I didn't like the game from the demo, but this seems pretty reasonably priced for new modes.

Yeah, this will deservingly receive overwhelmingly negative comments.

It's already been discovered that the dlc actually has solid information in the file. It might be small, but it's large enough to contain new map arrangements/etc. It's essentially the same as loading up a quest in PSU or such.

Sega may or may not be making the content as we speak, but it sure isn't an unlock code.

And some of the blame can be laid on MS. I've heard they rushed Sega to get this game out. If it's any consolation, the game was worse on ps3 when it came out a few months later.

As for this game, I would almost be willing to pay a few bucks for a patch. I think it could have been far better with a bit more effort. Alot of this stuff should have been included though, the game is lacking in the extras department.

"How about a patch to make the game at least semi-playable?"

I agree. If ST released a patch to fix the biggest issues with this game, I'd gladly play through it again. Hell, maybe I'd actually even download some of this content.

Did anyone like this Game? I thought it was the worst on the 360 so far.

Sega should think about making the game that ships on the disk good before considering trying to sell us extra content.

Im starting to get sick of their crap. I stood behind them for years but with PSU, all recent Sonics, Chromehounds, Armor Core, and Virtua Tennis all being pretty much junk they have fallen from my good graces and this doesnt help one bit.

What the hell happened Sega?

This is absurd. Although they are not truly "unlocker" codes, they shouldn't be charged for. I know Sega is bitter about losing money on such an awful incarnation of Sonic (Just bring SonicCD to XBLA and you will be forgiven!!) but $2 for cheats?? C'mon. This is getting old. Put an end to this MS; it's UNETHICAL.

I enjoyed this game, despite its REALLY Glitched controls and the long loading times because the devs are too stupid to code well. But like everyone has been saying this crap should have been in the game to begin with, or free. Anything over 50 MS Pts is pushing it for this, as its not NEW in anyway. Sonic Team release some NEW, ORIGINAL LEVELS as content. Get a patch that fixes the ridiculous loading times, or the glitchd controls. Also is it me or does Sega not do auto updates despite glitched games. Condemned & Sonic have no auto-updates.

Lame, charging content for a game that totally sucked. At least nobody can buy it since no one owns the game.

Yet again the downfall of the next generation... micro transactions, content that should have already been provided with the $60 price tag. I'll do the same as I do for EA and that is not buy the product.

Microsoft should stop this stuff. However, I'd think Microsoft actually encourages it. They discourage free content, like how they wouldn't allow Geometry Wars to be released for free.

I hope it comes for the Europeans. It would be great. The south park film is very good and funny.

Unbelievable.

The latest sonic is so bad. Every level is different - different control scheme or different characters, and none of them are any good. The loading times are a total disgrace.

Controls are useless and camera is shocking. The game was a total disappointment and I can't even bring myself to finish the Sonic levels i'm so disgusted with it.

Now they want to charge us if we want to unlock a mode that should have been included with the game? They have got to be kidding. They should be issuing refunds if they want us to play it more!

Do you listen to the podcasts? He said don't ask him about this stuff! If some rumour is true, he will post about it when Microsoft have announced it.

I agree with all the complaints above and I actually LIKED this game. However the load times ARE aweful, the game IS buggy, it could have been FAR more fun without all the issues and the unlock keys are just WRONG.

As others said, they are charging for functionality which had this come out BEFORE DLC would have already been built-in to the game and was on Dreamcast.

This game was rushed, badly written and VERY poorly beta tested (was it tested at all, doesnt feel like it).

I only rented and WILL buy it, but its not worth full price with all the bugs in it. I have seen public Alpha tests that are more "finished" than this game.
