If you want an unbiased opinion of the game, keep a watch on Sonic Retro or Sonic Stadium, they always do a review and because they are written by dedicated fans, they don't sugar coat, or try their best to knock the game for no reason. Even when I disagree with them, their points always are valid.
For example, IGN gave Sonic 4: Episode I a high scoring review, but as a negative criticism, complained it had no co-op. They didn't even mention anything about the terrible physics, like many Sonic fans can.

Heck, if you guys want, I could post a review here when I get Sonic Lost World. I won't post the review until I've at least finished the story, but I will post my impressions and some screenshots as I play the game. And I may record footage somewhere along the line.

But at the same time, I think calling it terrible is really pushing it. It's AT LEAST mediocre - the game functions well, and it's production values were through the roof. Most of the criticisms made my IGN and what not were completely untrue, such as "consistently unresponsive controls". Unleashed and Generations do have the odd bit of unresponsiveness, but nothing worth docking points over. It's very rare, from my experience.

The WiiS2 version, on the other hand, while still decent enough, does NOT deserve more than the next gen version. I actually get quite a kick out of the Werehog's stages in the next gen version, but in the WiiS2 version, there are only 3 or 4 stages I enjoyed. The rest were either filled with too much bland fighting (as the WiiS2 version hardly had any moves, and felt real stiff), or awkwardly designed platforming sections. And while the daytime stages are still good fun in the WiiS2 version, I don't think I need to go into how much better they are in the next gen versions.

Also, some interesting news has surfaced:

But yeah, I'm looking forward to this. The game is only a week away at this point, but I still want to get a feel for the new controls of both versions.
