First, we don’t know if its going to be good or bad as we have only seen a few videos, for all we know the combat for Werehog may be just as enjoyable as the high speed gameplay of Sonic’s. It also seems to have a similar speed of that of Sonic Adventure (which save for the classic three, was not over board with speed).

Second, the reason for Werehog is because most people want a Sonic only game, but people also want some of the Sonic Adventure gameplay as well. This way we get a brake from going 700+ MPH all the time and we get to enjoy some exploration and slower paced platforming along with some combat with other characters like Shadow and Silver taking over.

Third, it’s more of a cross of God of War and One Piece.

Personally, I don’t care about what gameplay they add to the game as long as they do it well. If Werehog’s levels are done with the same polish that Sonic’s levels are, I doubt that anyone would complain about Werehog at all.

whew

There may be still hope yet.

It has a few of the platforming sections for WereSonic, and shows off a couple of really cool-looking boss fights.

Is it just me or are Sega great at contradicting themselves? They said they made the ‘Hedgehog Engine’ to bring Sonic back to his old roots and his old style of gameplay, right? So why on EARTH did they have to throw this ‘Werewolf/hog/tard’ thing into the same game? It breaks the flow of the game they’re trying to make with that facking engine, doesn’t it. This whole werewolf bollox should have been put into a completely different game. It is so out of place, it is unbelievable.

God, Sega. Stopping raping your mascot already. This is becoming too sad to watch :(

When looking at Were-Sonic’s gameplay it makes me kinda think of a slower version of Knuckles, were they spent a lot more time with the fighting mechanics. If they can come up with some good fighting mechanics for Werehog it should be enough to balance out the normalization of Sonic’s speed (fancy way of saying making sonic run at a normal speed).

Still, with the advent of the Werehog’s slower gameplay, I am still interested in this game as it looks to be a far more solid of a Sonic title than we have had it recent time.
