Looks interesting, but they could have used the Chao for the ¨Color Powerups¨ instead of these alien... octopuss... thing. Not that I´m against them, but it´s kinda weird to have a new species poped up without an introduction in the webs or something.
But replying to that Facebook quote in the first page, yeah, Ape Escape once made a game more violent than the other ones (Ape Escape Million Monkeys) wich had a different concept of the game, from a guy running around capturing bananna monkeys throwing peels to make you slide down to an army of monkeys dressed military-like carrying assault rifles, mounting in tanks, choking people by grabbing their necks and making genetical viruses.
Probably one of the times I got the most excited about hearing of a game, but then, they decided to release it only in Japan, due to the ¨Unsuitable Content¨ for the children. So if they made a violent Sonic game, it would most likely be in Japan-only.
