I think Auto is the last person who should be calling out the defense force thing considering all his defense of Sonic. That fact of the matter is Sonic ran into a wall when it tried to go 3D because it was simply get the rings and stop the bad guy. The reasons that Halo and Call of Duty are successful are the same reasons Sonic was. They introduce the same concept each time, but by changing who your fighting it adds depth to the story. Sonic Team has yet to make a good story (in my opinion) that fits well with Sonic the Hedgehog as a character. The reason that Halo or CoD beats Sonic is for the reason that there IS a huge story behind it all. It isn't just point and shoot. Halo is nearing it's completion in telling an entire story about a kid who was kidnapped from the military to become the best soldier for them. Once Reach is done, it'll tell all of the main events from the beginning to the end. The Halo Universe has a huge story behind everything. Bungie didn't just make the games. They made novels, television programs, and almost every kind of media out there based on the Halo story. They revived the Space Marine hero and redefined the FPS genre again (First with Marathon). Call of Duty MW and MW2 have infinity ward telling a story about events that triggered the third world war. Sonic has just jumped from every genre and back and that has tarnished it's reputation in the gaming community, not only because in the most part the games were unpopular, but because they felt that Sega was trying to milk it's dead cash cow. But as always there are those undying fans who pray for the Sonic game everyone will love again. But that'd be the end of my little rant. I'm going to go and make a sig now.
