yeah Metaru, exactly what Sonic OVA, Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 had for the time being (even though Sonic started to look "shounen-ish" on the second one) this is why they're pratically the only games of the new generation that are good. (pratically, Sonic Rush/Rush Adventure, Sonic and the Secret Rings, Sonic Unleashed are good too)
Also, Sonic and the Secret Rings had great written plot, dialogues and characterization. Sonic was still the all-smiles guy he was since Sonic Adventure 2, but he seemed like a real person, sometimes selfish, sometimes reckless, sometimes caring for others, there were cutscenes that he was truly afraid too. Some people said the cutscenes were long and boring, but seriously, fuck them in the ass. This is exactly how cutscenes in Sonic games should be played out.
While Sonic Heroes in the other hand, "BECAUSE WE ARE SONIC HEROES" kind of speaks for me. Corny, stupid lines and sometimes even incredibly redundant.
About new characters, sometimes, they are just necessary, I understand that. They can even add in new characters, but never, ever, add to the plot characters that substitutes other ones, irritating, or just stupid. Example? Chip. Enormous plot device, but he substitutes what Tails is for. Tails is Sonic's right hand, always there, following and aiding him throughout his adventure. But lately, since Sonic Team is a bunch of cunts, they decided to make Tails the shop keeper/laboratory guy. And what makes me rage is that they tryied to force this sentimentalism between Sonic and Chip down our throats, and Tails acts like he was this very distant friend or something.
But, there are also new characters that are, amazing as this might sound, good. Gamma for instance, oh god I love Gamma. Too bad that bringing him back again can flush his awesome down the toilet. Sonic Battle didn't ruin Gamma because Sonic Battle had also well written dialogues, characterization, and storyline pace. Shaahra and Erazor Djinn are other good examples, they were characters truly necessary for Secret Rings' plot. They didn't feel like they were substituting characters or trying too hard to stand out just because they are new (like all bad new characters on Sonic games does!)
Now I'm being overboard again.
