Ok, so what's the best possible thing that could happen to Sonic in this point in time? I'm sure we'd all agree with the answer being going back to his roots. Well friends, there are forces at work who couldn't agree with us more.

I was recently introduced to Sonic Robo Blast 2 (one of ithe best fanmade sonic games ever) when I came across this little gem in the works.

I've played this demo, my god man! For starters, the game starts right where Sonic 3 & Knuckles ends! This right here is what dreams are made of, I can't wait to see what else these guys have in store!

EDIT: So I did a bit of information gathering, turns out this is well into development and has already gone through several stages, this vid showing off the most polished form. Check out the home site for more info.

The topic title mislead me.

I thought you were announcing the game was complete and released. It's been in development for 3 years now I think.

Of course recently it combined with another Sonic fan game called "Retro Sonic", so it will have more stages as well as custom ones. You should also check that game out as well.

I just wish development was faster. I need the full game.

Yeah, I was just playing the beta 5 of the old Sonic XG, before they changed to Forever, and then merged it seems like?

Sonic really holds his own in this game too. He can walljump, gains invincibility after catching speed for a few seconds, and can peel out like in Sonic CD and Chaos.

Just got done playing this and all I gotta say is wow. Can't wait for the full release. Though I'm not liking the Doomsday Zone music >.> *jams the heavy metal version*

Well, since it's modeled after the Genesis games (XG stands for Extended Genesis), the music in The Doomsday is a fitting choice. Close enough to the original, but different enough to fit in since your essentially playing the last level of the prevoius game first.

Knuckles does have his own opening level too.

Yea I kinda figured it was modeled after the Gen Game. Still though, I perfer the heavy metal version.

Also yea, I tried Knuckles. Yet to try Tails though.

I'm really liking this. I had been looking up Sonic fan games a week ago or so, and every one I found was either too far off from the original games, or just had a horrible physics engine.

The graphic style is a little different here from the genesis games, as it seems almost... shinier... but it doesn't detract from it. (This kind of reminds me of the Mega Man: Wily Wars style, actually.) I really love some of the quick nods at Sonic CD too, like "Toot Toot Sonic Warrior" for the invincibility music.
