I fully expect the Werehog parts to play better, be more intuitive, more challenging, and more fun than the Hedgehog parts.
Play Sonic 2, Sonic 3 and Knuckles, then go back to Rush and Rush 2, and you'll see that Dimps formula doesn't come close to the potential Sonic can show. Those games have very little substance aside from running, which, while Sonic is known for speed, isn't the only ingredient for a good Sonic game.
