you are totally right. i loved playing as all the other characters, but its the stupid critics not the fans. critics complained after sonic 06 that they didn't like playing as the others and then one critic made a review about killing off all the other characters and suddenly they were stopped being playable. I don't think its a coincidence, Sega is scared as if they have been threatened by terrorists, people will buy Sonic no matter what the critics say, heck we already do, so they shouldn't be afraid of them. IGN loved sonic generations but guess what they hated, yep the missions where you could be the other characters, they liked the Tails mission however. They commented about the others though as boring, stupid, tedious, a waste of time. You don't have to play as them if you don't want to so why complain about it, I thought it was cool and that is why they gave you a choice to play it or not. That is what they need to do in future games let you choose from Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Shadow, Rouge, Silver, etc. even if they are all clones who have the same or generally the same moves on the same stages which we can choose for ourselves to play as we want to play. Sega needs to stop listening and caring about critics who are still living in the 90s kissing and bowing to a classic Sonic statue, we all loved those games but we need to move on and try something new, Sonic is getting better and we can't keep harping about the past.
