You unlock it when you get all 5 red rings in Planet Wisp Act 1. Beating the game just unlocks Super Sonic (too bad he kinda sucks).Quote:

As far as attributes go, it looks like he only gains invincibility, not the super shoes powerup like he did in the old games.Quote:

@theSonicretard: I think you're right. Shame they screwed up on that. @Cornholio: Modern Planet Wisp has a different variant of Wisp; not as frustrating as the Classic level's, but in the later part of the Act, well, you're see ;). The trickiest stage for me; at first, Classic Crisis City (god that remix is a-w-e-s-o-m-e). The tornado ripping away the Robotnik Sign and then having to jump car to car had me raging for a good half hour.
It seemed perfectly serviceable to me, it didn't really strike me at any point that analog control would make it easier/better BUT at the same time I haven't played the game with analog controls at all. :) So I can't really comment on it much besides the fact that you can complete the entire game with a Saturn pad (and get some damn fine ranks/stage times).Quote:

-edit-
Is the PC version download only?
In the US, yes. In europe, they are releasing a boxed copy of the PC version, but even that copy uses steamworks, so one way or another you're gonna need steam and an internet connection to at least start the game the first time.Quote:

Even beyond the speed not being what it should be, I think the ring consumption is what kills it. The stages in this game aren't normally loaded with rings in the first place, but the countdown speed makes it damn near impossible to stay super. Then modern goes a step further and actually dings you at double the rate when you boost. That's so balls.Quote:

Boosting draws rings to you if you time it right; it's not as affective as the electric shield, though. I think as it stands now, Super's useless, though tbh, I don't think he'll ever be fixed.
I'm actually really enjoying this game.
Best sonic game in years.
