games before.
And in Sonic Rush 1, we have one of the best games in the entire series. I'd even put it up there with the elite four, besting Sonic 2 even.
So, no, there hasn't been an outright bad Sonic Game. Sonic Team don't make bad games, in my experience.

The Storybook and Rush games are spinoffs though, and if we count those, we should talk about Mario Party 8 on the same level as Mario Galaxy...
The "main" series go from SA>SA2>Heroes>06>Unleashed. Also SA2 best 3D platormer ever? Um... no. I like it a lot, but... no...

"Sonic Rush is as much as an spin off as New Super Mario bros."
Look at Josh's post at the bottom of the page.
Anyway, we're getting off track here, let's get back on topic. Which is, uh... *checks top of page*... make fun of Sonic... I guess...

"You know what guys? That whole Holocaust thing wasn't all that bad!"
P.S. I'd like to apologize to all the readers out there for equating Sonic 2006 to the Holocaust.
It was insensitive of me, and I'm very sorry.
Those people underwent such terrible suffering, and it's disgusting to compare that level of horror to mere genocide.

See, if i had said that, no-one would question it (as i've harped on the subject ad nauseum, so people understand). Nigeria and i share the same views regarding Sonic Team as one of the consistently better teams in the industry, while the majority opinion is quite the reverse.

I don't think expectations are nearly high enough to warrant disappointment.

"But that's still less of a disappointment than the real Project Needlemouse will probably be." Somehow I doubt that. I think the real game will take at least minutes to piss me off, and not seconds, like this.

I dunno.... The first screenshots featuring Zoom the Ferret will probably piss you off months before the game comes out.
