Bought it for PS3 when it came out. Who knows, mabey I'll just purchase it for WP7 so I have 1 game on here. Also to show Sega a little appreciation for making the effort

the Xbox 360 version was about 1600 MS points I think which translates to about $15 so its half price ,either way its ridiculous given how short and unoriginal the game is, its basically a rehash of the first 3 games. I already have it on 360 and got all the achievements except for one. don't know why those idiot game reviewers gave the 360 version the lowest rating of the 3 console versions. with that said im ready for episode 2 and hopefully it'll be more original and not just practically a remake.

$6.99 for a phone game of a classic is too much, I was always a big Sonic the hedgehog fan but, $7 is too much for a game.

I even think $4.99 is too much but, that's just me.

But, I expect HD level graphics and 5.1 audio on a console, so $5-$15 is resonable and expected on those. This is more of a classic, game room type game (when you go on your Wii/360 and download classic 8-16 bit games for a few dollars)

When I look over iPhone games that you can get for $2.99 (my wife jumpped for the iPhone 4) and the same level games on WP7 is $4.99 - $6.99

It just makes me think that WP7 has a lot of catching up to do in some departments and this is one of them.

I think its because its still too early in the wp7 lifetime. developers may be fearing that they will lose money if they develop for wp7. when mango comes out and when more devices are released to more carriers then prices will drop.

Sure but, at this time, I'm sure there is a lot of people like me. I am not willing, no matter how good it is, willing to spend $6.99 on a phone game.

Drop it to $2.99 and I would of been playing for a while aready.

Apps need to catch up everywhere, when I see an App for my local TV station or radio station in the Windows Phone 7 market place, then I know Microsoft has made it. Just like Android and Apple have in this area.
