I can safely say, there's nothing inherently wrong with Forces. It's mechanically sound, plays well, looks amazing, great music, it's fine. The only problem I have is the story and Classic Sonic.
I think Jackal Squad as a whole would be interesting in the IDW comics. Sonic Team actually took the chance to flesh out the world of Sonic, they'd be crazy not to jump on this new group of mercs.
It's SoA that see there's something wrong, they're just helpless to do that much, since SoJ refuse to co-operate with them. And it's SoJ who own Sonic Team.
