Just played the demo myself, and I have to say, it's freakin' amazing. I especially like how the Red Wisp is used in the level.
EDIT: Nevermind. No$GBA runs the demo perfect. I feels very Sonic Rush-Y to me. Although it is more enjoyable than SR.
There's no way my laptop will be able to run this smoothly, but...eh, whatever I'll give it a shot. EDIT: Ran well enough, surprisingly very fun. I was never looking down on the DS version but this is quite enjoyable.
If anyone wants the midi, I have, but you'll have to fix it up. http://www.mediafire.com/?8us99w5991j6jbn
SEGA keeps on surprising with Colors. Even the DS version many including myself would be water down is pretty fun. Oh SEGA keep it up after Colors and you might start winning over people more often again~
So, just played the Demo. It feels like Rush 3, but better. The wisps really add something to the game, instead of just being a cheap gimmick. The more I see and hear of this game, and after playing the demo of what's supposed to be the throwaway cash in version of the game that's even good? I dunno, guys, I'm really starting to believe this game might be something special.
If this has level design like Rush Adventure and overall progression like Rush, it'll be my favorite DS Sonic game, period.
So what's everyone's best time on the demo level so far? Mine's 1:58. Apparently there's a shortcut that lets you skip the hang glider part at the end, I haven't found that yet. Also, man, I love the music in this game. Possibly even more than the music in Rush. Man, I wish the soundtrack for the console version would hurry up and get leaked already. EDIT: Mini-Yoshi made a map of where I'm talking about.
@Bobinator: Is it the red burst barrier right above the glider's start? I've never been able to make it over there in time before I run out of red energy.
I made it through there on my first try and didn't see a hang glider. Then I played it again and I was like "What? I don't remember this part". I see they brought back the "tap Sonic while he's on the bottom screen" thing from Rush.
Oh wow, how did I not see that post before? *downloads* I was laughing my ass off the whole time I was listening to that. It just sounds so terribly off-key and everything about is wrong. It kinda sounds like it was played by an elementary school band using toy instruments for toddlers.
That's what the converted spit out. SSEQ2MIDI is what I used. Form what I know, anything with "Electric Piano 2" seems to be a bassline.
I figured out how to get to the path above the hang glider: take the lowest route. You'll get a Red Wisp before going through an up-only platform.
The 10 or so minutes I mess around with in the demo was a much more satisfying experience than the whole of Sonic Rush for me. I hope the rest of the levels retain this amount of quality to them and I may have a new favourite handheld Sonic game to topple over Sonic Advance.
