Quote from: "the_darai"But is Sticks playable?
Seeing as how we know nothing about her regarding the game other than the fact that she's in it, not that I know of.
MAJOR UPDATE GUYS! More game details were announced.
Wii U: This version will be subtitled "Rise of Lyric" and some gameplay footage of it was revealed. And the character models look SO much better than when the game was announced. There will be 2 types of stages: speed stages and adventure stages. The adventure stages are slower paced than what we're used to. For more info, click here:
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iqC7VEJOEGU3DS: This version will be subtitled "Shattered Crystal" and it plays like a 2-D Sonic title. The game's plot revolves around Amy getting kidnapped by Lyric and Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Sticks (who's playable in this version) have to rescue her.
I'm going to go into a minor rant on Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric. Sega, it's okay to let select people try it out before E3, but it's NOT okay to let them try it WHEN IT'S NOT YET READY. Gamexplain encountered massive frame rate drops and minor glitches (such as falling through the floor while homing attacking an enemy) while they were playing it and THEY said they felt it wasn't ready at the time. (luckily though, footage of this that I've seen in interviews show none of those problems, so we can be safe to assume that they were fixed or are on the process of bieng fixed.) Next time, get all the kinks out BEFORE you let people play a game before E3.
