Three Glimpses at “Game Land” Inside
Criticize IGN all you want for their recent distaste of the Sonic franchise, but this week at least, they’ve been quite good offering new glimpses into upcoming titles, and staying positive.
Today, the media megasite posted three new videos of the game’s recently unveiled multiplayer co-op mode. It all takes place within the realm of Game Land, and with a decidedly retro feel and soundtrack to it (including a rendition of the game’s main theme, you’ll get a good glimpse of what to expect from this component of the game. Powers can be combined, in some cases to really sock it to streams of enemies. Also note what appears to be a bonding system not unlike Knuckles Chaotix.
Game Land will apparently be divided up into acts much like the main stages, if the video descriptions are any indication–and different colored acts will encompass different tasks and different Wisp powers.
Check it all out in the video below. Thanks to Crysore for sending this in. If you have news to share, be sure to share it with us by clicking News Tips at the top of every page.

Is that a Chaotix style player connection in video 2?
…
This. Is. AWESOME!
I want that 8-Bit Tropical Resort Zone Music.
Seriously..I want it.
Bwahaha this game has more authentic chiptunes than Sonic 4.
^I lold
WOW JUST LIKE IN SSBB, IS COOL
VERY IMPRESSIVE; AWSOME
SONIC TEAM I love U 
…I don’t think I approve of Sonic’s new voice actor.
this looks awesome!
Wow, now I have more reasons to play this game. Can’t wait to try out this co-op mode.
“SPIKES”…*Reach for the Stars theme* Loved it.
Thank you Crysore for finding this.
No probelm
Hey, it is not bad at all.

Sega… why did it take you this long to make another freaking awesome 3D Sonic game ?
@Ninjaassasin
Pretty sure that is Sonic talking. Even if those are Sonic Robos, it wouldn’t be too much of a stretch for them to have Sonic’s voice.
Wow, this does not look bad at all! It maybe co-op but I feel fuckin’ hyped more than I’ve ever been!
@Ninjaassasin
That voice appears when normal sonic is there, so thats no proof. I think it COULD be Roger Craig Smith but its probably just the announcer xD We will know soon… I hope. On-topic: COMBINING POWERS? SO AWESOME!!! I loved every combination as well as the music!!! Super drill is just awesome 8D
So, that metal Sonic planet is Game Land. That makes sense now. Also, the power-up theme in Game Land is so catchy!
Love the nod to Knuckles’ Chaotix’ tether gimmick with the combined Spike power-up, too. What a nice touch.
Hmm, maybe Sonic, maybe announcer. Or maybe R.C.S. is voicing the “announcer!
*simultaneously* SPIKES!
I have yet to see what happens when you lose your drill power while underground…
@ Jansen “ShadowTG” McCord and @Ninjaassasin
Actually I Think That is Sonic’s new Voice Actor..Roger Craig Smith
I don’t think Their is An Announcer…SEGA Didn’t say anything about having an announcer
Hes actually Good But I think hes a bit too deep
Hopefully He will Improve as time goes by
For me Jason Griffith Was The only true sonic IMO(In My Opinion)
I wish Roger Good Luck and Welcome to the Sonic World XD
Cannot wait for this game …multiplayer looking good
Thanks for uploading these Videos
Did u know that u can combine 2 different colour powers in Game Land? It’s true, I was playing level 6-3 in Game Land when I had hover and she had drill. We used it at the same time and we suddenly had a hover drilling through the water!! Same thing with laser and drill. A laser drilling through the water.
