Sonic the Hedgehog preview

With the 15 year anniversary of the little blue speed-freak fast-approaching, everyone is anxious to see if the unnamed Sonic the Hedgehog title releasing on the PS3 and Xbox 360 can raise the phoenix from the ashes. If screenshots are any indication, the game is on-track to do just that, showing some apocalyptic urban environments housing plenty of rings.

In the spirit of finding out more about this game at the upcoming E3, the show where the first glimpses of the game were presented last year, 1up was able to catch a demo of the game and tie it down tightly so that they may scrutinize it for the public, with magnifying glasses in hand. The preview reaffirms that the focus is to be on speed and that there will be no guns for Sonic.
