I mean, Nintendo does the same thing with the Mario cast (on an even bigger scale when you look at the sports/party games), but at least they have the sense not to try and incorporate some gritty Square Enix story into it.

I think the Freedom Fighters cartoon broke Sonic Team's brain and they're still struggling to recover from it. Things were looking up when Unleashed and, to a greater extent, Colors came out, but this feels like an LSD flash-back to 2006 with better controls.

Yeah, the fundamental problem is that Sonic keeps going full 'gritty drama' and failing to reconcile it with the cast and the lighthearted history.

Mario games can do serious drama, but it is contextualized within its own world, and there is the full knowledge that the game/drama can be apart from main canon.
