I like how they got away with calling FF7's whole Wall Market sequence "Comic Mischief." Probably couldn't pull that off today

Yes. Buying the game is like Episode I, where its a demo and a full game unlock.

Except on the EU store where they feel a demo is not necessary. Ah well, downloading from US store then.
EDIT: Wow, the demo is actually timed. It's only one demo level and I don't get to play the whole thing? That's quite silly.
Anyway, doesn't seem I'll be getting this at this rate. A few minor improvements but overall same old mediocrity of Episode I and the music still sounds atrocious. Actually it seems to be even blander now.

I haven't gotten to play too much yet, but yeah I like it. I really liked the rollercoaster level (although surprisingly few loops for a roller coaster). And Metal Sonic killed me twice last night before I went to bed but the battle looks interesting.
I also started the first zone of Episode Metal which was also fun. A little tough, but I dunno if it's harder or it was just late and my reactions weren't up to snuff.
If I have any complaints off the bat is sometimes I have trouble following, I dunno if it's a FPS issue or something. But I remember having the problem with Generations at first and I got over it, so maybe it'll pass.

The roller coaster boss battle was actually quite a lot of fun.
And did anyone else get briefly giddy over the Sylvania Castle boss? Oh Sonic Team you're such a tease.
I've gotten all the way to the final boss, but haven't beat him yet. I do have to say, though, that

I knew as I was playing that this place was just Aquatic Ruin all over again, and I was totally expecting that boss to be the same. As the totems rose up I was all like, "Aww yeah," and then...tentacles. O_O
And the Sky Fortress Zone act 1 was really great. Such an improvement of an old Classic, although maybe I'm just biased over my love of Sonic 2.

the Death Egg levels make me feel kind of ill, the way the screen tilts and such. My brain really can't handle it very well. :/

No.
It might be an improvement over E1 but it's still no improvement over S3&K imo.
And it's way too short too.

So there are rumors of a complete and total reboot coming in 2014.

Maybe something similar to Skylanders? Maybe some currently established characters will get axed?
Just rumors, but it will be interesting.
It's really not that bad. It's a little easier, but a lot of fun.
And there's the extra Metal Sonic levels.
Currently trying to get the seventh Chaos Emerald. This level is tough, but at least you can retry without having to go back and rerun the act to redo it every time. Unless you have to quit the game before getting it.

You think its easier? I've been kinda getting the impression that its a little tougher. For one thing I'm not swimming in extra lives and I even got a game over or two.
The bosses are certainly a lot cooler, not terribly difficult I guess, lthough Metal Sonic got me several times with that stupid destroying the track move.
I've only played the first level of Episode Metal, but that was certainly harder that the original version of that Zone. I don't think I died, but I had a pretty hard time holding onto my rings.

I beat the game and had six Chaos Emeralds within two days of the release.
It's easier than Episode I for certain.
Still need to get all the red star rings and that final Chaos Emerald.
And I haven't beaten the first act of the Metal Sonic levels yet. That was actually kind of tough.
I may also attempt to get all of the achievements...

Hasn't stopped you from getting all those platinum trophies you have

Very well, you're right. I just remembered hunting for those stupid things much more than the meaningless crap you got for it by comparison. The cape's only purpose was to get you another trophy, after all.

Got this game the other day. Certainly seems harder than the first episode, which I guess is a good thing. Haven't had much of a chance to play it, but I'm up to the oil sands boss, which I would've defeated, but it glitched out. As I'd lost a lot of lives, I got impatient, so rage quitted *nods*.
Edit - Okay, up to the first act of the Death Egg thing. Having trouble beating metal sonic. Seems I must either be super sonic or have a clean run. Even though I get seemingly miles in front of him at the very end of the race, he suddenly travels at a bazillion miles an hour and manages to just beat me every time.
Edit II - Okay, managed to finish the game. I found the last chaos emerald special stage thing quite frustrating. Can't be fucked getting all those red star ring things, though I have collected a handful of 'em.
