While some may worry that this gameplay dynamic of rapidly speeding through levels while avoiding enemies and obstacles might wear thin quickly, it seemed to be entirely the opposite in our experience. As we progressed further into the game, more and more depth became apparent. Levels in the game have multiple branching paths, allowing for some degree of exploration. Furthermore, each of the game's levels features not only the standard "race to the finish line" objective, but also a series of challenges that could be tackled at the player's whim. These challenges award Sonic with something akin to experience points, which can then be used to outfit Sonic with a variety of new skills. We would go into more detail regarding this feature, but that will have to wait for a later date.

One of the biggest challenges befalling pretty much every 3-D Sonic title is the implementation of the in-game camera. It has become commonplace for Sonic titles to have completely broken cameras that often cause frustrating player deaths. Sonic and the Secret Rings cleverly sidesteps this problem by shooting the action from a dynamic camera angle which is not player-controlled, but which almost always does a perfect job of filming the scorchingly fast action. Although, we are usually sticklers for a manual camera, Sonic and the Secret Rings retains a classic Sonic the Hedgehog feel by taking the camera control out of the player's hands.

they also said that about Sonic: Next-Gen and Shadow The Hedgehog

and seriously speed is something this game will put into effect but honestly not being able to actually control Sonic fully is really lame. Only being able to control side movement + jumping isnt really the same as making Sonic run super fast all over the place and owning shit.

Camera Issues resolved? Thats because Sonic has limited movement so its not that big of an issue at all compared to the other games.

Let's see how it turns out. I personally like the videos on IGN. But limit of control can dampen the game.
