This is one of the very special occasions that I try to record a PS3 game, based on my knowledge of recording a Wii game.

The demo for American PSN users came out yesterday. A lot of XBL and PSN users here on Youtube uploaded their own approach to this demo. So I figured "Why not me?"

Modern Sonic seems to combine the streamlined courses of Sonic Unleashed's Daytime Stages with Sonic Colors' platforming elements that focus more on thinking than boosting.

While Classic Sonic has a cute, nostalgic feel, Modern Sonic, the Sonic of today, has more of a cool and adrenaline type of gameplay. Remember that Classic Sonic is now confirmed as the Modern Sonic's younger self. 

Apparently, at one point of a Sonic character's life, their limbs get longer, their eyes change color, and they may gain the ability to speak. Sometimes not in that order, and sometimes not all at once if Classic Tails is to be believed.

Still, running THAT fast with so much to see would definitely get my blood pumping, which is why I enjoy this kind of gameplay, too.

Through said Unleashed/Colors combining, it looks like the Sonic gameplay that can date all the way back to Sonic Rush (through Modern Sonic's Boost move) has been perfected in 3D.

And for clarity, compare this to the Unleashed demo that I also uploaded:
