Oh.

Well, I personally see a problem with a lack of variety. Sonic alone just doesn't cut it with me. I enjoy playing as him, but I'd rather play as a boatload of others instead.

That's why I don't enjoy these recent Sonic-only games as much as Sonic 06 (yes, I like it better, due to more variety with characters and their unique gameplay styles) and games between it and Sonic 3 & Knuckles. (more variety than Sonic 1 & 2, due to there being 3 playables (Sonic & Tails as one does not count with me), as opposed to there being 2 or just Sonic)

Of course, I'm talking playable in actual Action Stages. Those silly party games don't even get a second look from me.
